How does one get started baking things you know everyone that has ever had them LOVES them! I bake at home. I did an engagement party and did their wedding day at both homes and the cocktail hour before the reception. Each year I would make up a tray for the holidays at work and for my dog's kennel people. I have been told time and time again to get started on my own but have no start up funds. If I bake to present to a restaurant it would be from my home kitchen. I understand this is not advisable. Churches will not allow me kitchen use for business purpose. Do I throw my hands up and give up?

I would like to at least make some side money and gain a following for later on so I can retire and have this to count on.
Any advise you can give me would be appreciated.
Thanks
