I would really like to start baking cakes. People tell me my cakes are to die for and I decorate them so pretty but the cakes from a recipe that is in a cookbook . I don’t want to get into trouble…so my question is can I start a home business decorating cakes with recipes that i didn’t make up?

I think you need to consult a lawyer… see if they’re patented…and if you’ve changed them in anyway to make them Yours….

yes , if you are feeling guilty over it , put a twist on it , add vanilla or dont use nuts.
All chefs use recipes that are not theirs.
Good luck with the biz.

I think when you sell cakes no one ever asked what recipe did you use. But if you feel guilty change it and make it yours in some way from juice, to extracts to overall cake recipe and or change frosting’s. When you go to the local bakery they will never tell you their recipe…What already is, has definitely been done before…Look at recipezaar.com you may find 200 different cakes and about 50 with same names just changed a Little. I am also a baker too….Smile!

Sure! Just dont’ claim the recipes as your own creations. But you can certainly tout that your cakes are homemade or home baked or whatever.
