    If you are looking at charging money for the cakes, don't forget to register for tax.
    HMRC will be in your phone book, it has to be done within a time limit of starting 3 months, i think :confused:
    Even if you don't expect to make any or much profit, you should register as no doubt some kind neighbour or competitor will bubble you to HMRC.

    An aunt of mine did a lot of sugarcraft work including spectacular wedding cakes. She used to deliver those to the reception venue, then she knew they had arrived safely. As previously mentioned, check all insurances cover self employment.

  • A few years ago I watched a programme where people tried to raise 2K in a month or whatever. 1 woman took to making christmas cakes and made a fair bit. That would not involve any fancy decorating and would be topical to get you of the ground and I believe they sold like the proverbial!!!
