Michigan Cottage Food Law signed July 14, 2010

Exciting news for those of us in the home baking business in Michigan!!!  Governor Jennifer Granholm signed the Michigan Cottage Food Law in to effect on July 14, 2010, making it legal to produce and sell cakes (and many other "non-potentially hazardous foods") from a domestic kitchen without the regulations enforced by the Department of Agriculture on commercial kitchens.  This is HUGE!  It means we small bakers came "come out of the closet" without having to spend our childrens college funds on either renting expensive commercial space or investing in a commercial kitchen in our homes.  Allowing us to operate legally means that we can now advertise, grow our businesses and determine it's viability as a full-time career.  I'm really excited about the adventure ahead!  Thanks Governor Granholm!
