So do you think you'll make money doing all this? I always love looking at your treats!

Hey Jess!

Thank you!! :) I think of ur kiddos sometimes when I do certain designs-I'll have to do a "tribute cupcake" for each of them! :) I'd bring the cupcakes to them if i was closer to u. :(
Seriously tho- I'm interested in doing a "tribute batch" where I personalize one cupcake each to match the personalities/fav colors/hobbies/flavors of certain people-I'd love to include them and send u the pics!
Just ask them what hobby/color/flavor suits them, and let me know their personality qualities.
I can name the individual cupcake that's theirs after them if ur comfortable with their first names being out on the internet. Just let me know! :)

To ur question:
I'm not really looking to make much money. I HAVE been getting increasing amounts of requests from friends/family/co-workers to do batches for them.

I felt sad that I couldn't do it for a couple friends because I already had a batch to do at the same time they requested, and I have to work and do school stuff at the same time.
My "prices" pretty much only cover the ingredients I need to make them.
I've been doing cupcakes for a while, and it's a hobby-It can get expensive tho, so doing batches for other people allows me to try new things, and bake as much as I want without going broke. :)
I can't "technically" sell to just anyone since I don't have a kitchen that's apart from my house(business regulations), but it's legal for me to sell to friends/family. When my work hours are not so crazy, and school simmers down-I'd like to do much more and expand my hobby, try new techniques like sugar art, chocolate, pastry and get a tiny bit of extra cash. :)

...I dunno if I actually answered ur question in my long speech just now...so--Yes-I hope to make a little cash from it one day, but right now the money I make from it just enables my baking addiction to continue. :)

I think as long as you continue with your passion and let the momentum carry you, you will do well with it. Good luck.
