I like to bake in my spare time and would like to make a lil extra income doing it. I want to have a bake sale and go from there i just need some tips, marketing ideas, any advice. My grandma did it n Philly 4 20 years by going to sell her baked goods by the train station so i know i can do it i just need a good location. I really want to try this kinda jittery cause its my 1st time so thanks n wish me luck.

You don't. FDA regulations require that food must be prepared in a commercial kitchen. In practice, new cash-strapped food businesses often rent existing commercial kitchens and work there at night, when owners and their employees go home.

You need to get an inspection of your kitchen first.
(if pets in home you won't "pass")
EDIT:
I catered from home....I do know about this.
Get business cards and pass them out at wedding rental businesses....like "Blue Rents"..etc.
You can get good money..just for desserts.
Bring samples when meeting client.
"Knights of Columbus" also has alot of functions. (sometimes you can use their kitchen)
