Turning cupcakes into cash?

It's been a while since I baked because someone ordered. Not like I didn't have any, I had quite a few but I since I got pregnant in June with my second one and I was so occupied with Teuscher Chocolates and the fact that Fateeha (my 4 year old daughter)seems to gobble up most of the cupcakes I bake, doesn't really help.
So now I bake for fun, back to basics. I bake when someone wants to taste or because I want to try something new. I still take orders whenever I feel like though. Now that I bake only for family and friends, I thought I should write on other cupcake bakers around town and the rest in the cupcake world since I truly support and understand the effort that they put in to succeed in this business.
Starting a cupcake business is not as hard as you think but it doesn't come easy as well. But then how did all these people succeed? Bake with passion. Don't just put money as your main goal.
I started baking cupcakes just out of fun because I thought they were cute. Then one day my friends in the office started ordering and I had a good number of orders for Eid 2007 and that is when it all got started.
