David replied to the topic Making doughnuts in CO in the forum Colorado 9 years, 1 month ago
CO’s health dept has chosen not to include donuts on their allowed list, which means they’re probably not allowed unless they’re baked donuts. I don’t think jam, jelly, or frosting would be an issue… I believe that anything fried would not be allowed. http://forrager.com/faq/#commercial

Hi everyone! Is anyone struggling to get the buzz out to find more customers? What do you find most challenging in marketing your goods?

Katherine, I also recommend thoroughly reading the Colorado law page, but the short answer is “no”, you do not need a license from the health dept, though you may need other licenses to start your business. http://forrager.com/faq/#starting

I just recently moved to Arvada, CO, do I need to get a cottage food license to sell cakes? I am so lost on where to start.

If I use cake flour in a recipe, do I just need to list “Cake Flour” or do I need to list the ingredients that are IN cake flour, that they have listed on the cake flour box; WHEAT FLOUR BLEACHED, NIACIN, IRON, THIAMIN MONONITRATE, RIBOFLAVIN, FOLIC ACID

CO just amended their law and is unlikely to follow suit anytime soon. It sounds like you will need to build a commercial kitchen, either on your property or elsewhere.

I think getting noticed is hard for any new business. Something that I struggle with is talking up my product at every spare moment, with whomever I meet, and doing so in a way that comes off as authentic and not awkward. Have you found some of your marketing efforts to be successful?
