With
the economic downturn in UK and subsequent freeze in salaries, many
people are starting part-time businesses as a way to make more money.
Cake business is very popular because anyone can start a cake
business. The start-up cost is low and you can bake your cake in your
kitchen at home.
Before
you start, contact your local
council as most UK councils will require that you register your
kitchen. The good news is that registration of your kitchen is
usually free and the council is obliged to accept your application.
You will also need to take a course
in food hygiene which can be done over the internet at your own
pace. These course cost around £18 and is reasonably easy. It is
also advisable to get the relevant public liability insurance.
Decide
on a few good tasty recipes which you can test out on friends and
family members. Do consider taking cake baking and/or decorating
courses to improve the quality of your cakes.Work out how much it
will cost to make the cakes (including cost of ingredients, utilities
etc) and how much you can realistically charge for them. Try selling
your cakes in car boot sales, local fairs or your local farmers
markets initially to confirm that people will buy your cakes. Always
keep a record of your suppliers as well as your purchase and sales
receipts to enable you determine the tax payable to the government.

you are ready to start the cake business formally, you can register
