Hi, I've been asked to have a stall at a fete. I am a hobby baker and have no experience of selling to the public. I have all the necessary insurance and certificates etc.

My problem is I don't know how much product to bake. It'll be cupcakes and brownies etc.

Anyone on here got any experience that could help me. Thanks.

I've got all my allergen labels so will clearly mark.

Make sure you label the ingredients if contains nuts!

I'd just label it all MAY CONTAIN NUTS

@Fullofpudding that photo contains little thumbnails from a camera reel including someone's selfie? In case you want to delete.

I also would like to do it as a little sideline. Maybe for fetes and Xmas fairs. I'm definitely going to give it a go but just don't want to make too much/too little. I belong to a few local
Facebook groups so I'm sure I'd sell on anything left. Also people keep telling me to do it so I'm going to give it a go!

I would definitely have a go because you can dip your toe in and see if you like it. I love the banter and the compliments but you've really got to enjoy baking and dont add up all the hours you spent cleaning up etc.

I suspect you can only make good money if you upscale your production - and that's not my cup of tea. I love people loving what I've made
