A quick update....
Thank you to all of you who have been so supportive of my dream to start my own online bakery business. At first I was very hesitant about pursuing it. After some encouragement I got all pumped up about giving it a whirl. Even registered my domain name batch from heaven last week (I wanted to feel like I took a step in the direction of my goal). Needless to say I jumped the gun a bit. After some research I discovered that Wisconsin law states that in order to sell bakery, it must be produced in a commercial kitchen. Clearly, I do not have a commercial kitchen in my home. Sadness. Sooooo....bakery as a "business" has been shelved for the time being.
Many of you know that Casey and I have a dream of opening a restaurant. If and when that day comes guess what we will be serving for dessert? You got it, my bakery. At that time I would also be able to do the online business if I still wanted to. Even though my whole thing is comfort food type bakery, I may just take a cake designing class and use this time to learn some basic skills to make my bakery a bit more "fancy". I will not be advertising a "business" per se - however if someone out there has a need for a carrot cake, lemon bars, cookies etc., we can certainly talk. I don't see anything wrong with accepting a "donation" for now. My bubble was burst big time earlier this week - but I'm over it. I am going to use this time to broaden my baking skills. I will not be defeated!
