I understand that as a cottage baker I can only bake in MY home kitchen, but does that also mean that I CANNOT bake out of a commercial kitchen with the cottage food certificate and sell my products directly to my customers.

That’s exactly what it means. There is an intentional limitation created by restricting volume to that which can be made in one’s own kitchen even though home kitchens are not all equal and people get really creative.

To sell goods from a commercial kitchen, you need a commercial license. You can’t make goods outside your home and sell them legally under a cottage license.
