This is where computer knowledge comes in handy, which I have VERY LITTLE of. I can make a mean cheesecake, but what's a domain?

A lady used to sell pies at the Yorkmont Farmer's Market. She gained such a following and was so successful there that she opened a storefront. She did quite well there, until she grew ill and had to close her store. Her pies were out-of-this-world good! But she started by selling pies at the Farmers Market.
If you have a mix of fresh & frozen, you might be able to do that, too. The thing is, I can't see buying a whole cheesecake more than once or twice a year. We'd buy the pie lady's pies twice a month or more. I do love to make pie, but I really loved giving her my business. Partnering with restaurants and caterers is a great idea! I've seen the same frozen boxed "New York Cheesecake" at far too many places!
