A former student of mine does some baking at home for people. She doesn't advertise. She's not incorporated, she just bakes cakes and cookies for people privately. Today she was served with papers from the dept of health because someone reported her. She must cease and desist (I don't know if that's the official legal term). To get licensed, she would have to get rid of any pets she has, and she does have a pet.
This happened to a coworker a few years ago. His wife would make candy to order. He put a sign up sheet in the school cafeteria (in the prep area) for people who wanted to order candy for Christmas, Easter, or Valentines Day. Not a full time gig by any means. Health Dept inspectors during a regular visit saw the sign up sheet and told him he couldn't continue.
At what point does a friendly transaction become a business?
