...your home? What can you get away with without having a license? How much do they cost? What kind of requirements are there to get them? Do you have to have one?
I live in Northern Utah.
It wouldn't be full time, just a side thing to get a little extra income.
 
If you operate cake decorating as a business, your kitchen will have to pass a Board of Health Inspection, I believe. If you just do it as a sideline, by word of mouth and such, you should be able to get away without it.
I'm just guessing at this, I haven't actually done it. This is stuff I have heard.

The first thing you need to check is with the Board of Health! Any food service operation is likely to need permit, inspection, meet a bunch of regulations from the health dept. You need to check that out before you start checking up on local and state business licenses.
