Cake Decorating Community - Cakes We Bake

Hello,
Can you shed any light on whether I can be permitted to bake goods in my home for wholesale distribution in Florida? From randomly searching online, I have seen that in some cases if I have a separate living quarter this could possibly be allowable.
I would consider making the investment as opposed to paying a commisary.

Do you know what the requirements are? Does it have to have a separate door entrance and have commercial cooking equipment in it?

Any information you can provide would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Patrice,

 

I have been working on getting the Cottage Food Act implemented in Florida.  We have a bill being introduced this coming Tuesday.  I just posted the below information today.

 

Hello Everyone,
 
I am please to tell you that the Florida House of Representatives have created the Florida Cottage Food Act as a bill.  This bill will be heard on Tuesday and then it goes to the next committee, than the senate and finally the Govenor.  I attached the actual bill for you to read.  The actual bill is on page 15 item 415.  I reviewed a copy of this bill last week but was not able to say anything.  Today Teddi Creamer called me to tell me the location of the bill and said it is now public.  You can follow the action being taken on this bill on the house of representatives website.  http://www.myfloridahouse.gov/default.aspx Go to Committees than to Business and Consumer Affairs, on the right hand side go to proposed committe bills (PBC) there you will find the bill that I attached.  On this page is where you can watch as the bill progresses. 
 
We all need to email the State Senate to let them know how important it is that they pass this bill, once they pass it than it will go to the govenor. 
 
Thank you to everyone that has helped and supported me to get this action going.  I am so happy I emailed the Speaker of the House because he was the one to help us make this happen. 
 
Hang in there everyone, Florida will soon be the next state with The Cottage Food Act.
