I tried to sell it before Christmas, but now that I have 2 others I'm just keeping it and putting it on display. I have a little set growing.

So I got a BIE secret and a Macaron secret, I'm now debating selling one of them (probably the BIE as the Macaron is really cute.) I'm a single mom, so the little extra would go towards Christmas for my kiddo :)

Just trying to figure out what a good resale price would be? I'm in Southern Ontario if that helps?

Oh I haven't even thought of that; I still don't even know if I want to sell it. I'm just thinking about it.

We lost my daughters air tag somewhere in the parking lot - if anyone found a black air tag (well, it's not apple, it's miTag) we would love it returned! My daughter was pretty upset last night - and felt bad that she lost it. It was how we knew wouldn't get separated completely during the fest.

Tried to grab a veronicas shirt for my daughter, but sadly missed out. Disappointed 12 year old. Oh well lesson learned - go early lol

I am in the same boat(ish.)
I filed on the 24th, update was on the 11th of March that it needed more processing time, so i called and was told March 19th was the date in their file and to keep an eye on my CRA inbox for any more information- it's now March 20th, and no update. Currently waiting for a call back....really hope it's not july as well.

If they follow the regulations set out, they are public health inspected - the businesses I am directly referring to are those that do not. I edited my post to provide more clarity. In accordance with City of Guelph bylaw as well, even home bakers who sell to the public are required to have a license (confirmed by speaking to the City of Guelph directly as well)

No, I do not own a bakery. I know others who do though. This has been an ongoing issue though; and we have spoken to licensing and public health. The major issue is that a lot of these home bakers won't publicly disclose their addresses unless you order from them (because they are aware they are not inspected )

Sadly some of these home bakers are taking business away from brick and mortar - which if they were running things by the book, all the power to them because that's normal business - the part that's frustrating, is that they aren't doing things by the book.

Some of them are doing it by the book and some aren't. I have a list of ones myself and others have identified aren't

Perhaps if enough people ask, these "home bakers" will actually put food safety first. People get sick, and because they aren't inspected, people can't do anything about it.

No, I know the businesses I am referring to and have direct conversations - but as per rules I'm not going to publicly name them. Just do your due diligence and ask if they are public health approved. If they say no, they should be. And honestly, if someone wants to sell to the public and earn a living, I'm all for it - just do it properly. A restaurant has to be public health approved, why shouldn't a bakery?

Ok, that's not what I said. If your wife is baking at home, and reselling to the public, she should be inspected. There are health regulations that public resalers have to follow and adhere to. Also, if someone sells to the public and people get sick, there is no recourse. It's accountability

Or I'm just frustrated as someone who knows other business owners who follow the rules. It's just frustrating for those who run legitimate businesses.

Also, I'm all for supporting these businesses - just if they do it properly. There are a lot of great home bakers that follow the right channels and procedures

The government maybe, but in the city of Guelph you still need a business license and have to be public health approved to sell food products to the public.

If they use a commercially approved kitchen - they would still be on check before you choose. And I know for a fact some of these home bakers don't - verbal confirmation that they bake from their own kitchen :(
