Opening a bakery? I need some advice?

I would love to open a bakery! And I would like to know about how much money I would need. I'm new to the small business thing so I need some advice. I would like to know how often you have to buy ingredients, how long it will take before people start coming in, how long it will take for me to start getting my money back, and any other advice you people out there have about opening small businesses. Please try to answer all my questions if you can.

I will choose your answer as best if it answers all my questions and explains the answers. Thanks if you can help.
