There are a couple of things that you need to do first. You need to see if your state or county will allow a home-based food business. You can check on cakecentral.com in the forums under cake business to see if they do. Then you have to go through a lot of red tape. However, I still suggest doing this, because you can get a hefty fine if you are caught selling food out of your home. <br /><br />The process has paid off for me. I have only been doing my business for a couple of months and I have kept plenty busy. You can check out my website www.tiptopcakeshoppe.com<br />I would love to answer any questions you might have about getting set up. <br /><br />In other words, I think you should seriously consider it.<br /><br />JacindaThe Britton Clanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14040459627051875896noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7534899535780442639.post-50889705834532431962010-01-30T09:40:56.851-08:002010-01-30T09:40:56.851-08:00I want 10% for this name which is going to take yo...I want 10% for this name which is going to take you to the top: JESSICAKES.<br /><br />I will be unalterably offended if you don't use it.Randihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08078564227006506917noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7534899535780442639.post-53540899732754375002010-01-30T08:00:04.222-08:002010-01-30T08:00:04.222-08:00Jessica, I think it sounds like a great thing for ...Jessica, I think it sounds like a great thing for you to do.

Here are some tips, being an entrepreneur is not easy, watching from the side lines has taught me a few things. Do a business plan...even a simple one. Keep overhead down, and start small, use your network, social media works, and realize it will not grow overnight. It may take a year to see progress and growth.

This has always been a dream of mine too. My question has always been, 'when will it be the season'. Maybe this is your time if you're giving it serious thought! While my husband was in business school I was the dessert chef at a sorority in Ithaca, NY. I made dessert for 50 girls a couple times a week and for special events. I also made monthly birthday cakes for another sorority. It was really fun and gave me a little taste of what it might take to do something like that regularly. <br /><br />If you think you can make time for it without going crazy, then GO FOR IT!! I wish you the best...and i can't wait to read about it.Camdenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03452650137468228632noreply@blogger.com
