This sounded too good for me to pass up.

$250/month for 12 hours per week. If I need more time it's $15/hour. The place is AWESOME, in Winter Park Florida. The place is only used by 6 people who share it and everyone makes something different (candy, granola, biscotte, salsa, hummus and me -- cakes and cookies).

I can't believe I found one. Been looking for months and months. Finally my tactic was just to tell everyone I met, saw, talked to over the phone that I was looking to rent a commercial kitchen. Last week I met someone and they said "you need a commercial kitchen" then I said "yeah, right (sarcastically), do you know where I can find one?" THAT'S THE COMMENT THAT HOOKED ME UP.

I am soooo excited. Now I need to get my safe food handling certificate and get my licenses, insurance.

Scheff Bakes - (pronounced "chef"), my last name worked incredibly well for this.

Any other advice?

That's great! I am looking in our area. The best I can find is actually about $200/month for 10 hours/month. Not very good when it takes a few days to put a big wedding cake together. Happy Baking!!!
