It's Official!

I am a licensed baker in the City of Fargo!

This means a lot of things, but most importantly that I can now fully market my business.  No more restricitons and limitations.  No more having to turn down jobs because I don't have access to a commercial kitchen.  And more confidence in the quality of product you are getting. 

I don't know what the future holds, but I am very excited to see how Libby's Cupcakes Etc will continue to grow and change.  I'm excited to learn more about "the business" side of things while also striving to make the best cupcakes possible!  :)

Finally, I can't tell you how much everyone's support over the last year and a half has meant to me.  Thank you so much for your encouragement, your kind words, your orders, and your taste buds.  ;)  And thank you for joining me on this journey that is really just beginning!

  4. Thanks guys! To answer your questions, there is a new rental commercial kitchen facility where I live (called Square One kitchen and event center if you're interested in looking it up). It was inspected and approved. The hardest part. I called a Health Inspector, set up an appointment to meet at the kitchen, filled out an application, paid my dues, and that was it! The process may be different in each state (or city?) and may differ if you don't have access to a commercial kitchen but that was my licensing experience. Hope this helps!
