There can be 14 in a bakers dozen, tracing its origins back to England since the reign of Henry II, a bakers dozen was just a way to ensure compliance with weight regulation to avoid fine or punishment by adding an extra roll, bun, etc or two. In more modern times, if you order certain items from a bakery, specifically doughnuts, a bakers dozen is 14 as to accommodate the box size (13 would be a weird fit)
