What is an Invoice?

An invoice, or also called a bill, or a tab, is a document issued by a seller to a buyer from a sales transaction that indicates the quantities and prices of products or services that the buyer has bought from the seller. It also indicates the payment terms that the seller has for the buyer.

Details to Include in a Cake Invoice Template

For every business transaction you do with a customer, it is a good practice to make an invoice since this helps you and the customer avoid any form of issues or disagreements regarding the transaction. Make sure to write each of your invoices in the same manner below:

1. Create an Invoice Header

First, create the header of your invoice in which you will place it at the top of your invoice. It must include information such as the name of your cake bakery business, the address of your business, your phone number, and your email address. If you have a business logo, don’t forget to include it in the header. Having the header is important to identify your business and help your customers reach you easily.

2. Put Your Client’s Contact Details

For the rest of the invoice content, include your client’s contact details first. List their name, address, and phone number. Make sure you have their accurate information and check to see if you’ve got the right spelling of their details.

3. Include the Invoice Information

Don’t forget to include a unique invoice number in every invoice you issue to help you keep track of each different invoice. This will help you greatly in bookkeeping and recordkeeping purposes. To number your invoice well is to start your first invoice from number 1 and count up from there. Don’t forget to include the date that the invoice was issued to help you keep track of the invoice much more easily.

Below this is where you include an itemized list of the products or services you charge your customer for. Make a table with columns that include the following information:

• The cake products or baking services bought by the customer
• Date of when the transaction is made
• The number of cakes/number of hours that the service took to complete
• Rate of each product or service
• Subtotal of everything (including the tax and discounts)

4. Specify Your Payment Terms

Don’t forget to include the payment terms where it must specify when and how you expect your customers to pay you. Include an invoice due date and information about the payment methods you accept (whether it be cash, credit card, check, PayPal, etc.). Discuss this with your customer first before you issue the invoice so they will know when and how to pay you.

6. List Applicable Taxes

Taxes on commercial products may work differently in whatever location you’re doing business and the type of business you have as well. Do some research through your local tax bureau to know how much tax should you charge your clients. Although this might not be necessary, you can add a note at the end of your invoice that includes a friendly thank-you message for your client to show common courtesy.
