How do you package bake sale goods?

Question

I made a chocolate banana bread for the Great American Bake Sale. Should I sell it whole, or slice it and package it? I was thinking of saran wrapping slices, adding a name tag and a pretty bow. Any suggestions or thoughts?

Answer 1

Yep, you can definitely earn more by selling per slice. But a number of people may want the whole bread so give them an option (but be sure to compute your break-even price!) Saran wrapping with bows is pretty. You can also wrap it in cling film or colored cellophane paper so that customers can see your ware, but be sure that it is handled carefully. You can also place them in small cake boxes with a transparent side on top. Your imaginatio is the key :-) Good luck!

What you said is the best way. Selling it individually will bring more profit and the saran wrap thing is good too. Don't use colored wrap, because people want to see what they are buying. The name tag is a good idea too. Anything to make it attractive should work. You might think about using the curly bows , or putting banana stickers on the name tags. Use colorful bows and tags instead of colorful wrap.

Answer 5

You'll definitely earn more selling it by the slice.

I would prefer to see each slice on a paper plate, the whole wrapped in plastic wrap. If you just use the wrap, careless handling (by customers, volunteers, kids) will break some of the slices inside their wrapping.

Any chance you'd edit and share your recipe? Sounds yummy, and I've got a couple bananas past their prime...

Answer 7

I wouldn't slice it, typically when people want bread they want a whole loaf. Go with your idea about saran wrap and a bow but for the whole loaf.

Answer 8

You could saran wrap slices and saran wrap a whole one. It's up too you. The sky is the limit.

Answer 9

don't go spending more money on packaging than you plan to charge. slice at least one loaf (how many did you make?) and sell it by the slice in baggies. wrap a loaf in plastic wrap to sell whole. you make more money selling by the slice, but someone may want a whole loaf for their family or company to share.

Answer 10

Usually saran wrap is good because it is inexpensive and convenient. Sure keeps food fresh as well. Sounds like your ideas are nice ones.
