Just wondering if anyone knows what the law/regulation is in Texas on whether or not I need to have an ingredient label on the cakes I bake, or other sweet items? So far they are on a pre-order basis, but I hope to have off-the shelf items soon.

Thanks for any help you might be able to give.

I don't know cause I'm not in Texas. if you are doing this out of your home, I will warn you it's illegal.

Your department of agriculture or health department would know for sure.

There is a sticky at the top of this forum that lists the states that allow home bakeries. It may have who to call for your state.

No, it's not out of my house. I know that's illegal. ) I have a friend with a consignment shop and she's letting me use the kitchen there. We've been working for a few weeks now to get it certified.

I will try to get a hold of the health dept then...

Thanks!

Not sure but if you need any labels know let me know. I design packaging labels and business logos. Now this makes me want to check my own state because people I know have home bakeries...I never thought of it as illegal!

If I sell cut cake and put it in packaging, I have to put an ingredient listing on the package. I wish I knew what to put on it, as I use a commericial cake base to prolong the life of the cake, (and it taste wonderful) Do I have to list all the ingredients in it with the sugar and flour?
I have stayed away from the packaged cake slices because of this...(for reason you don't have to do it with custom cakes or cupcakes in our state)

Oh I see what you mean. I thought you meant just making custom cakes and selling them.
