A Passion for Baking is the Main Ingredient
We are not going to discuss how to create a business plan or deciding on a name, location, licenses, and legality. Nope, we are going to discuss the fun stuff, like the physical, tangible things you need to make the cupcakes for which people will be salivating. From muffin pans to frosting bags, spatulas to ovens, these are the toys to cook up your vision.
