Why a Bake Sale?Bake Sales are great money makers; theyrequire very little funds prior to the eventbecause the baked goods are donated or thecost of ingredients is spread among severalparticipants.Bake Sales bring people together because theyprovide a great way for everyone to pitch in. Byparticipating, people feel involved andcommitted.Bake Sales are manageable because they onlyrequire your kitchen and a place to hold theevent.Bake Sales help share the fun because goodspurchased at bake sales can easily be shared orgiven as gifts, unlike fancy or expensive prizestypical of other fundraisers.Bake Sale Ideas/ VolunteerSpot, DOING GOOD just got easier!

Basic IngredientsEvery good recipe has a list of essential ingredients. Here’s a list ofthings you’ll need to make your bake sale a success!Leadership Team: A group of two or three peoplethat are the designated ‘go to’ people. Theleadership team decides where the sale will be held,how much the items should cost, and who willhandle the other responsibilities.Volunteers: A group of people willing to do one orseveral tasks, such as:Purchase IngredientsBake cookies, cakes, pies, etc.Purchase decorationsDecorate sale locationMan the sale stationsHold/count the moneyReplace the sale stockSpread the wordLocation: A great location that is easily accessibleand has lots of foot traffic.Bake Sale Ideas/ VolunteerSpot, DOING GOOD just got easier!

Delicious DonationsFood donations are the main ingredient of a bake sale. The majority of bakedgoods sold should be donated by group members or willing volunteers.Having people donate baked goods helps share the workload, rather than askingpeople to donate ingredients or money and asking only a few members to do thebaking.When hosting a bake sale, try to avoid having too many of the same item byplanning ahead. Create a sign up sheet indicating how many of each item isneeded. In addition, clarify which types of goods should be packaged or not.To be sensitive to food allergies, make sure all donations are labeled and have aningredients list attached.Making your sign upsheet is easy atVolunteerSpot!

Catering to CustomersWhen hosting an event, it’s important to know your audience.Bake sales are usually universal, but there are some specifics thatcan be helpful to ensure your bake sales runs smoothly! If children are present, make sure edibleitems are out of reach or individuallywrapped so they cannot be put in achild’s mouth and then replaced on thetable. For diabetics, offer low-sugar options. Have a collection of caffeine free items,without chocolate. Offer nut-free items for people withallergies. If it’s in step with the culture, offer veganand organic items. If holding a bake sale for an olderaudience, offer alcoholic flavored items.Bake Sale Ideas/ VolunteerSpot, DOING GOOD just got easier!

Think Healthy, Be HappyBake sales often feature lots of sugary and fatty foods, so it’s a good idea tooffer healthy items too. People have a concept of sweet food when theythink of bake sales, so you’ll want to offer sweet but low-fat, lowcholesterol, and minimal-sugar sweet treats. These health conscious ideaswill help your customers feel better and maintain a balanced diet while stillsupporting the sale. Carrot and Raisin salad (includepineapple for some tropical fun!) Celery and Peanut-Butter sticks(add raisins or chocolate chips ontop) Fruit Baskets Dried fruit and nut trail mix Chocolate dipped strawberries Home-made pretzels (addcinnamon and powered sugar forminimal sweetness) Banana splits with low-fat icecream/frozen yogurtBake Sale Ideas/ VolunteerSpot, DOING GOOD just got easier!

Allergy AdaptationsAllergies can often hinder customers from participating in a bake sale,because they feel like there are no options available for them. Planningahead can help even the most allergic person find something to enjoy atyour bake sale. Corn Allergies: avoid all cornproducts, including corn syrup andcorn meal. Prepare corn-free itemsusing only fresh ingredients andwheat based products. Be carefulwhen choosing sprinkles or chocolatechips, which often include corn syrupin the ingredients list.Wheat Allergies: Provide gluten freeitems. Bake goods using gluten-freeflour, and be sure to check all theingredients labels of anything elserequired for the recipe.Bake Sale Ideas/ VolunteerSpot, DOING GOOD just got easier! Lactose Intolerance: Lactose usuallybakes out of items when they are putin the oven, but if a recipe calls forwhipped cream or ice-cream,remember to indicate on the labelthat the item contains lactose. For alactose-free option use Cool Whipinstead of Whipped Cream.

Notching Up Nutrition Replace half theamount ofmargarine/butter/oil with apple sauceor pumpkin puréeto make muffinsand cupcakeshealthier and givethem a lightertexture. Add half theamount of flourand replace theother half withwhole oats to addfiber to cookies.Bake Sale Ideas/ VolunteerSpot, DOING GOOD just got easier!

Have abroom, mop, and towels handy just in caseany items spill or get dropped.Watch the cash box. Never leave the cash boxunattended.
