No. All CayPops Bakeries are home-based! There's no need to buy commercial kitchen/equipment because we operate under State Cottage Food Regulations.

Basic skills are preferred. CayPops Corporate would like all bakers to have some background experience working in the kitchen, however we will train all bakers on our proven processes & best recipes.

Local baker equipment:

• Clean, well-maintained, and operational appliances (oven, microwave, sink, refrigerator, freezer, dishwasher, washer & dryer, and storage area).

CayPops Corporate provides:

• Starter-kit including a new KitchenAid Stand Mixer, cake pop molds, cookie sheets, silicone mats, cookie cutters, and all necessary tools for menu items.

CayPops bakers will shop locally for ingredients, bake, decorate, photograph, package and deliver products to the customer, per the CayPops Processes and Recipes. Bakers will be responsive to their customers, confirm & fulfill orders, and manage the customer relationships. Bakers are responsible for documenting monthly orders, sales, inventory, and expenses using templates provided from CayPops Corporate. All online advertising and marketing will be managed via CayPops Corporate.

Caylyn & her staff will train bakers in person over an initial 5 day period on all menu items. We have weekly FaceTime and phone check-ins and utilize text strings to keep in touch & answer any questions that may arise. Our growing network continually shares new creative ideas, best practices and process improvements freely and regularly - it's part of our culture. We are also here for any accounting, legal, and tax advice upon request.  

Launching a CayPops Bakery typically takes less than 2 months. CayPops Corporate will train you in 1 week. Then you are encouraged to practice and perfect all of the recipes in your home kitchen. Next we will schedule & advertise 3 weeks before your Grand Opening.

1. Cottage Food Law - CayPops operates under State cottage food laws. These allow you to sell non-hazardous food processed in your home kitchen via pick-up, delivery, and online. CayPops Corporate will review and become familiar with your state's specific requirements and ensure compliance.

2. ServeSafe Food Handler Certification - CayPops Corporate requires each baker to complete a ServeSafe Food Handler certification before operation. This online course takes less than 3 hours to complete and is included in your startup kit.

3. Limited Liability Company (LLC) - Each CayPops baker will file a Single Member LLC to keep their personal and business assets separate and protected. CayPops Corporate will assist in the accurate setup of the new local CayPops entity and give rights via a signed Operators License Agreement to use CayPops Registered Trademark.

It's all about EASE and Return On Investment (ROI). CayPops has spent the last 4 years developing, improving, and perfecting detailed recipes and processes for YOUR success. Our back-office support is constantly working on business efficiency and effectiveness so that you can focus on creativity, baking operations & customer satisfaction. CayPops brand value and awareness is continually growing across the web and social media and are leveraging our position as one of the first authorized online home-based bakeries.

CayPops Marketing and Advertising is centralized for the whole network so that you can spend your time baking, decorating, and customizing treats instead of having to watch hours and hours of the latest social media trends, hours of YouTube how-to videos, and hours researching all the other critical details and requirements that go into starting a home-based business (accounting, legal, website design & maintenance, social media management, etc). Our low investment, high asset utilization model, and growing bakers network greatly improves your profits.

Profits will vary depending on the mix of products sold. This can range from an estimated $22-40 an hour.

Instead of a prohibitive entry cost, CayPops will collect an affordable initial investment for start up and ongoing monthly operational royalty fees. 

1. The initial investment for a new Premium CayPops Bakery Plan in your community is a one time fee to cover licenses, certifications, 1 week of training, a CayPops Starters Kit, and your customized Grand Opening Party.

2. Monthly royalties fees are paid to CayPops Corporate to cover online marketing, advertising & support. The royalty fee is waived for the first 3 months. Beginning in month 4, CayPops Corporate will collect a 10% royalty of the total month's sales. 

Fill out the CayPops application form below! We will review & respond promptly and let you know if we're ready to schedule an interview. Applicants who are selected for an interview will be scheduled for a Zoom call with Caylyn and her recruiting team.
