oh whoops misreadquote:We believe that starting small and staying within our means will allow us to solidly grow while avoiding many of the risks that opening a storefront or rushing into expansion would bring. We believe that our passion for our product is what will allow us to overcome obstacles and keep moving forward. so yeah they are specifically not opening a storefront. instead they will exclusively sell to people on the internet who are willing to wait a week for their meager package of "cake chips" instead of spending five bucks on a box of betty crocker and splattering it haphazardly on a baking pan

it's a dumb product but it's not a dumb idea to have a home based business selling food if you can get away with it legally

they don't want to rush to expand but they want to rent a commercial kitchen, wtf have they sold anything yet? if they are selling online that's the only reason to jump to rent a kitchen, if they are already outgrowing their home kitchen

Unfortunately, one of the reasons we created a Kickstarter campaign for CakeChips is because we couldn't afford the costs of purchasing packaging and equipment to nitrogen flush and seal our product to give it a longer shelf life. While we have the recipes and have made the product before, we are unable to ship them as of now. We are still working on food handling licenses as well, so even if we could package and ship we wouldn't be able to sell it to you until we got cleared by the Department of Health.

Ever wanted to turn your earphones into headphones? check out the reward tiers they have a limited "first backers" tier where you get a set for "only" $20, and then an unlimited $25 tier where you get the headset four people either didn't read closely enough and just skipped straight to the $25 tier or they believe so strongly in the dream that they just wanted to give more $25 to keep a lovely $2 pair of earbuds in rofl
