    You are correct. I did not mention the DPA/USDA in my opening comments. That should have been my primary focus. I guess l was seeing way around it as it they were not the issue. Then when a question about selling to restaurants came up, l realized l should have brought that up earlier. I did...

    Thank you. I have gotten alot of support via this forum. Pros and cons, do's and don do's and wins and loses. Im overwhelmed in a great way. Im never give up, nor selling out, unless its a big deal that will be worth my while. You will be seeing me out there soon enough. Thank again

    Dang.....Not 2 cents, but priceless. I get it. I guess thats why people with the bucks hire public relations teams. Im the small and real world.....If you build it (right), they will come. Yes...Ok...In my case batch means masses or bigger orders, basically for caterers. In this case its...

    I had a few restaurants using my cakes, but one said l was too expensive and moved to getting them from Sysco for alot less. I was not going to sacrifice my quality nor sell my cakes at cost to match, so they could make 200% mark up. Others, l feel was the USDA regulations that strongly...

    Thank you for those suggestions. Certain things are not possible. Like moving. That is not an option. Im pretty stuck in NC. So l have to make it work at whatever cost. Wisely of course. But l can probably tweak around some of the others. I wish l could sell my company to Coke....LOL...Joking...

    Those are some great ideas. Selling a brand without ever selling it. The classes l have to be cautious because of my recipe and method, but l could make that work too. I love the Cheesecake Porn idea too. I was doing a Youtube/Live FB cooking demonstrations a while ago. I could do that with...

    Cheers....You are absolutely correct. Moonshine was made in North Carolina and thats how Nascar got started. Running from the cops. I have spoken to people who have been cleared and they tell me that its a nightmare. But they conform, but they trim alot of fat. Cheesecakes is a dairy product...

    In NYC there would not be an issue. I guess l would be in the probably morally correct situation. Who knows. But l have a huge customer base there. Great tips too.

    Yes l did. The DPA is the USDA. Department of Agriculture. Some reason in NC the DEP/USDA is over anything that does not require animals or meat, fish...etc type kitchens. Even though dairy is a by product. So its up to the Agricultural Department to make the rules and regulation regarding home...

    You are absolutely 110% correct. Basically l have been relying on the industries/restaurants to come through, but they are also blocked by the USDA....However, l have been all along and mostly dealing with the public with no problems, and all the loves. Even though its been very slow, it has...

    I totally understand. I totally appreciate all and every thing. Sometimes necessity it the problem. I just picked the worse state in the US to move to. Trust me it has history and still making it. Im actually looking to probably go in a totally other direction, with something the USDA cant mess...

    Thanks again. My freezer situation is not bad, but again the UDSA is the problem. I actually dont know who can bake without dairy. Unless its just basic bread with no enriching products. But pastries, and cakes and other baked goods need dairy. They will not define baked good. As you see the...
