So what is the point of a bake sale? If it’s a fundraiser, then as long as the merch is free to the school (and sellable), it serves its purpose.
If the point is provide schoolkids with sweet treats, then it wouldn’t be a sale.
But if the point is to extract the maximum amount of unpaid labor from women/girls, then I guess you’re right. In which case, no mixes either, lol — all baking must be from scratch!


Lol exactly!! It doesn’t count unless it took a female 1-2 hours of time to shop for and make. Give me a break, it’s 2021. Women have better things to do with our time.

Some schools require bake sale items to be store bought so people know the ingredients.


The only people who care that someone baked treats at home are ... the moms who baked treats at home. The kids don't care.

Then it should be called a Re-Sale.

Cupcakes are kinda messy and a pain to eat . And the icing is too top heavy high and messes up the ratio of cupcake:icing.

Stick with easier portable grab-n-go items that high schoolers can eat during class, while walking the hallway/to class, stash in their bag/locker until lunch, etc.

I love other people's brownies especially if they have an added bonus of M&ms or (white) chocolate chips mixed in.

I suck at making rice Kristie treats so I always buy them at bake sales for myself and kids.

I hate these. They look pretty so they sell but they suck.


I think they are pretty and gift worthy when tastefully wrapped in cellophane with a bow.


Maybe if it’s skinny pretzels. Those pretzel rods are too dry. The twists with a chocolate disk and an m&m mushed on top are pretty and delicious.

Agree with others that Rice Crispie treats are a sure-fire hit, especially if you add M&Ms.

I am a huge fan of rice crispy treats, but just to bring tk a bake sale but to actually eat.

If you want to make them a little special, here’s a recipe for brown butter salted rice crispy treats. (I would cut down on the salt for kids.)

I also agree that whoopie pies are a great idea.

Whoopie pie is a great idea. Nobody likes to make them but everybody likes to eat them.
