ACheck out the "Starting a Business" and "Pricing Formula" links in my signature below.

If you do end up starting a business be sure all your written business communications (customer emails, web site content, advertising copy, etc.) are handled in a professional manner with correct grammar and spelling.

AAnd punctuation.

APhew! That was one LONG sentence. Hehehe. To tackle some of your points:

Find out if it's legal for you to have a baking business in the setting you have chosen to produce your cakes.

Store-bought fondant is not cheating. If you can afford to integrate it into your costs without your profit margin suffering, why not?

Jason Kraft has several links in his signature that you should check out. Read the posts in the entire blog. There are only a handful for now but each one will help you.

The choice of a page or website is entirely up to you and your goals for the business. The marketing section of your business plan will deal with this. Hint: Create a business plan.

Thank you, sorry about the long sentence. Above all can I start one from home cause we are active duty I know many who do also but is it possible to begin now with a simple fb page I see many have but just to be on the safe side should i register it? ect.. I made 3 cakes so far and I am getting there I just want to get it started and make a couple before anything of course.:)
