Baking is probably one of the most demanding jobs you can think of. Do you love it? Do you have a passion for it? Are you willing to give up much of your life for it?
Go work in a bakery for a few months. Volunteer and just absorb.
Think of the best restaurant in your area; ask if you could volunteer there.
Learn more about the business side first; the creation part is the easy and joyful part of the industry.
