Thank you, Perla @Perla Adams.
Reading your post in the other forum made me curious to know more about laws and licences in Dubai. Maybe some cookiers from Dubai will pop in this discussion and that would be interesting for both of us anyway, I guess.
I know what you mean. I like to make cookies as a special gift, as in this case it is a pleasure to put all my time and love to surprise a friend (only those friends that I know that will appreciate my work though). Or to bring cookie as a treat on a special evening among friends. But in both cases I choose how to spend my time and this is priceless as it makes me happy.
In Italy I couldn't sell cookies, as I needed a licence to sell homemade food, but I didn't have any problem to tell people that asked me why I didn't think to sell cookies, that it was because they would have been very expensive, for the amount of time put in making them. Would they spend that amount of money? Or do they know somebody willing to spend that price? I heard crickets except than in one case.
Something is the time put in a hobby and something very different is the time put in a business.
I will contact you via PM to ask you advices on decorating supply shops here in Dubai other than the couple that I found.
Ciao
