You need to know If it is legal to sell baked goods from home in CT. If not, renting space or building a separate kitchen may be your only options for a legal business.

Not all churches have inspected, licensed kitchens, so you just have to ask them if they rent them out.

Some cafes/restaurants that are only open for breakfast/lunch may also agree to rent space.

As to price, it depends on how much time it takes to bake and decorate the cakes. A price per day, week or month would be safer. You may not be able to tell how many hours it will take you and it could be very cost prohibitive.

Opening a "school" doesn't change the licensing requirement for selling baked goods to the public. CT may still require you to use a licensed kitchen.
