I have bake sales at Ryerson University with no problem and that may be more of a public setting than this. Not even Aramark or Tim Horton's care that we're sort of cutting their baked goods grass, so to speak...

Is a public event like a Cupcake Camp in violation without every exhibitor meeting those standards? Especially if a member of the public can purchase food at the event, or if there's an admission fee. That becomes a commercial setting. Even without any monetary exchange, if a clueless or malicious amateur either accidentally or deliberately serves something messed up and people get sick, what means do you have to trace the source of the illness? I hope the organizers have checked this out thoroughly to stay clear of trouble.

Commercial businesses are subject to health department inspections and other serious regulations. It's not uncommon for hobbyists to venture into the realm of "paid gigs" for friends and family, but you do need to be careful. The last thing a hobbyist wants to do is have the health inspector show up at their front door and end up in hot water. This is a really good point to make.
