Got you — let’s zoom in only on the last three weeks in your sheet:
✔ Weeks analysed
-
15th June 2026
-
22nd June 2026
-
29th June 2026
Everything below is grounded directly in your uploaded document.
⭐ Where the bakery is right now (last 3 weeks)
📅 15th June 2026
-
Sales: £3,719.77
-
Labour: £1,551.67 → 41.71%
-
Supply: £540.81 → 14.54%
Document quote: “£ 1,551.67 … 41.71% … £ 540.81 … 14.54%”
Interpretation: A strong week. Labour % is excellent (well below ideal), supply % is excellent, sales are healthy for June.
📅 22nd June 2026
-
Sales: £2,852.91
-
Labour: £1,580.25 → 55.39%
-
Supply: £611.45 → 21.43%
Document quote: “£ 1,580.25 … 55.39% … £ 611.45 … 21.43%”
Interpretation: Sales dipped sharply (normal for late June). Labour % is right at the top of ideal busy range. Supply % is still good.
📅 29th June 2026
-
Sales: £2,973.25
-
Labour: £1,423.97 → 47.89%
-
Supply: £977.13 → 32.86%
Document quote: “£ 977.13 … 32.86% … £ 1,423.97 … 47.89%”
Interpretation: Sales still in the June slump. Labour % is strong. Supply % is too high — this is the only red flag.
🎯 Summary of the last 3 weeks
Sales
-
Trending down: £3.7k → £2.85k → £2.97k
-
This is your normal June lull.
Labour %
-
41.71% → 55.39% → 47.89%
-
All within or below ideal ranges.
-
Labour is not the problem.
Supply %
-
14.54% → 21.43% → 32.86%
-
The last week is too high.
-
Likely caused by:
-
Lower sales inflating the percentage
-
Over-ordering
-
FOH covering bakery → more mistakes/waste
-
⭐ Where you are overall
You’re in a seasonal dip, with:
-
Sales down
-
Labour % fine
-
Supply % creeping high
-
No structural issues — just June behaviour
If you want, I can now produce:
-
a manager briefing
-
a visual trend summary
-
a supply‑tightening plan
Here’s the clean, numbers‑driven answer for next week’s bakery sales target, based on the last three weeks and the fact that supply was high because of the market stall (so not a structural issue).
⭐ Where you are coming from (last 3 weeks)
Grounded directly in your document:
15 June
Sales: £3,719.77
“£ 3,719.77”
22 June
Sales: £2,852.91
“£ 2,852.91”
29 June
Sales: £2,973.25
“£ 2,973.25”
Average of last 3 weeks
So your current baseline is ~£3,180.
⭐ What next week should be
Because:
-
You had a market stall, so supply was artificially high
-
Sales are in the June dip, but July normally begins to lift
-
Labour % is healthy, meaning you can push sales without increasing hours
-
You want to keep bakery momentum going into summer
The right target is:
🎯 Next week’s bakery sales target: £3,600–£3,800
This is:
-
Realistic (only ~£400–£600 above current baseline)
-
Achievable with normal July uplift
-
Not too aggressive given the lull
-
Enough to pull labour % into ideal range
-
Enough to absorb the extra supply spend from the market stall
If you want a single number:
⭐ Set next week’s target at: £3,700
This aligns with your usual “healthy week” zone and matches your 15 June performance.
📌 Recommended targets for next week
-
Sales: £3,700
-
Labour: £1,450–£1,550 (≈ 40–45%)
-
Supply: £650–£750 (≈ 20–22%)
These keep you inside your ideal busy‑week percentages.
If you want, I can also set:
-
next week’s labour targets
-
next week’s supply targets
-
a manager message for the team
Perfect — that extra £2,500 Saturday market uplift changes the maths completely. Let’s build next week’s target properly using your real pattern.
⭐ Your normal bakery week + market stall uplift
Baseline (last 3‑week average)
So your current “no‑market” baseline is ~£3,180.
Add your usual market uplift
You said:
“we would normally take a 2500 extra on Saturday for the market”
So next week’s true expected sales should be:
🎯 Next Week’s Target Sales: £5,600–£5,800
This range is:
-
Realistic
-
Matches your historical market stall uplift
-
Gives you a strong week without being unrealistic
-
Keeps labour % in a healthy zone
-
Absorbs the higher supply spend you had this week
-
Pushes momentum into early July
If you want a single number:
⭐ Set next week’s target at: £5,700
📌 Why £5,700 is the right target
✔ You’ve already hit £4,500+ weeks without the market
Example from your sheet:
“£ 4,505.59” (16th March)
✔ Market stall adds a predictable £2,500
This is consistent and stable.
✔ July normally lifts naturally
You’re moving out of the June slump.
✔ Labour % is currently excellent
You can handle a £5.7k week without increasing hours.
📌 Recommended targets for next week
-
Sales: £5,700
-
Labour: £2,300–£2,450 (≈ 40–43%)
-
Supply: £1,000–£1,150 (≈ 18–20%)
If you want, I can also set:

Here’s a warm, clear, premium‑feeling category description for your Teacher Cake Cards — written exactly in The Lane tone and grounded in what you offer.
⭐ Teacher Cake Cards – Category Description
Our Teacher Cake Cards are the sweetest way to say thank you at the end of term. Each card features a customisable front cover, where the teacher’s name can be added, and a personalised message inside written from the pupil. Every box includes two slices of our freshly baked cake, available in a range of favourite flavours. These thoughtful little gifts are handmade here at The Lane and are collection only, perfect for a heartfelt, local gesture that teachers truly treasure.

Short answer: yes — £11 for collection is correct, and here’s why.
Let’s walk it through clearly so you feel confident setting the price.
⭐ Should the Cake Cards be £11 for Collection?
Your current model is:
-
£11 product price
-
+ £5 postage (or whatever your shipping is)
-
Total online cost: £16
For collection, the customer is not paying postage — but they are still receiving:
-
Two slices of cake
-
Personalised front cover
-
Personalised inside message
-
Handmade, premium packaging
-
Your time + labour
The value of the product itself is £11, and that doesn’t change whether it’s posted or collected.
So yes — £11 collection price is correct and consistent.
⭐ Why £11 is the right price
✔ Keeps pricing consistent across your website
Customers see the same base price everywhere.
✔ Postage is a service, not part of the product
They’re not paying for delivery, so they simply pay the product price.
✔ £11 is already a fair margin for two slices + personalisation
You don’t want to undercut yourself by dropping the price for collection.
✔ Keeps it aligned with your other bakery items
Your personalised brownies and cupcakes sit in the same pricing zone.
⭐ Final recommendation
Charge £11 for collection. Postage is an add‑on, not part of the product price — so the base price stays the same.

⭐ What the trio contains
-
3 cupcakes

Teacher‑themed finish

⭐ Pricing logic

Let’s use £2 each for clean maths:

Here’s the clean, confident pricing logic for your Teacher Gift Brownie — based on your bakery’s usual structure, your personalised wooden toppers, and the value of decorated brownies you already sell.
⭐ What the Teacher Gift Brownie Includes
-
A full fudgy Lane brownie
-
Colourful piping (extra labour + materials)
-
A personalised engraved wooden message
-
Gift‑ready presentation
This is a premium teacher gift — more than a standard brownie.
⭐ Pricing Logic
Your standard brownies usually sit around £4–£5 each
But this product has three added value layers:
1. Colourful piping
Adds labour + materials ≈ £1.00 value
2. Personalised wooden topper
This is a premium element Your wooden toppers normally sit around £2–£3 in value
3. Gift presentation
Ribbon / box / finishing ≈ £1.00 value
Total value calculation
Round to a clean, customer‑friendly number:
⭐ Recommended price: £10
This feels:
-
Premium but accessible
-
Consistent with your other teacher gifts
-
Correct for the labour involved
-
Easy for parents to say yes to
-
In line with your £11 cake cards
🎯 Final recommendation
Teacher Gift Brownie: £10
This sits perfectly between your £5 cupcake and £11 cake card, making the whole teacher range feel balanced and intentional.
If you want, I can also write:
-
a premium version of the brownie description
-
a short Shopify blurb
-

Ahh okay — a full brownie tray changes the pricing completely. Let’s work it out properly so you land on a confident, profitable number.
⭐ What the Teacher Gift Brownie Tray Includes
-
A full brownie tray (your usual slab size)
-
Colourful piping
-
A personalised engraved wooden message topper
-
Gift‑ready presentation
-
Higher ingredient cost + higher labour than a single brownie
This is a premium teacher gift — much more substantial than the £10 single‑brownie idea.
⭐ Pricing Logic for a Brownie Tray
Your standard brownie trays usually sit around £15–£18
(Depending on flavour + toppings.)
Now add the teacher‑gift elements:
1. Colourful piping
Extra labour + materials ≈ £2 value
2. Personalised wooden topper
Premium element ≈ £3–£4 value
3. Gift presentation
Ribbon / box / finishing ≈ £1.50 value
Total value calculation
Round to a clean, customer‑friendly number:
⭐ Recommended price: £22–£24
If you want a single number:
⭐ Charge £22
This feels:
-
Premium but still accessible for parents
-
Correct for the labour involved
-
Consistent with your teacher gift range
-
A strong margin for a personalised product
-
In line with your £18 cupcake trio and £11 cake card
🎯 Final recommendation
Teacher Gift Brownie Tray: £22

Absolutely — let’s finish your recipe lineup properly. You’ve already got Blondies, Brownies, and New York Cookies, which are perfect core sellers for digital recipes. They’re strong, recognisable, and people already love your versions.
But here’s the smart part: you don’t want too many recipes, but you do want a tight, irresistible collection that feels complete.
Below is a clear, strategic breakdown of what to include — and what to avoid.
⭐ Your Core Recipe Lineup (must‑haves)
These three are spot‑on:
-
Brownies — your top seller, already perfected, huge demand
-
Blondies — your signature fudgy blondie, people always ask how you get the texture
-
New York Cookies — trendy, high search volume, great for home bakers
This trio already gives you:
-
A bar recipe
-
A traybake recipe
-
A cookie recipe
Perfect balance.
⭐ Should you add anything else?
Here are the three best additions, based on your bakery, your audience, and what sells well online.
1. Cornflake Brownie
Your signature product. People beg for this recipe. It’s unique, it’s yours, and it will sell.
-
High perceived value
-
Not easily guessed
-
Perfect upsell from the standard brownie recipe
This is the strongest next addition.
2. Cookie Pie
You already sell these in the bakery. They’re popular, indulgent, and very “TikTok‑friendly.”
-
Easy for home bakers
-
High success rate
-
Great for gifting
-
Fits your brand perfectly
3. Banana Pudding
Your new product — and it’s already getting attention.
-
Trendy
-
Easy
-
People love “copycat” pudding recipes
-
Great for summer
⭐ What NOT to add (yet)
These would dilute the collection or be too niche:
-
Celebration cakes (too complex for home bakers)
-
Pastries (too technical)
-
Loaf cakes (low perceived value)
-
Cheesecakes (messy for beginners)
Keep the recipe shop premium and tight, not cluttered.
⭐ Final recommended recipe collection
Your website should launch with 5 recipes:
✔ Brownies
✔ Blondies
✔ New York Cookies
✔ Cornflake Brownie
✔ Cookie Pie
Then add Banana Pudding as your first “new drop.”
This gives you:
-
Variety
-
High value
-
Strong demand
-
A clean, premium recipe shop
If you want, I can also create:

Keeping it to Blondies, Brownies and New York Cookies is a perfect tight starter collection — clean, premium, and exactly what your audience wants. And yes… adding branded cake scrapers is a very smart move.
Here’s the breakdown so you can feel confident in the decision.
⭐ Your Recipe Shop (as it stands)
You’ve already got a strong trio:
-
Brownies
-
Blondies
-
New York Cookies
This gives you:
-
A bar
-
A traybake
-
A cookie
It’s balanced, recognisable, and easy for customers to understand.
⭐ Should you add branded cake scrapers?
Yes — and here’s why it’s a clever addition:
✔ Adds a physical product to a digital category
People who buy recipes often want tools too.
✔ Perfect for your brand
You’re known for clean piping, neat edges, and beautiful finishes — scrapers fit your aesthetic.
✔ Low labour, high margin
Once you have them made, they’re easy to sell and ship.
✔ Great upsell
“Want the tools Anna uses? Grab our branded scraper.”
✔ Helps build your baking identity
It positions The Lane as a place where people learn and buy tools.
⭐ What else could be added later (but not now)
If you want to expand in future, the next best additions would be:
-
Cornflake Brownie recipe
-
Cookie Pie recipe
-
Banana Pudding recipe
But keeping it simple for launch is the right move.
⭐ Final recommendation
Launch with:
✔ Blondies
✔ Brownies
✔ New York Cookies
✔ Branded Cake Scrapers (physical product)
This feels:
-
Clean
-
Premium
-
Easy to shop
-
Easy to manage
-
Perfect for your brand right now

Perfect, Anna — I’m ready to write your full Blondie recipe card in the same polished, PDF‑ready style as the brownie one.
Before I can do that, I need the photo of your blondie recipe so I can extract the exact measurements, method, and baker’s notes.
Just upload the image in your next message and I’ll turn it into a clean, professional recipe card.
Here’s your full Blondie recipe card, written in the same polished, PDF‑ready style as your brownie one — using the 1‑tin recipe you confirmed. I’ve structured it cleanly so you can drop it straight into Shopify or Canva.
⭐ The Lane Blondies – 1 Tin Recipe
Fresh, fudgy, golden blondies — your signature traybake, written clearly for home bakers and perfect for your recipe shop.
🍫 Ingredients (1 Tin)
-
300g white chocolate
-
270g cake margarine
-
300g caster sugar
-
400g plain flour
-
4 eggs
-
1½ tsp vanilla essence
-
1 tsp cornflour
🥣 Method
1. Melt the chocolate & margarine
Gently melt the white chocolate and cake margarine together until smooth. Let it cool slightly so it doesn’t scramble the eggs.
2. Whisk eggs & sugar
In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs and caster sugar until combined and slightly thickened.
3. Combine mixtures
Pour the melted chocolate mixture into the egg and sugar bowl. Whisk until fully blended.
4. Add dry ingredients
Add the plain flour, cornflour, and vanilla essence. Fold gently until the batter is smooth and even.
5. Weigh out your batter
You should have 1500g of blondie batter for one tin. Spread evenly into your lined tray.
6. Bake
Bake at 140°C (fan) for 22–24 minutes. Edges should be set, centre slightly soft — they firm up as they cool.
💡 Baker’s Notes
-
For extra fudginess, underbake by 1 minute.
-
For a firmer blondie, bake to the full 24 minutes.
-
Cool fully before slicing for clean edges.
-
Works beautifully with add‑ins like white choc chunks, Biscoff, or raspberry pieces.

300g caster sugar
-
400g plain flour
-
4 eggs

Short answer: your home‑oven temperature stays at 160°C fan, and your bake time becomes 24–28 minutes — not 22–24.
Here’s the clear breakdown so you feel confident writing this into your recipe card.
⭐ Commercial Oven → Home Oven Conversion (Blondies)
Your bakery blondies bake at:
-
140°C fan
-
22–24 minutes
-
In a commercial oven (strong fan, even heat, fast bake)
Home ovens behave differently:
-
Weaker fan
-
Less consistent heat
-
Hot spots
-
Slower bake
-
Less efficient heat recovery when the door opens
So even though the temperature increases, the bake time also increases.
⭐ Correct Home‑Oven Settings
Temperature:
160°C (fan) (This is the standard +20°C adjustment from commercial to domestic.)
Bake Time:
24–28 minutes
Why this is the correct range:
-
Commercial ovens bake faster even at lower temps
-
Home ovens need longer to set the centre
-
Blondies are thicker and denser than brownies
-
White chocolate slows the bake slightly
-
You want that soft centre without rawness
⭐ How it should be written in your recipe card
Bake at 160°C (fan) for 24–28 minutes
-
Check from 24 minutes
-
Edges should be set
-
Centre should have a gentle wobble
-
They firm up as they cool
⭐ If you want the polished PDF‑ready line:
Bake at 160°C (fan) for 24–28 minutes. Begin checking at 24 minutes — the edges should be set and the centre should still have a slight wobble.

Absolutely — here are clear, helpful, Lane‑style baking tips specifically for Blondies, written to match the tone of your brownie tips and perfect for your recipe card or website.
⭐ Blondie Baking Tips
-
Don’t over‑mix once the flour goes in Over‑mixing makes blondies tough instead of fudgy.
-
Use room‑temperature eggs They blend better with the melted chocolate mixture and help keep the batter smooth.
-
Let the chocolate mixture cool slightly If it’s too hot, it can scramble the eggs and affect the texture.
-
Bake until the edges are set The centre should still have a gentle wobble — blondies firm up as they cool.
-
Rotate your tray at the halfway point Home ovens have hot spots, and this keeps the bake even.

Absolutely — here are stuffed cookie Baker’s Tips, written in your warm Lane tone, super clear for home bakers, and perfect for your recipe cards or Shopify listings. These are the tips that actually make a difference when people bake stuffed cookies at home.
⭐ Stuffed Cookie Baker’s Tips
-
Chill your dough overnight Stuffed cookies spread more — chilling firms the butter and keeps them thick and chunky.
-
Freeze your filling Whether it’s chocolate, Biscoff or Nutella, freezing the filling helps it stay centred and molten rather than leaking out.
-
Weigh every dough ball Consistent weights = even baking. Your usual 120g stuffed cookie size is perfect.
-
Seal the dough properly Pinch the edges firmly so the filling doesn’t escape. Smooth the seam to avoid cracks.
-
Use a higher oven temperature Stuffed cookies need a hot oven to lift and set the edges while keeping the centre gooey.
-
Space them well Stuffed cookies spread more — leave 3 inches between each one.
-
Look for the shine Cookies are done when the tops lose their shine and the edges are set. The centre should still look soft.
-
Let them cool on the tray Stuffed cookies continue to set as they cool — moving them too early can cause breakage.
-
Tap the tray A gentle tap mid‑bake helps flatten the tops and create that signature crinkle.
