    I am just starting up a cake business from my home. I only use buttercream frosting. Would I fall under the Cottage Food Law and if so what steps do I have to take to make it “legal” for me to sell my cakes? I am very new to this and very confused by all of the things I have read and I do not want to make any mistakes. Thank You

    You should call Heath at the ag dept at 804-786-1164, and he should be able to clear up most of your questions. You can probably make buttercream frosting, but I’m not sure about that, since sometimes depts disallow it. I don’t think you need any licensing from the ag dept, but you still need to call your local authorities to determine if you need a business license or other local permits. I know it can be really confusing at first, but you just need to call govt officials to get definite answers.
