Have you ever done any advertising at these? (called swap meets also)

It's likely that you can find customers anywhere. But think what kind of customers do you really want?

Rather than swap meets, I would look for community festivals or arts & crafts fairs. Those have been very successful for my album making business, and I would think they would be better exposure for a cake business, too. Most are relatively inexpensive, and they attract a different clientelle than swap meets. icon_smile.gif

In my observations people go to flea markets to get a real bargain. Do you want to sell your cakes for a real bargain? Probably not. icon_lol.gif
i would try to get in craft and holiday fairs as a previous posters. You can also go the donating route with churches and schools.

Good Luck,
