Hello,

I live in a state where you cannot run a food related business out of our home kitchen. So, I have been thinking about taking the plunge and starting my own business. But, I have no idea where to even start. Can anyone who has a successful business help me with this?? THANKS!!!

Here's a good starting point: http://www.cakecentral.com/article57-US-Wanting-to-start-a-Cake-Decorating-Business-but-where-do-I-begin.html

Check the forums under starting a business and read, read, read. Have a good business plan with where you plan to be next year, in five years and in 10 years. And have at least three times the money you think you will need (it's amazing the stuff that creeps in there!) Good luck!! We're here for you!!
