About this item
Home-based baking is one of America's best-kept business secrets. This sleeper industry offers even novice bakers the opportunity to bake from home for profit using tried and true recipes and equipment already on hand. And yet its many rules and how-tos are so elusive that few people out there who love to bake and dream of taking their products from the kitchen to the market actually end up doing so. Enter How to Start a Home-Based Bakery Business -- the first book to cover every essential aspect of planning, starting, and running such a business successfully.
About the Author
Detra Denay Davis is a native Michigander who worked as a professional baker, caterer, personal chef, and Cottage Food Operator. Detra believes some of the best recipes are created in home and church kitchens by men and women who took a serious leap of faith to create exceptional signature foods. Creating unique recipes is an art that should not be taken for granted. Food entrepreneurs are common across the globe but have recently come to the forefront here in the United States. Years ago government rules and regulations prevented foods made in the home kitchen from being sold to the public. Today the upsurge of state Cottage Food Laws allows culinary creatives the opportunity to take their product from kitchen to market. How to Start a Home-based Bakery Business is Detra's first book, sharing what home-based bakers need to know about selling directly to the consumer. The Charlotte Pie Authority Cookbook includes the pie recipes Detra sold as a cottage food operator in North Carolina.
