In Texas you do not have to pay sales tax on your items.

what insurance do you recommend for baking and for floristry? I am hoping to do both :)

I thought you had to ist your ingredients by most to least no matter what the ingredient is? Isn't that right?

I want to do a pop up shop, do I have to go through the inspection and then apply on the website and all that stuff before I start selling? And do I need a permit. I was planning to sell cookies. I am 17 so I am so new to all of this

I'm in San Francisco, and several years ago I looked at the application for home cottage and it asked the dimensions of the kitchen. My kitchen is super small...does that mean I will be disqualified?

Im just learning about Cottage law. So Cheese Flan wouldn't be a dessert I can sell from home?

I don't think there should be cats allowed to be walking on cabinets where there is baked goods or where they are being prepared.
