Somehow, I have managed to avoid bake sale participation in my life so far. Growing up in the days where homemade food was almost entirely banned from schools and classrooms, holding bake sales as fundraisers was never much of an option. However, I have always loved the concept of a bake sale and if asked these days, I would happily participate (and possibly even help organize).
For those of you who have real-life bake sales coming up, our sister blog DIY Life wants to help you make the most out of it. They've put together a post all about bake sales and how to make them as successful as possible. They offer a selection of useful tips, including a reminder to make sure to have a variety of treats at all price points, so that you can grab the buyer who just wants a small snack, as well as the buyer who wants a full-sized dessert for an upcoming potluck. If you're looking for a good cookie recipe, might I suggest The Best Cookie in the Galaxy, which is pictured above.
