Hi there! First of all best wishes on starting a new business. I too am new to the business field and one thing that I've learned so far is to have a good quality for whatever you're selling and more than that maintaining the quality with the increase of customers. Later on, you would be needing a bit of a promotion for your business. I would say to keep it low on expense, but see to that it reaches the right people. Direct mail advertising, I'll say is a good option. http://www.troimail.com/services/why-choose-direct-mail-advertising/ It's something that I've personally benefited from. Make sure you have variety of cakes for your customers to choose from. You can always start off with a price a bit lower than the cake shops in your locality. Later, after you make a good stand, you can always increase your rates.

First you need to tell HMRC you're self-employed, it's necessary to do, and register your business. Second, you need to register your premisces with the local authority’s environmental health service. Third, sort your home baking insurance to be covered in case you're sued for injury or damage. And of course, your kitchen must be up to standard. Good hygiene practices, modern equipment. https://mcdonaldpaper.com/kitchen Here you can buy almost everything you need, the rest should be discussed with a lawyer. Good luck!
