No, you do not legally require a food hygiene certificate if you infrequently sell food from home. However, if you register as a business, you will be required to take appropriate food hygiene training to ensure that the food you sell is safe to eat and will not cause illnesses such as food poisoning.
Depending on the size and nature of your business, you may be required to create a food safety management system based on the principles of HACCP. There are a number of resources that can be used to help with this, including our HACCP Principles course and the Food Standards Agency's Safer Food, Better Business guide.
