Baker forced to stop selling leftover cakes after being issued £795 council ultimatum.

Supported by 1 story

A baker has been forced to abandon her plans to sell leftover cakes from a roadside honesty box after discovering she would need to pay nearly £800 for a council licence.Steph Goodhand, who runs a coffee trailer business, had intended to use a cake shed on her driveway to offload extra bakes left over from private functions she caters approximately once monthly.After learning that another cake shed operator in a separate council area faced a potential £1,000 penalty, the 34-year-old contacted East Riding of Yorkshire Council and was informed that a street trading licence would be necessary.According to the council, a licence becomes mandatory when an individual "is operating on a business footing".
