I've never done this so I can't tell you what it's like other than to
say I have 2 friends who became pastry chefs and promptly quit the biz.
I think you should give serious thought to the difference between
doing something as a hobby or for fun or as a necessity versus it being
a job. When especially hobbies become jobs, they often lose their
lustre really fast as you find yourself not doing the "art" as much as
the business. You think you might be designing desserts but maybe you
have to spend years filling eclairs and frosting someone's else's cakes
before you get to do what you want. Anyway, that's all speculation so
you're right to find some folks who've done it.
