Have you ever been told that you have a recipe that people would line up to get if they could?  Ever had anyone tell you that you should be selling those cupcakes you make?

Due to the financial pressures faced by many families today, parents work outside of the home to bring in enough income to pay daily living expenses.  A single parent is obviously working but all too often, both members of a two-parent family are in the workforce. This creates a home-based opportunity.
