Wow, beautiful space! I hope you don't mind a couple or more questions...is this in a garage or basement? What size space?...I like how the baking/kitchen area is seperated from the decorating area.

I converted my two car garage into the bakery. I kept a wall to seperate the prep and baking space from the decorating space. It's 572 square feet. Plenty of space for production work, but when I do eventually move out to a seperate retail spot, I will want more space for the customer pick up area and displays.

To be honest, I have had 3 different experiences with home based cake businesses! The first, I ran out of a 3rd floor appartment, no inspections, no permits, but was very low key. The second was from my home kitchen in a residential area and I only did deliveries, so the health inspector passed me, plus I registered with the town and paid taxes and had no annual inspections to deal with. Finally, the third, is at the location I'm at now, and it's fully legal with town specifications, permits and twice a year inspections. I'm able to advertise now without any issues. The permit process only took about a month, including a Food Safety Certificate class.

It took awhile for it to load, but I just left the window open and did other things ... came back to it and they were there. Probably because all of us are trying to get in there all at once! icon_lol.gif

Your space looks great! Lots of walking around space too! Looks like you're one of the fortunate states that allows a standard home stove? Lucky you!

I think the problem may have been popups for me. But I am not sure. I just know my computer says it is blocking 4 popus from your site. ??
