I have been offered a chance to bake and make my cakes at a local pre-school kitchen. It's in California. Will it be possible to get a license using that kitchen? If so where do I start. I have scoured the health dept web pages and I'm lost.
Thanks in advance!
Go to your local heath department they should be able to help.

If you can't find someone on the phone, go to the school during business hours and speak with the facilities manager or the person responsible for the kitchen, ask to see the inspection certificate. If they have a certificate, you will probably still need to get a certificate for yourself for that kitchen (contact your county health dept for more details). If they don't have a certificate, then the school may need to make significant improvements (which they probably won't be willing to do) to bring it up to code.
Don't forget to take out liability insurance for yourself before you start selling anything.
Mareg,
Since it appears you might be possibly renting this kitchen facility, here is a link to a checklist that will provide you with some questions you'll want to ask. Here's the link:
