Starting your own business is not easy. You must give your full attention to it if you want to b successful. If you do not have formal training in baking, make sure that your cakes are really good and salable. It must have something unique and interesting that will make your customer want to buy them. Be an expert with a least one recipe to make sure that you business will continue and not just a one time big time.

I haven't had any formal training with baking too but I've been baking cakes, cookies, etc. for sale. Just start with just following recipes but later on you'll just develop your own taste and then adjust the measurements in the recipe so that you can create your own.
Start introducing your products to the people closest to you because they're going to be your critics. If they love it, you can introduce them to others and they can help market your products too. You can also use social networking sites to promote your goodies. They can help a lot. Good luck! :)

Thank you very much for your advises , that , encourage me to go ahead, I am planning to buy a new oven because mine its so small , and I saw in the videos that they put 2 cakes to make one at once it has to be baked at the same time, I hope is not that expensive , thanks for your answers.

I know that there are many ideas on the net, but I think if you seriously want to do this, you should invest in some classroom time. It doesn't have to be a full course, but just a few days of lessons.
A friend of mine did the same thing. She didn't have any training before, but she did a course for a few days. Now the cakes she bakes look really professionally-made.

it doesnt matter if you havent had any training at all if you have a natural skill that is good enough. You should start off small then move on to things such as birthday cakes and wedding cakes that will make you some good money. You can used the internet to help you with ideas but just keep practising that way you will get really good at it
