A lawyer named Warren Brown decided he had more fun baking cakes than practicing law, so in 2002 he did just that: http://cakelove.com/about_story.php http://cakelove.com/about_story.php It looks like he's up to 4 bakeries (soon 5), a cafe, a book, and a TV show.

mos, have you seen _Local Breads_, by Daniel Leader? Just got it from the library and will try his baguettes tomorrow.

  I haven't, but I'll be sure to check it out now. I love cooking and gardening, but restaurants generally have one of the worst failure rates of any business. So it's all hacking for me for now...

    If you're interested, drop me a line and I'll send you a couple of bready links (written while preheating the oven--pizza's about to go in!). Here's a guy who's doing good things with pizza: http://www.billyreisinger.com/pizza.php http://www.billyreisinger.com/pizza.php Some inspiration: http://www.billyreisinger.com/pizza_log.html http://www.billyreisinger.com/pizza_log.html

Good for you. Really good, fresh bread, is a treat that not enough people appreciate.

  My aunt and uncle opened a private bakery where they bake bread mainly for friends. It's really good stuff. I, for one, appreciate freshly baked bread.

      a candy store! with all kinds of crazy inventive candy! With a big gingerbread house just for you:)

        I guess he never read Hansel and Gretel. The candy store would be really cool, IMO. Has anyone ever read Chitty Chitty Bang Bang? Of course you've read Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. If I ever did a startup, the whole point would be to earn enough money to open something like that, or maybe a toy company. I'd want enough money that I wouldn't have to bow to market forces and could make candy and toys that are actually good (Lego RIP).
