David replied to the topic Buttercream frosting in the forum Cake 10 years, 1 month ago
Buttercream frosting is almost always safe, but some states and health depts still don’t allow it. Usually this is because they prohibit all uncooked dairy products in cottage foods, even though butter is perfectly safe when left unrefrigerated. So in this instance, I’d say it’s not a matter of whether or not it is perishable, but rather that it…[Read more]

You should contact the ag dept about selling the teas and syrups… I don’t think you can sell them from your office. I believe you can only sell them at certain public markets and stores, so you might need to produce them in a commercial kitchen to sell them at your office.
I’m not familiar with the laws for selling deodorant, and you can try…[Read more]

“There are two “on” settings, one is “melt” and the other is “warm”, although they are not labeled (the furthest to the right is the higher of the settings).…

Hello, trying to start up a small business with cakes in a jar I have been doing for my family and friends. I know I cannot use any creams in the jars just shelf stable frostings? is this correct? also wanted to know if I’m allowed to make hard candy apples? Is fruit allowed such as an apple covered in hard candy?
Yes, you should be able to sell jarred cakes with shelf-stable frosting.
You can sell uncut fruit and you can sell hard candy, so I assume that if you combine the two, that would be allowed. If you cut the apple, it wouldn’t be allowed, and even putting a stick in it might be a problem. You can call the ag dept to check.
Please note that New…[Read more]

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?
