Home Baking Business Ideas: Simple a Dessert Franchise
Are your famous cakes and cookies in constant demand amongst friends and family? Starting a home baking business is a great way to earn extra income, but it gets complicated once your customer base expands beyond close acquaintances. In fact, many states have laws prohibiting or limiting the sale of home baked goods.
Fortunately, with a >dessert franchise, you can experience the benefits of business ownership and do what you love at minimal risk! Le Macaron, a well established French dessert franchise offers a macaron kiosk model to entrepreneurs that are looking for a simple, low impact business opportunity.

The Macaron Kiosk Model
Le Macaron brings the delicious, rich flavors of French pastry to thousands of delighted consumers across the globe. Our authentic macarons, hot speciality European coffees and other delicate pastries have earned us loyal customers and we have established more than 75 national and 15 international locations. These locations are represented by both full blown bakery-cafes and mini macaron kiosks.
The macaron kiosk is a bite sized model of our French cafe and is perfect for malls and other large venues. As a scaled down version of our larger business model, macaron kiosks operate simply and inexpensively. This is the perfect opportunity for entrepreneurs that are looking for a business option that doesn't require too much effort.


Additional Benefits Include:
Low Cost - For as little as $85,000 you’ll have everything you need to get your business up and running! Investment costs include your kiosk, business license, equipment, franchise fee, grand opening marketing and more.
Scalability - With such a small business footprint, overhead costs remain low and operations are incredibly simple. Multi-location business is easy when you operate a macaron kiosk due to the simplicity of operations. If you’re interested in scaling right away, we offer a multi-unit development program.
Flexibility - With such simple, bite sized business you can build an incredibly flexible lifestyle. Many macaron kiosk owners choose a semi-absentee model of ownership and hire a full time manager to operate the kiosk. You can own your own bakery business while maintaining a full time job or pursuing other personal interests.
Easy Sales - Our kiosks do great in malls due to the large crowds of people. Individuals that are shopping in malls are already in a spending state of mind and our delicious French pastries are hard to deny. You will be surprised how such a small space can bring in such large sales!
