OK, I'm at the shop and found the book...it's
"How to open a Financially Successful BAKERY"
written by Sharon L. Fuller and Douglas R. Brown
it comes with a companion CD-ROM with a pre-written, editable business plan and financial statements in Microsoft word format.
It is published by

I hope this helps!
What do you think about the book...does it seem good?
It's quite informative, even though it's geared to a larger retail bakery, but like everything you take what you need from it and discard the rest. I am still reading it during down time at the shop.
Using it like a study guide.
Does that answer your question?
BTW..the book I got from Amazon.com and it wasn't too expensive and I like the fact it comes with a cd rom of forms too! along with that editable business plan.
Thanks for the info!
I have been waiting to open my own bakery instead of being a home baker but just wasn't quite sure how to do it.
I've been wanting to do the whole bakery thing too, but didn't know where to start with a business plan. Thanks SO much!!! 
I still go back and forth about having a bakery/coffee shop or open a home bakery. I'd have less overhead with the home thing, but lots of headache putting in a commercial kitchen at home. And, sometimes you just need to get away from work! But, at home, I could work when I wanted/needed to, whether it's 3 in the morning or just taking a hooky day. It's kinda hard to play hooky when you have a store front. Well, lotsa praying to do still, but I'll get this book and definitely be one step closer!
thanks for the book info!! I've been attempting to work on my business plan for the past couplde months and just not getting anywhere w/it!
