When you sell baked goods at your place of business, you want to ensure you get the best possible product available. Exceptional taste and quality will ensure that the customers return as repeat clients.

A sampling of commercial bakery goods includes brownies, cookies, cakes, pies and muffins. You may also wish to offer specialty baked goods to your customers like no sugar added and non fat desserts.

1. Choose the bakery goods you wish to order for your business. You may want to conduct a brief survey to determine the inventory you should order.

2. Estimate the amount of baked desserts you need for your customer base. Average out your expected number of clients to decide how many desserts and baking goods you need to order.

3. Find a baked goods supplier and place your order. Ideally, you should order from a wholesale baked goods distributor to save the most money on orders.


Action Steps
The best contacts and resources to help you get it done

Order frozen baked goods


When you sell baked goods, you're likely to do some of the baking on site. However, if you only wish to heat and serve, then you should consider selling baked goods that initially come frozen. The products will last longer and taste delicious after heating.

I recommend: Choose from a large selection of suppliers of frozen baked goods on the FoodService.com site. To supplement your baked goods inventory, you can order many of the frozen products offered from the Stover Company. Frozen baked goods include brownies, pie crusts, scones, cookies, and more.

Buy specialty baked goods


Although the bulk of your orders will concentrate on more viable commercial bakery goods, you'll want to appeal to the client base looking for organic, low carb, no sugar, low fat or non fat baked desserts.

I recommend: View the list of products available through Garden City Foods, Inc. This supplier specializes in organic, all natural and low carb baked goods. You can also send a request to Graber's Kountry Korner to find out more about their specialty baked goods.

Get wholesale baked goods


For the hot selling items, you'll want to find a baked goods supplier that can give you wholesale prices. Finding the lowest possible prices will greatly increase profits for your baked goods business.

I recommend: If you’re looking for a popular and reliable distributor of wholesale baked goods, then place your order through the famed Zaro’s Bakery. Wholesale items available include pound cake, cookies, pies, cheesecakes, muffins and more. For more delicious products, check out the product list provided by Foxtail Foods.

Tips & Tactics
Helpful advice for making the most of this Guide

  • Before buying a bulk order of bakery goods, you should set up a product cutting. With a product cutting, a sales representative will meet with you and offer you a sampling of their different types of gourmet baked goods.
