Why A Bake Sale?
What is one of the most traditional fundraisers in existence? A bake sale! It's easy, it's fun and it can raise some good money! My elementary school classes used to have them all the time to raise money for trips and such. Churches do them all the time too!
Need some ideas? How about a lens on...
1. Your grandmother's oatmeal cookie recipe. Share it with the family!
2. Write a love poem to your favorite pie
3. Recommend the kitchen gear you use most
4. Not a baker but a food lover nonetheless? Give some applause to your favorite local bakery
5. Are you famous for a yummy treat? (Ahem...Chef Keem and the macaroons!) tell us and the world about it!
6. Have a favorite chef? Squidwho please!
Possibilities are endless!
