Tips On How To Have A Great Bake Sale
2. Delegate - Have people sign-up for baking. Encourage people to do "group baking" for such things as cookies and cupcakes. It'll be much easier to bake 10 dozen cookies if you have help!
3. Pricing - Try to have a variety of products with different prices. Small cookies can sell for .25 to .50 each for the kids, but also includes some higher priced specialty items like Cheesecake, Pies and Gourmet Desserts.
4. Display - Be creative when you are setting up your Bake Sale. Use colorful tablecloths, balloons and streamers to dress up your tables. Display your products in an attractive way to that people won't be able to resist your delicious treats!
5. Have Fun - Consider having a Cake Walk for the kids or have a raffle for a special dessert. Also consider offering free coffee or punch to encourage people to eat more!
Bonus Tip - Don't have time to bake? Consider getting some cookies and cupcakes from your local bakery. They may even give you a deal on a large order.
