Hi,
I'm looking into options for renting a commercial kitchen (in NYC area). I was wondering, in terms of operating a legal business, if every single aspect of the cake from start to delivery needs to be done within that rented kitchen or can you, for example, make fondant figures at home, do the final decorating at home? I had assumed you would have to do it all within the rented kitchen but I recently read an article about a baker in NY area who bakes everything out of a commercial kitchen but then decorates the cakes out of their home. Anyone have any info on this? I'm just trying to wrap my brain around making a profit when it takes me sometimes 3 hours just to make one really detailed fondant figure (which would be at minimum $75 of kitchen rental time taken up by that one figure). Thanks
