it's hard to give you an answer on the age of when you can. But if you work backwards from your goal, you can put together a timeline.
You have already started that, identifying that you want to have your own baking business.
1 - Ask yourself what your role will be in your business? Will you be baking? Managing the business? Both items?
2 - Talk to people that are already doing what you want to do. It's fine if you don't know someone. Call a few local bakeries and ask them if you can interview them . Ask them what questions are important to ask yourself, and ask them. It may sound silly, but this helps you ask questions you may have never though of.
3 - Use this info to make a list of skills and other needs.
4 - Ask yourself how you can start working on those tasks / skills. How long will it take to learn these. Talk to people who have learned the skills or done the tasks.
As you have these conversations, write them down. Organize your thoughts into order of first to last. Attach a timeline to each item. And at that stage you will have your answer. Best of luck,!
