In a couple of weeks my Husband and I are hosting a Bake Sale to support Share our Strength and raise money to help end childhood hunger in America. This event is sponsored in part by Domino sugar, and C&H Sugar. I encourage all of you to visit their website and sign up to host your own bake sale. It's free, and best of all..you're helping a good cause!
My suggestions for holding a succesful bake sale:
- Recruit your friends, family and neighbors to help you bake and organize the sale
- Get your community involved! Post flyers asking for donated baked goods or donated time to get prepared for the bake sale
- Get Grandma's recipes-the traditional baked good favorites will always be a hit! Homemade donuts anyone?!...
- Make something for all tastes and personalities. Have trail mixes, chocolate lover items, healthier options, small portions for the newlyweds, or large portions for the growing families.
- HAVE FUN! You're doing something great for kids all over America. How can you not have fun!
This fundraising event is endorsed by a couple of my favorite Food Network celebs such as Sandra Lee and Duff Goldman. I think Duff is holding a bake sale sometime this month as well at his Charm City Cakes bakery. If you're going to be in his area, that would definitely be something worth checking out!!
I can't wait for our bake sale! I have started ripping recipes out of magazines, prepare my favorite recipes, even my Husband is going to bake some things! I think he's going to be in charge of selling the baked goods while I'm inside promoting the Tastefully Simple Spring & Summer 2009 product line.I think oreo truffles may even make an appearance at our bake sale...
Or maybe some yummy gooey delicious brownies?!....
Or even a beautifully decorated, raspberry filled cake...yumm...
What are you waiting for? Go sign up today!!
