Why not start small, make cakes and sell them in work or whatever and then see if you can go bigger?

I love to cook but I wouldn't like to do it as a business as its more for fun with me.

P.S Hope you enjoy the bread

You only put up these threads to torment the rest of us that won't be tucking into warm banana cake. I have every right to press 'Alert' at this point.

I make a tea loaf in a 2lb loaf tin every week and it's fantastic. I also make a malt loaf like Soreen, scones, and choc-chip muffins. Trouble is they don't hang around for long in this house!

I think I am going to do a vanilla frosting, and put a dried banana chip on each slice to make it look nice

Can we go into business together Mr Parkin?

I've run quite a few cake stalls that have always sold out - and in my old town I used to take a different cake each week to my friends workplace - and they'd pay me for it! She doesn't work there anymore and I don't live there anymore though...

Have thought of looking into renting a market stall, or at a farmer's market - but I suppose I could start out at boot sales.

I like the idea of visiting offices just selling cakes to the workers. Dunno if I'll ever do any of it though - although would be nice to be my own boss!

Have even had a think about names to use and put on the cake labels......

I'd really like to see some photos of this banana cake to see whether it's as wonderful as I now imagine it to be.

Go on. Upload a few photos.

I love Banana bread and have made it in the past, i'd sometimes sling some chocolate chips or chopped nuts in it. Only problem is waiting for damn banana's to ripen.

The OP hasn't been heard from since they took the Banana Cake out of the oven

I hope they weren't attacked by hungry thieves

Banana Cake anyone?

The last time I made banana bread, the bananas turned purple. Something to do with the reaction of the heat of the oven to the potassium in the bananas.

It tasted bloody awful too. Hope yours is nicer

Most banana loaf recipes I've seen call for far too much sugar, but if you take it easy on the sugar then they taste great. I've baked a few in the past few weeks and they're real award-winners but I just sit and scoff them by myself so you'll need to take my word for it.

Looks pretty good to me!

Well done. Heating a pizza is about as adventurous as I get in the kitchen!

My mum's a bit of a cake queen - as she's not getting any younger I bought her a kenwood all singing and all dancing mixer to help continue her quest to keep on producing delicious cakes.

Good luck OP in your ambition to earn money from cakes!
