Is all you make cream pies, or do you do custom cakes as well? Cookies? Desserts? I am on the other side of the river from you, by the airport.

I would rather make 1 cake for $150, than 3 for $50 each.

The person who works for nothing will always have plenty to do!

My sarcasm is good-humored. People generally really like me, in person ;-) 

Licensed, inspected, insured, home-based commercial...

We qualify for a "ohio" Cottage Food Production Operation" Do we have to be lienced? And is it in stone "no Pets?"

Cottage food operations do not have licenses... You are legally allowed to have a pet under the regulations as well... You cannot make anything that requires a fridge though... All goods should also be labeled as made in a home kitchen...

 

There is a home licensed kitchen that allows you to make food that requires a fridge... you are not allowed to have pets... your kitchen must pass an inspection... and there is a $10 fee to the department of agriculture...

 

That is based on state laws... each county has their own regulations that may vary...

I have a question regarding labeling. If I do only custom cakes, cupcakes and cookies for orders should I label those as well?

Check with the department of agriculture and your local health department to be sure...

Does anyone have a sample label for a decorated cake they would be willing to share?  I am just so confused on how to list the ingredients.  Especially for fondant covered cakes.  Thank you!!
