So I read the "has anyone gotten busted" thread about doing cakes without a licensed, approved kitchen and all the horror stories about what is apparently our American KGB. I'm just a novice hobbyist who has fallen in love with cake decorating and CC--and proceeded to spend a sizeable amount of money on supplies--who would like to sell a cake here and there to help support my "habit". Now I don't know what to do. All but one of my cakes have been gifts, but frankly this can get very expensive! Sure I could just decorate dummy cakes then peel it off and throw it in the garbage, but most of the fun is the joy the finished product brings to others. Word is spreading that I do nice work, and opportunities to do a paid cake once in a while will come my way. I don't want to "go into business". Is there not some way to do this?

I know just where you're coming from so I offer you this as a possiblity- intern or look for work with a little bakery in your area.

How about teaching?

I feel exactly the same way. I read the same post last night & my best friend & I who were attempting to start a cookie business saw our dreams burst as we were reading it. icon_cry.gif

Stay under the radar===family and friends/co-workers only. Anything else is potential trouble.
