Default getting started

Hi MBrown,
At the risk of sounding foolish, what is "PM"ing? is it another area within this thread forum that we can chat a bit?
I have not been able to sign on here for a while. I do not know when you came on.
I have a full time job that I cannot afford to leave. Anything I do would have to be after hrs. This can get tough. I have been asked to do a charity bake sale at work in a couple of months. I am looking forward to it.
I will say I have "much" to learn. I am not a pro at all. I am going on comments made by anyone I baked for. I baked at a previous job of 15 yrs for occasions and I have been told to either write a recipe book or start my own business. I guess I should have realized I would be one of many layed off!!
Here I am at another job and I am baking with much success. I always bring home empty trays! So, I thought if I could get started, I would have a following from my old job, new job, and our dog's kennel I baked for each holiday season. I was told to inform them if I open up a shop! Even if I have to wait to retire to do this, I will try to bake for things I am legally able to bake for. It keeps me baking and creating and creates a network for me. I hope I am not going through all this expense and time for nothing. For now, I will settle for this as a side line to suppliment my income if I can work it legally and affordably, as I need to keep a full time steady job.
