And DON'T bargain. Your price is your price. You decide what you're worth, not them.

Your cakes are beautiful - go for it!

Maybe look into the laws in your area/state too.

Hey - PM kelleym, the cake boss co-owner. The cake program is AWESOME and very cheap, start early with your customers/fees etc.

Best of luck! icon_smile.gif

How do you find out what the laws are for your state? Is there a website? I was just wondering because I'm thinking about starting to decorate cakes on the side (I already have another job as well). I have no idea how to get started. I've heard about the cake boss program and I will look into getting. However, I figured I needed to take some other steps before starting things up. Any suggestions? I live in Oregon for those that also live here and might know the laws/rules.

Michelle, check out this thread in the business forum!

You are very lucky -- Oregon is one of the states that DOES allow home bakeries. Contact your Department of Agriculture for regulations. icon_smile.gif
