Hey Amber! You say you’re a beginner at cake decorating, and that’s fine, but how keen are you on business aspects… bookkeeping, marketing, taxes, etc? If you’re just starting out, your best bet might be to find a job decorating cakes. You can increase your decorating talents while you learn more about how to run a business. Also, if having your own business is your ultimate goal, you should contact your local health department to find out what your options are legally for selling cakes. Some states have “cottage food laws” that will allow you to sell right out of your house; other states require you to build (or rent time in) a licensed commercial kitchen.
I know this is not a “fun” answer, but neither is getting in trouble with your local government. Keep asking those questions though, we are all here to share and learn!
