i love to bake...it's something my grandmother and i did every time she came to visit. The majority of my baking is from scratch but there are times when i will use a mix - though mainly as an ingredient.
A few years ago i thought about starting up a specialty cake business. But after talking with a client about her take & bake meals business (sold at farmers markets and via email orders) i changed my mind. She told me that she had to have an inspected commercial kitchen and since she did not have one of her own she rented the kitchen from a local church. It would take up more of my time than it was worth to continuously haul supplies, etc back & forth.
i've heard of some ladies in my area who will do custom cakes (from their homes) via word-of-mouth but my work schedule will not allow me enough flexability.
But for anyone who is able i say go for it!
