Baked Good to Sell at Church Fundraiser

In summary, our church is having a Memorial Day picnic and they'll be having a silent auction to benefit our Cub Scouts.

I was thinking of making the PB Cup Torte, but I'm not sure how to give it...I don't have a disposable cake taker. Do they sell that at the grocery stores? Maybe I should make something else?

Those recipes sound great! Thanks for sharing them.I think I'm going to see if there is something at the store. DH said to just buy a cheap plate if there isn't a disposable one. I guess I'll just use toothpicks and saran wrap to cover it?DH also thought I should make 2 of them. One for the dessert (it's a potluck picnic and we have to bring one side dish & one dessert) and one to donate...hoping that people will love it so much that they will bid on the one for sale. :D
 
sounds like the hubby wants to eat some, and wants to make sure he won't have to bid on it to eat it!!! funny how those guys work
 
Dollar tree has some great plates. They even had some with dots on them.
 

1. What types of baked goods are popular for church fundraisers?

Some popular baked goods for church fundraisers include cookies, brownies, cakes, muffins, and breads. These are all items that are easy to transport, can be made in large batches, and appeal to a wide range of tastes.

2. Can I sell homemade baked goods at a church fundraiser?

It is important to check with your local health department and church guidelines to determine if homemade baked goods can be sold at a church fundraiser. In some areas, there may be restrictions on selling homemade goods due to health and safety regulations.

3. How should I package the baked goods for sale?

Baked goods can be packaged in a variety of ways, such as individual bags or containers, or in a larger container for a set price. Make sure to use packaging that is food-safe and visually appealing. You can also include a label with the name of the item and the ingredients for those with allergies.

4. Should I price the baked goods differently for a church fundraiser?

It is common to price baked goods slightly higher for a fundraiser compared to what you would charge for personal sales. This is because the money raised is going towards a good cause. However, make sure the prices are still reasonable and competitive with other baked goods being sold at the fundraiser.

5. How can I make my baked goods stand out at a church fundraiser?

To make your baked goods stand out, consider using creative packaging, labeling them as "homemade" or "made with love," and offering a variety of flavors. You can also set up a display with appealing visuals to catch people's attention and make your items more enticing.
