Hiya! :)
First, you have to complete and pass Level 2 Food Safety for Catering. You can do this online or maybe on your local learning centre. Ive done mine here …www.highspeedtraining.co.uk.
2nd – Ring or email your local Environmental Health Authority and let them know that you you’re planning to start a Cake business from home. They will then schedule you for an inspection. After this you will get a Rating certificate which (by law) you have to display. But since its a home business, I just placed it on my kitchen/dining. My customers can see it when they pick up their orders. Plus, display it on your web page, Facebook page.
3rd – Visit HMRC website for details on listing yourself as self employed, /home business. All the details are there how to start and how to list. http://www.hmrc.gov.uk/startingup/index.htm
Very best of luck!!
Kind regards,
Ivy
