Answer 1

I would add Rice Krispie/Marshmallow Squares. Everyone loves them and they are cheap and easy to make. As well, here are some tips regarding having a successful bake sale. These were tips given by "Swirly" on a bake sale question 6 months ago. I don't know where Swirly got them from but they sounds like great tips and I thought they could be very useful to you. Good luck with your bake sale. I hope it turns out to be a huge success!

Offer small samples for tasting, as well as small cups of water and coffee. Customers will stick around longer!

Rather than offering a plate of plain cupcakes, dress them up.

Dress up cookies. Dip half of each plain cookie into melted white, milk or dark chocolate, or drizzle with melted chocolate. Frost and decorate cookies for the season, the occasion or just for fun.

Stand these decorated cookies-on-a-stick in decorated cans or cups, or wrap in cellophane and tie with ribbons.

Package your favorite snack and popcorn mix in various sizes of containers.

Raffle Special Items
Sell chances before and during the event. Or auction off an item; the highest bidder wins!

Be sure to include everything from decadent chocolate treats to items for special diets.

Offer a variety of sizes, single servings to large cakes and pies. Sell cookies and bars by the "eaches" and cookie pizza by the slice!

Spice Up Bake Sales with Variety
Have a variety of prices.

Sell Appealing Items That Don't Require Baking

Make a café mocha mix by layering 1 cup of dry hot cocoa mix, 1 cup of vanilla or hazelnut instant coffee or instant espresso and 1 cup of dry nondairy creamer in clear jars you've collected throughout the year or bought at yard sales. Tie with ribbons for a festive look, and add a note to mix with hot water. Or layer mixes with instant tea instead of coffee.

Plan, Organize and Promote
Turn your bake sale into a social event with live music, craft and food demonstrations and games. Make it a tradition people will know to expect every year.

Hold a bake sale around a holiday, theme or special event, such as Christmas, Valentine's Day, Halloween or a neighborhood block party. It puts people in the mood, and they tend to buy more. Find seasonal items for props to reinforce the theme. Have someone who's good at "propping" arrange the food items.

Decorate the bake sale area with your organization's colors or the appropriate holiday colors. Workers can wear the organization's T-shirts, caps and colors.

Schedule a bake day to prepare for the event. School and church kitchens are helpful.

Arrange a telephone committee to contact each organization member to solicit baked goods.

Bring bags, cash box with plenty of change, price stickers and marking pens.

Keep prices simple for adding and making change by pricing in increments of 25 cents.

Make it easy for customers to carry the bake sale items home. Furnish bags big enough to encourage the purchase of more than one product and a few for the freezer!

Have recipes printed and available for people to take. This is especially important for people who need to know the ingredients because of special diets or allergies.

Promote your bake sale through radio, TV and newspaper.

Answer 3

Cupcakes are a plus.People will buy their child a cupcake and make a 75 cent donation.If you can, wrap a little saran wrap around and tie a ribbon bow on top to keep it from sticking to icing.The bow gets their attention.150 is not too much to try to raise, just have a good location to sell and be there where people can see you.If you have a way, go to local offices with your baked goods and try to sell to the ones that are stuck in a office all day.Just explain the reason for your bake sale...good luck.Have Variety......

Answer 4

150 is a lot for one person to sell. Try borrowing a engine-light reader, a hand-held device, and set up a table along a busy road with a sign that you will read and clear people's engine lights for $5 or $10 dollars. Most of the time a person's engine light is on because their gas cap is not on tight enough.

Answer 5

Drinks: Lemonade Orange Juice Grape Juice Apple Juice Hot Chocolate Food: Chips Cupcakes Cookies Brownies Doughnuts Muffins Cheese sticks Pretzels Cake Price: I'd recommand, nothing over 4$ from these items I listed. The juice should have small, medium or large size. Small-----> 0.49 cents Medium-----> 1$ Large: 1.50$ or 2$. It also matters the amount they have lol! Glad to help (: P.S Remember not to make them so expensive, nobody will buy! Good luck :D -Amie
