Hey all my Wisconsin bakers. 
We are trying to get Wisconsin to pass the Food Cottage Law so we can bake and sell out of our homes (like over half of the states can already do).
Please follow this link to sign the petition (send it to friends and family members that live here too). We are at 398 and it would be great to get close to 1,000 votes! Lets keep passing it along, we only have just over a month left!!!!!

Let's get Wisconsin on the right track and give us small (really small) bakeries the ability to bake from home so we can work our way up to a store someday!
Oh yeah ... I also wrote and email to Rep. Janis Ringhand who I guess is the person that was approached about this law and told her my story. I got a response back from Maggie Gau from the office of Rep. Janis Ringhand ... here is what she said:
"Mandy,
Thank you for contacting our office.
I appreciate you sharing your personal experience with us. That is exactly why we are working on cottage food legislation that would allow small businesses like yours to grow in Wisconsin. Since the Legislature will not be back in session until January 2013 we are currently working on putting the finishing touches on our legislation. If youd like, I can forward you a copy as soon as its completed.
Thanks again for your email and we will be in touch!
Maggie"
If anyone feels the need to contact her or Rep. Janis Ringhand and tell them your story, here are their email address.
