Pick one of 40 ready products and your state. Ingredients, allergens and your state's required sentence fill in. Choose a style (Original, Modern, Friendly, Farmhouse), your colours and a size. Mix several products on one sheet, or print allergen cards for the till.
Type each ingredient the way you measure it: grams, ounces, cups or spoons. It works out your cost per unit, prices at 20%, 35% and 50% margin, and what your current price costs you a year.
Enter each ingredient's price once, then build up to 8 recipes from dropdowns. A summary tab compares every product and a market-day log tracks your profit. Yours to keep and edit.
Your stall sign, price cards, care cards and thank-you notes, with your name, prices and QR code. Same four styles and colours as your labels. Type it, print it, done.
Turn your Instagram, Venmo, order form or website into a QR code for your stall sign and care cards, or print it as round stickers.
One tap copies a ready order form and order sheet into your Google account. Orders fill the sheet by themselves, you tick Paid and Picked up, and the bake list adds up exactly what to make for each pick-up day.
Here, your state's required sentence fills in for you, checked against the official source, with the date we checked it.
Here, a Pricing Calculator and Spreadsheet show your real cost per unit, your time included, before you print a single label.
Here, a test sheet, a printing guide, nudge controls and a fit guarantee. Plus blank spares and a commercial licence, which almost none include.
Pick your state and the required home-kitchen sentence appears, with a link to the official source. All 50 + DC.

Jam, cookies and granola on one label sheet. Allergen cards for the till come from the same details.
Original, Modern, Friendly or Farmhouse, in your colours. Round, 2 × 4, thermal or allergen card.
A 2-minute test sheet checks your printer first. Then reprint every batch, forever, under your licence.
Four steps, about 32 minutes the first time.
Plain paper, scale 100%. Measure the ruler with a real ruler. If it reads 4 inches, every label lands where it should.

Care cards, allergen cards, stall sign, price card and order forms, ready for Saturday.
Printed on a home printer, on standard Avery sheets. Shown here with the sample bakery from the kit.
The anatomy page shows the eight things most US cottage food labels ask for. The Label Maker lays them out for you on round, 2 × 4, thermal and allergen-card formats, with your allergens in bold.
Rules differ by state and county. The Label Maker fills in your state's wording and links the official source to confirm. It is not legal advice.
The worry is always the same: "Is my label right?" So the Label Maker fills in the hard parts for you.
Rules change. Every state entry shows the date we checked it and links to the source, so you can confirm in one click.
Most home sellers price from the flour bag and forget their own time. Put in your numbers. The full calculator in the kit does this ingredient by ingredient, in grams, ounces or cups.

Print the pages as often as you need, add your business details and use the labels on food you sell. Keep the files to yourself: sharing or reselling them is not allowed.
The licence covers the designs. It is not a food permit or legal approval.
Print the 2-minute test sheet first. If your labels still don't line up on your printer, email us. We fix the layout for you, or we refund you. Either way you don't waste a pack of label sheets on a template that doesn't work.
November and December are the biggest selling weeks of the year for home bakers. The Holiday Label Maker adds four illustrated designs: holly and berries for Christmas, autumn leaves and wheat for Thanksgiving, hearts and a ribbon banner for Valentine's, and a gold ribbon and bow for gifts all year. Each comes with a greeting line and matching gift tags, keeps your state wording and allergens, and recolours with your swatch.
Right after payment you land in the app with your unlock code. Save the code for your other devices. Add it to your home screen if you like.
Choose what you sell and where. Your label opens with your state's wording already filled in. The PDF and spreadsheet are one tap away under Files.
Two minutes on plain paper, then your first real labels. If they don't line up, we fix it or refund you.
Format, printing, labels and the licence.
No. It is digital: a simple web app with the Label Maker, Pricing Calculator and QR Code Maker, plus a 23-page printable PDF and a Pricing Spreadsheet you download and keep. You supply the printer, paper and label sheets.
Right after checkout you land in the app with your personal unlock code, and that device is unlocked. Save the code: type it once on your other phone or computer and everything is there. No account or password. Your code works on up to 4 of your own devices (phone, laptop, tablet), and signing out on one frees its spot. Bought an add-on? It has its own code, shown with your kit code. Lost your code? Get it again in the app with the email you paid with, or write to support@cottagesfoodkit.store.
There are two versions, use whichever you like. The Pricing Calculator is in the app (it works offline once opened): type your ingredients, amounts and pack prices, and it shows your cost per unit and prices at 20%, 35% and 50% margin. The Pricing Spreadsheet does the same in Excel, Google Sheets or Numbers, with up to 8 recipes, a summary tab and a market-day profit log. A paper worksheet is included too, if you prefer a pencil.
No. The examples cover a baked loaf and a jarred spice rub, and the sample labels include jam, cookies and granola. The worksheet and Label Maker work for any product you are allowed to sell under your state's rules.
Any home inkjet or laser printer. Labels fit Avery 22807 (2 in round) and Avery 5163 / 8163 (2 × 4 in). The 4 × 6 in layout is for thermal printers like Rollo or Munbyn. Print the test sheet first.
Yes. Pick your state in the Label Maker and its required home-kitchen sentence fills in. All 50 states and DC are covered, each with the date we checked it and a link to the official source. Rules change and some counties add their own, so confirm on that link before you sell. This kit is not legal, tax or food-safety advice.
Print the test sheet on page 12 first: it catches the usual cause (your printer scaling the page). If they still don't line up, email us. We fix it for you or refund you.
Yes. Everything is editable: product name, ingredients, allergens, weights, dates, address and statement. Choose one of four styles (Original elegant serif, Modern bold caps, Friendly rounded, Farmhouse slab), pick from 7 colour pairs or your own colours, and add a printed border. Blank sheets are included for writing by hand.
In the app, tap "Get the order form + tracker". Google makes your own copy of a ready order form and a linked spreadsheet in your Google account. Change the products and pick-up days, share the form link or QR code, and every order lands in the Orders tab. The Bake list tab adds up what to make. It uses free Google Forms and Sheets, and your orders stay private in your account.
Two optional extras you can add at checkout. The Holiday & Gift Label Pack ($7) adds Christmas, Thanksgiving, Valentine's and gift themes plus gift tags. The Social & Pre-order Kit ($8) adds the Post Maker and 12 message scripts. The kit works fully without them.
Yes, for one business, as many times as you like. You may not share, resell or redistribute the files.
