I am wanting to bake cakes at home. I love it and friends are beggining to notice my work. I am afraid to start selling cakes because I don't know the regulations here in New Mexico. So, right now, I give away alot of "practice" cakes.
Anyway, I am not sure if I can just get a business license and have someone come inspect my home or what?
Thanks for your help! |

I am new to the baking seen since May 05. Like you I have been making at least 1 - 2 cakes a week and need to get information about getting the correct regulations in New Mexico. Currently I have been giving or telling folks to atleast pay for supplies. A lot of my cakes have been practice but they been a big hit in the office.
If you should find any information, please pass along. I would really be gratefull. |

The only way to have a legal cake business in New Mexico is to use a commercial kitchen. If you want one in your home, it must be completely separate from your own kitchen with a door that can close. No personal cooking or baking can take place in the commercial kitchen. I believe there must also be a bathroom, but I can't remember for sure on that part. Your kitchen must meet the food preparation guidelines of the state and be inspected by the state. For more information, you can contact the state environmental department (of all the weird places!). They should have a field office in each county. Basically, the state of New Mexico has made it very difficult for a small cake business to operate. You have to either build or rent a commercial kitchen. |
