‘Devastated’ at-home chefs fume ‘I could lose it all’ as councils crack down on cake shed bakers making hundreds a week

At-home bakers are up in arms as councils are starting to impose hefty fines or bans on them selling baked goods from their driveways, often in small garden sheds. These entrepreneurial moms, who use QR codes or honesty boxes to make sales, report generating hundreds of pounds weekly. For one mom in Hampshire, the potential fines have reached into the thousands, causing her to express deep concern about losing everything she's built. This crackdown highlights a growing tension between local regulations and the booming trend of home-based entrepreneurial ventures.
