Susana Molinolo shares tips on producing a bake sale that makes lots of dough for your favourite charity
1. Have a variety of products for sale. In order to give a bake sale zing, ensure that you will have, at minimum, baked goods donations from at least 30 bakers. Also, see if you can get donations from professional bake shops or private bakeries so that there are items people would be willing to pay any price for. Plus, offer a variety of beverages like juice boxes, hot chocolate, apple cider and lemonade.
Tip: If you plan ahead, many local coffee shops are able to donate beans or coffee urns and more to your event!
2. Varying price points are worth their weight in gold. You’ll get a variety of customers, and many of them will be kids, so you’ll want to offer items starting at 25 cents. At the other extreme, there are many big pocket/big heart generous souls who don’t balk at donating 10 or more dollars for a designer cupcake.
