Hi - Does anyone here sell their cakes as a home baker?  I am just wondering what the Australian standards involved in that are?  Do you need to register with the Food Safety people or something? I have had people say I should do it as a business and am wondering if that is too much of a headache?  I have liability insurance but is that different?   Would love to hear what you ladies do?

Anyone selling their books, PM me!!!

 

Thank you...

If it gets REALLY humid here (which it has the past few weeks especially) I leave the petals to dry on the formers but put the whole lot in the box - I've a large plastic tub with stackable cake racks, so I can pack a fair bit into it.

Silica is inert and therefore not a concern if you eat it. BUT... I cover the kitty litter with a couple of paper towels and sit the flowers or models on that. Sometimes I also leave them on the sponge rubber I put my models on to fry and put the whole thing into the box with the kitty litter.

Thanks Karen,  how does the kitty litter go when the flowers may be eaten.

Wierd weather here, was hot and humid the past week, now its quite cool, so a good day for practising flowers.

Hi all,

Whats the best way of storing flowers once they are made.  Have seen various ways on the net.  Main thing is the humidity.  Some I've made have gone mouldy when I kept them is a styrofoam box.  Cushioned on paper towells and covered plastic box.  Any advice welcome.

Danielle - I have found some good used ones also on ebay. I got a set of 4 tins for $25 from a girl in Melbourne who made her own wedding cake.  I think it was too stressful and she decided to get rid of the pans LOL!

Hi Danielle,

I too have bought most of my cake tins form op shops and garage sales. I have only bought one tin and that was a Fat Daddios 35cm pan (about $26) from Spotlight.

Danielle, have a look in op shops, garage sales.  I have found all my tins that way.  Have never paid more than $5 for any size and I have some "professional ones.  Might take some time but I like the thought that someone before me has used these tins, think a lot might be given away to charity shops when someone in the family passes away.  See how you go.
