Has anyone got a baking 'side hustle' or would like to make some money with their baking skills?

I'm doing a bit of research to see if there are other keen bakers out there who would like to be selling their baking to the local market, including local cafes. Is anyone doing it already, or if you would like to, what is preventing you from doing this? Thanks for your feedback.

What I'm looking to find out is whether there are talented bakers out there who are selling/would like to be selling birthday cakes, wedding cakes or maybe specialist gluten free, dairy free cakes. I previously sold to a local deli (a friend of mine), as it's a hobby of mine. Would like to hear other people's experience of doing this and how difficult/easy it was, if you've made it into a small business or would like to do that but are finding it difficult.

Hello! I'm not a professional baker per say, merely someone who loves to bake and try new recipes. I have been toying with the idea of attending some baking/cake making/pastry courses so that I could increase my skills and hopefully sell my creations starting from home then onto markets and so on. Becoming a new mum has made me put a pause on that dream for a bit but I am keen to get things into action as soon as I've moved in and settled into my new home in couple of months. Are you a professional baker middlesis? Have you done any courses you could recommend would be useful?
