Ok Reddit, so I’m an aspiring baker. I’ve wanted to be a baker since I was little. I’m also, like pretty much everyone on here, a huge nerd.

So I had an idea about going to comic cons to sell cake pops, cookies, etc. It seems like a good idea to me, and I’ve seen people at cons like Megacon selling Fudge, and I remember one booth at spooky empire selling cookies.

So I thought to myself, “I can do that.”

I’ve asked this question in r/comiccons before but I figured I could get more advice from more people if I asked here.

So what do I have to do?

    Contact your local county seat and get information on a vending license. Get a bunch of money together, learn to bake in a cost effective way. Contact convention, pay a fee to display your booth. Sit on your pile of gold pressed latenium(sp) and wait for your next show. Or, watch the money evaporate faster than water from a droids ass under the double sun’s of tatooeen and say fuck it that was a lot of work.

    I would suggest if you want insight on the business side you can bring your questions over to r/restaurantowners

    We have a lot of people there that discuss popups, catering, bakery options, food trucks etc

    It all depends on your state and county laws. Some states like NJ will not allow you to sell food of any that is made at home. I think they did change it but not sure. Again you will need to check your state and local laws.

      In my state we have cottage food laws. I don’t want to be specific about where I live. But let’s say that I’m in gator land.

    Go to the comic con website and they will tell you what you need for food sales under the vendor tab
