Final packaging choice. Application submitted yesterday evening. Should hear back within two weeks. AAAAGGHHH. |
Awesome!
|
If you didn't get accepted to the market, where would you sell them?
It looks like you're doing retail packaging. Could you could sell wholesale to cafes/coffeeshops? Are they prepared in a commercial / health-inspected kitchen? (In FL, does anyone care?) |
There are several markets in the area -- the application I submitted last night is to the one closest to home, which is also one of the most popular. I have a back up market in mind if I don't get accepted to this first one.
I'm making them at home under Florida's cottage food law. I'm not allowed to wholesale them. :( Or to ship them, for that matter. Over time, if I do well, I'm hoping to eventually rent space in a commercial kitchen so I can expand. For now, it's a creative outlet that will hopefully bring in a bit of cash. |
This is so awesome Chocolatl! I wish you the best of luck, they are looking scrumptious!

Should be hearing back from my first choice market in the next ten days. The wait is kiiiilllliiiing meeeee.
I'm between two options for my back up choice. There's a Saturday market which seems to focus more on arts and crafts, and a Sunday market which focuses on food. I think I'm going to go for the Sunday market. I'll be getting their application tomorrow. In the meantime, all my business taxes are paid so I am officially open for business! I had my first sale last week -- a friend ordered 20 for her family reunion. :) |
From the first choice: "You are currently on the list of vendors to be approved for this market for this season..."

Congratulations!

WTG~!
I hope you sell out early and often. |
YEAH!!!
|
Great news! I hope they sell out quickly.
|
You can not *sell* by mail.. however, nothing is stopping you from mailing out "gifts" to friends. Also, nothing is stopping your friends from donating you your start up costs either.. hint hint

Aww, thanks guys! But there's also the very real fact that they would not withstand the heat from shipping -- creamy fillings and 95F yield a gooey and yucky mess. Maybe I can send some gifts out later this winter?

Spoke to the market organizer and apparently "you are on the list to be approved" means "we still need to decide on you" as opposed to how I read it, "you'll be approved soon." Back to waiting.:facepalm:
