Baked Good to Sell at Church Fundraiser

[babywings76]

Our church is having a Memorial Day picnic and they'll be having a silent auction to benefit our Cub Scouts. They had passed around a sign-up for people to put down what they have to donate and I put down that I'd make a baked good and also donate a Season's Best cookbook. 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? I wanted to make an impressive dessert, but I also want it to be easy and not expensive. Any ideas?

the torte is a great idea, I would just get a cheap plate to put it on!

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.
