How can I bake a good sponge cake that will melt in your mouth while eating it. What are the things I can do to make it a successful business.

My concern is you don't know how to make the product before you are even considering becoming a business person. My advise is to scan the internet, cook books, friends and family for their fav' recipes. Then, spend a few months perfecting the product you want to sell.
The next step is having a certified kitchen to cook in. Keep in mind a local church might let you rent theirs when needed. Then, find others in other cities (so you are not a competition to them) who have successfully done what you want to do, and find out costs, licensing requirements, zoning laws and such.
You have to figure out if you want to perhaps make the cakes and sell them to places that are already established... or make and sell them at local farmers markets... or cater weddings and such. There are many ways now to make and sell food rather than opening a store which can be incredibly expensive.
You have some work to do. Starting any business is tough, but food is even tougher. I hope that you persevere because I love people who go the distance and work for themselves. I am sorry if I sounded negative... I prefer realistic. I have been in the food business and might...very big might be again. Cutting my teeth on the first one means I don't make all the mistakes on the next.
I wish you loads of luck!
