    hi only problem with selling food produces is i suppose health and safety, you also need a double sink, does sound good though. you could probably get away with it at carboots, church fairs, craft stalls etc. ive made jam and cakes before and sold at an old car fair my father in law organaized, its surprising just how much people wil pay for proper hm stuff. i also make bridal tiaras, i have stopped at mo as im 8mths preg with 4th so dont have time, but i was doing really well. i was mainly selling on ebay and getting private orders aswell, through word of mouth, only thing is ebay is getting so competative and prices so cheap it was getting harder and harder to make much profit. after the baby i will continue to make them but hopefully approach some bridal shops. there are loads of ideas of things to make and people seem to love anything homemade, even if you make your own b day and xmas presents your still be saving money.

    Hi moanymoany,

    I've added this thread to your other thread on making money from selling old style things as it helps to keep all the replies together.

    These threads may help too:

    Cake making for money

    Ways of making extra money

    It may be worth having a look on the Up Your Income board to see if you can get some more ideas there.
