Hi

I am in the UK. I particularly love cooking, particularly baking, and after some wonderful comments about a recent cake I made for a family birthday, I am considering taking orders to make cakes. Several of my colleagues have suggested this.

I am good at following a recipe, and am confident that the quality of my cake is consistent each time I make it, But I don't know if I am skilled enough.

The most advanced I have gotten yet is making sugar paste flowers. Is it just a case of practise as much as I can?

Can anyone help with the legalities of it all and other stuff that don't really matter when you make a cake for yourself, in the UK?

Thanks for any help

I don't live in the UK but there are many here who do and may be able to answer your questions. Read through the posts here and you will learn plenty about the cake decorating business as a whole.

Welcome to the forum.

Although this thread is specific to the USA, the basic concepts will be the same anywhere in the world. The actual "baking/decorating" part comes last. The hard, no-fun business stuff comes first.

OK. Thanks for for your help.

Hi Kaitlyn-W. Just in case you don't know about it, there's a thread for UK bakers. It's very long, though, since people ask all kinds of things in that one thread sometimes.

Here's the link.
