How can I start an "online bakery"?

Hi everyone :) I was wondering if any of you with online businesses could help me create a website where I can sell pastries. I already have a bunch of "customers" that love them, and are willing to provide reviews for them... I just want to get my business bigger (as in the suburb I live in), at least for the summer.

I'm 18 and I have no social security number because I'm an immigrant (legal). My parents would be willing to help me with anything that requires a social so that shouldn't be a problem, I just want some easy steps you think I should follow to open this.

Thank you!!!
