What should a baker's receipt show?
A baking receipt confirms the customer paid and records the order, such as a wedding cake, a tasting, and delivery. List the cake or order, the servings, any consultation, and setup, then show the event date, the total paid, and the method. Customers keep it as confirmation that a special order is settled.

How the work is charged
Bakers usually price a custom cake by servings and design, with consultation and delivery added on, often taking a deposit to hold the date. A receipt shows the deposit and balance as paid.
Payment terms and deposits
A receipt is given once the balance is settled, usually before the event. It records the deposit and final payment, the dates, and the method, with a copy kept and one given to the customer.
Tax and compliance
If you are registered for sales tax or VAT, show it as a separate line with your registration number so the receipt matches the original order. Food can be taxed differently, so confirm what applies to you.
