In Placer County alone, officials say cottage food permits are up nearly 50% compared to two years ago.
"I was eight months pregnant and I was sitting at home. I was super bored and I told my husband I need to do something as a hobby. I love baking, so I might as well put it out for the community," Bychkoviak said.
"I always like to do a setup video in the morning to show people what flavors I have, then at night I do a takedown video and I tell people how much money I made," she said.
"I've had days that I made over $1,000 from this cart itself, so it's been very encouraging," Bychkoviak said.
"Overall, we've been seeing an increase in cottage food permits from Class A and Class B to food carts and food trucks over the last few years," said Mike Dipietro, Placer County's supervising registered environmental health specialist.
Those rising expenses led Patricia Alanis, owner of the catering company The Sprig, to operate out of 24 Hour Kitchens, a shared commercial kitchen in Fair Oaks.
Jeff Back, owner of 24 Hour Kitchens as well as the restaurant Back Bistro, says that every day he meets with a new business looking to rent a kitchen space.
Officials expect cottage food licenses and similar permits to continue growing in the coming years. Meanwhile, entrepreneurs encourage one another to "ask for help" navigating the industry.
"Ask other vendors for advice and recommendations. That just makes the path a lot easier," Alanis said.
