AIf you want to sell cakes from your home then you need some sort of food certification course, contact your local health department/cottage food and see if you can do it legally from home and much more. You have to pay taxes, get insurance, I could go on and on.

Something that took me a while to even realize: Disney, Pixar, etc. you need permission to recreate other people's characters for profit.

Unfortunately, it's not that simple to just decide to start selling cakes from home. There are LOTS of forums on here about getting started but you should make sure it's legal first.

Awhat your serious iv never heard about that here i know alot of ppl that sell their cakes from home...this is the 1st time i hear about this

AOP, I see that you're from Texas. You do have Cottage Food Law. Research on that, contact your Dept. of Health. And while you're at it, research pricing and copyright laws too.

AI'm in Houston and operate under the cottage food law. If you google "Texas cottage food law" there's a LOVELY website what details all that's involved. I would encourage you to establish a business plan and treat this like a business. It's not just bake a cake and sell.(not that you thought that)
