For a bake sale, we are encouraged to make a good variety...?

Question

of things, instead of your basic cookies. They also want us to wrap the baked goods in a kind of unusual or pretty manor, so they will sell better. Any Ideas?

Answer 1

Rice Krispie squares go over well at baked sales and they are EASY to make. For fun, shape them into BALLS...coat them in multi colored candied toppings then wrap in colored plastic wrap, then tie off witha colored string (like used for gift wrap bows). To each end of the bow, the dangling string, tie on a colored lifesafer candy!!! Sure to sell them out!

Answer 2

try also making muffins.you can wrap the muffins individually and the cookies maybe 3 to a pack. Get some of the colored cellophane and some holiday twisty ties, they make them in gold or silver or use wrapping paper ribbon on the roll -the kind that curls up. you can use 2 different colors of the cello wrap and leafe enough of the edges to make a colorful bundle ofpaper at the end. You can also buy smiley face stickers to put on the wrapped cookie packages.

Answer 3

Make different brownies some with nuts some without and maybe some with chocolate chips in them you can also ice some. Make different kinds of cup cakes and decorate a few with sprinkles. Make some different kinds of pies. Don't forget to make some fudge especially chocolate and peanut butter they are really good sellers. Just have a big variety of things. Use the colored or decorative plastic wrap to put around them. Hope your sale goes well.

Answer 4

Since it's almost summer, why not make some lemon bars or some kind of berry dessert. Go to Good Will or other type of resale shop and purchase a pretty plate or two (usually they are 25cents or so), put your goods on the plate over a paper doily. Wrap with plastic wrap and make a fancy bow out of toile from a fabric store (also very cheap and it's EZ to make bows out of)

How about snowballs in the summer time...

CHOCOLATE SNOWBALL COOKIES

Answer 6

Lemon, blueberry or pecan tarts sell well.
I make sheet cakes and cut them into 8 little cakes. Then I decorate each one with sprinkles and the like. Always sell all of them. Individual sweet breads sell well too. You can get 4-5 small loaves from one batch.

Answer 7

They have colored lunch bags in the gift bag section of Wal Mart. I use them to put 4-5 cookies of different flavors in. I punch two hole in the top and string through some ribbon that I've curled up. I try and do it in school colors, too.
