Kentucky Now Has A Home Baking Cottage Food Law!

If you haven't yet her, the Governor of Kentucky signed into law HB263 the Kentucky Home Bakers Act.
Now KY bakers can make and sell cakes, cookies, candies, etc. out of their home, at events, etc. No fees or home inspections are required either.
Not sure yet the date the law actually goes into effect (heard possibly July 1, 2018) but it's a great day for KY's talented home bakers!!
a great day for home bakers -- a bad day for current bakeries
I guess it depends on where you are in KY....but in this area bakeries are few and far between...most Walmart or grocery delis which do basic cakes...and not a very good job at that. There's plenty of room for custom bakers who can deliver what the local deli-bakery can't.
I hope it works well for all -- although the scale is definitely tipped away from bakeries, surely there are a few left -- hope the home bakers all set their prices to succeed -- that hasn't gone well in other states -- and it is typically not the mind set of enough of the home bakers so it could get crazy -- united we stand -- divided we charge what we spent on the cake ingredients -- you know how that goes --
best to you, jeff -- I have always admired your work and advice
