You can't post on many pages with your actual 'page' account, it has to be your personal profile. You would need to post with your personal account (or set up a new profile account under the business name) and then add a link back to your business page.

Facebook is a great way to advertise. People saying they wouldn't look on Facebook for sweets don't know what kind of sweet business you are doing. I presume you are going to attend local fairs and events selling these? Then Facebook is a great place to network with other stall holders and customers. I use Facebook for 3 businesses and the charity I work for and it's the best way to publicise.

Shopaholic - I learnt the other day that if you go to top right of your page there is a cog. Click on this and you are given the option to 'use facebook as' and you can pick which profile. You can then post as your business page.
This means you may have to join your local selling page as your business page too, if they allow it.
Also - be aware that a lot of selling pages will only allow you to post on certain days.
A friend hooked me up to a social media group where I have learnt lots about how to better utilise fb and twitter. Have a look for one.
