Business license and taxes aside, I gave away several cakes while "practicing." Next thing I knew orders were pouring in.
While practicing I made every type of cake imaginable, even a 2 tier wedding cake. I made sure I took pictures from several angles of each cake for my portfolio. I then gave that cake away. Give them to clubs, groups, places where people congregate. I gave a few to neighbors and it has paid off. But my best use of finding homes for practice cakes was my local Police department. I happen to be married to a police officer and sent cakes to briefings. I have gotten so many orders from that, including from people who work in the office.
Not everyone has that hook-up, but I even got an order from the boy scouts by dropping off a few cakes to meetings. Just make sure you know someone... so they know you aren't a terrorist type person. Garden clubs, businesses where people would eat in the break room or where you know they meetings with snacks. Lots of ideas for you to get ticking away.
Good Luck!
