So, I'm new to this site, but not new to baking. I've been cooking and baking since I was 7 (started with my grandma), and recently decided to start selling my baked goods. I haven't had any classes or anything but sold my first decorated cake this weekend. I was really worried that it wasn't going to turn out well just because I've been teaching myself, but I am so proud of it that I wanted to share! It totally gave me the confidence I needed to continue to pursue this dream of mine!
I would like to take classes and get more professional in the future, but being a homeschooling, SAHM with two kids, I just don't have the time or money to do so yet.
Hey, that's lovely! I also never took classes. It takes more time teaching yourself...but hey...so what? Not sure where you are, but make sure you get a license to sell cakes before you get yourself in trouble:/
Thank you both! I'll definitely check those out.
I've been looking into the laws here in my state and because of what I'm offering, I'm covered under our Cottage Food Law. So I'm good for now. I do plan on getting a license in the near future, though. Thank you!
Just so you know, the above cake you did can technically get you into copyright trouble... doesn't matter if you are cottage food or licensed... You need permission from Disney for those things... Keep it in mind for future reference when doing anything trademarked or copyrighted...
Just want to second Craftsy as an option. They ALWAYS have sales on their classes (you can get most for 19.99) and the teachers have been really good. Great to hone in on specific skills.
Wonderful cake Sweetcees!

You are welcome sweetcees... I just wasn't sure if you were aware...
I do applaud those who are good with the star tip like that though... I hate doing it...
