A bake sale is a fundraising activity where baked goods such as doughnuts, cupcakes and cookies, sometimes along with ethnic foods, are sold. Bake sales are usually held by small, non-profit organizations, such as clubs, school groups and charitable organizations. Bake sales are often set up around an area of pedestrian traffic, such as outside a grocery store or at a busy intersection near a mall.
A major selling point of bake sales is the supposed and often advertised homemade nature of the goods being offered, but with the proliferation of prepared cookie dough and boxed muffins and cupcakes, this claim has become increasingly dubious.
In the United Kingdom the 'bake sale' is known as a 'cake stall' although pies, biscuits and so forth are also available.
Items available at a bake sale may include the following:
*cake slices
*pie slices
*brownie squares
*cookies
*muffins
*doughnuts
*water
*juice
*lemonade
*soda
*snowcones (flavored crushed ice)
*fruit cups
*granola bars
