How can I get a bakery to mass produce the cakes and how can I get an existing retail store to put them on their shelves? I took some of the cakes to Starbucks and was told that they were incredible, but that Starbucks doesn't buy new recipes, and they only accept goods for resale from their franchise bakery vendor. They don't seem to realize the gold mine they are passing up...these cakes are truly exceptional!
Here's a partial list of ingredients: Peaches, pineapples, cherries, raisins, cocoanut, vanilla extract, pudding...and a few other secret ingredients as well!

I really don't want to sell the recipe, I just want to know whether to approch it from the manufacturing end or the retailing end. I mean, should I already have a reseller (local coffee house, sweets shop) set up before approaching a bakery or vice versa?

well my dear other than opening your own bakery and selling it yourself , most will opt to buy out your recipe. you can submit a sample to the larger brands like duncan hines or similar and have them write back. they might even hire you. but if you want poeple to know your cake. then just start doing it yourself. it doesn't have to be a mass thing. start slow and small. a good kitchen aid is enough make like 2-3 batches and start peddling it to the local area ( supermarkets, independent coffee house, flea market, weekend market, 711, gas stations) go directly to the manager and let them decide.

Start locally. Get them in non franchised stores first. Get some feedback from the public. Forget the large scale production. Sell the recipe. then use the time you were wasting producing, and create a new recipe and do it all over again. =) You will do much better for yourself the first few times to make the money by selling the recipe instead of the cakes. then after you make a significant ammount of maoney, you can look into becomming a manufacturer. But I doubt you will want to take on manufacturing large scale. The money you get from selling recipes (if they are "that good") should be sufficient to make ya happy.

the day of the small business is over, many grocery stores have their own in store bakery, which has put many mom and pop bakerys under. If you do find someone to bake it for you, and it is that good it will be copied. and mass produced by someone else. Famous Amos was the last guy that had an idea, but he used his cookies as an introduction to meet people not really his business

If you want to eat truly healthy, lose body fat consistently, normalize your blood pressure, cholesterol levels, prevent cancer, and even boost your brain health and energy levels, you may have heard all over the news that the Paleo Diet has been found to be one of the best methods of achieving all of these benefits compared to any other popular "fad" diets out there. Go here https://biturl.im/aU4js
The truth is that the Paleo Diet will never be considered a fad because it's just simply the way that humans evolved to eat over approximately 2 million years. And eating in a similar fashion to our ancestors has been proven time and time again to offer amazing health benefits, including prevention of most diseases of civilization such as cancer, heart disease, alzheimers, and other chronic conditions that are mostly caused by poor diet and lifestyle. One of the biggest misunderstandings about the Paleo Diet is that it's a meat-eating diet, or a super low-carb diet. This is not true

You will loose money having to pay a bakery to make the cakes for resale. And you will loose the secret recipe.
Can you make them into cupcakes or mini cakes instead so you can make them at home and sell?
Your kitchen will have to be licensed with your state in order to sell anything made from your residential kitchen.

national chains are not going to buy your recipe just because you bring in a piece of cake.
i would do one of two things -
either go to your local baker and work out a deal with him ... go to a mom and pop shop ... they are willing to buy new recipes.
or
take out an ad in the paper or put up signs and sell the cake to people in your community ...
get yourself established locally before you try to go regionally or nationally.
