According to the Georgia Department of Agriculture, if you wish to sell baked goods from your home there are resources that they can help you with.
A question submitted to the Department of Agriculture stated, " I want to go into business baking and selling specialty cupcakes in my home. Can you help me?"
Here's the answer from the Georgia Department of Agriculture:
We can make sure you are properly licensed and informed about state food safety regulations. You also need to check with your city and county about any local ordinances that may apply.
Please visit our website (www.agr.georgia.gov) or call us at 404-656-3627 to get information and to learn about getting a Cottage Food License. It allows licensees to produce non-potentially hazardous foods in their home kitchens for sale to the end consumer. Among the foods covered under this license are: loaf breads, rolls and biscuits; cakes; pastries and cookies; candies and confections; fruit pies; jams, jellies and preserves; dried fruits; dry herbs, seasonings and mixtures; cereals, trail mixes and granola; coated or uncoated nuts; vinegar and flavored vinegars; cotton candy and popcorn and popcorn balls.
On our website you can find a brochure on starting a cottage food business, food safety regulations, frequently asked questions and other information. The direct link to this part of our website is http://agr.georgia.gov/cottage-foods.aspx. If you do not have Internet access, give us a call.
