What Would You Make for a School Bake Sale?

[its_me_susan]

I need to whip something up.... Don't want to be extravegant, would be nice to make a lot without a ton of work. I need to wrap individual portions too.

Last year I made the amazing cobblestone muffins... but I want to make something else.

Since it's the holidays, the Spice Pumpkin Tartlets would be nice. Different from the ordinary brownies and cakes.

How about making the Berries & Cream Brownie Squares? The individual portions cut nicely and look adorable.
Or heck...how 'bout Lemon Cupcakes in the Floral Cupcake Pan??

Tuxedo brownie cups...those would be easy and you could double the batch to make more...wrap 2 or 3 in pretty celophane paper and sell them...yummy

The tuxedo brownies are my new favorites. For Halloween, I made orange frosting to put in there...you could do it in school colors! ROCK ON!

pumpkin cream cheese barsMy 15 year old asked me to make these for her to take to school for a fall fun day. The kids loved them.

I love the flaky almond pretzels that are in the new cookbook, Cooking for Two or more. They are sooo yummy. They taste just like the bear claws that I used to get at a bakery in my old neighborhood. You can get 2 batches out of 1 can of almond past, so be sure to get enough puff pastry. These were a huge hit with friends and family. Also great to wrap individually, and different and a little more grown up than traditional brownies/cookies/cupcakes.

LEMON CUPCAKES!!! lol. I do have 3 boxes of that. Does the frosting harden up?

I need to try these. Do they take a long time to make?

Can I make it in a loaf pan? I'm trying to get away from the time of individual little things (need to whip them up today and I have a full day). Thanks for the idea though... might have to make those for us!

Where's the recipe for these? Is it this one (my kids like it too) - this one is a little too moist for wrapping in plastic wrap though

Bake SaleCould you buy the batter bowls and make the layered mixes to go in it and sell them . They sell real well at bake sales.

 

[ShanaSmith]

yes the frosting on the lemon cakes does harden... and they look so cute

If you have the time, a checkerboard cake in school colors would be good. The organizers can then choose to sell the cake whole, in 2 halves or by the piece. And everyone WILL ask how you did it!

Brownie Peanut Butter Chips Cup CakesI saw Paula Dean make these, and I have been making them in the silicone pan.

Make brownie mix (cake-like directions), put 1/2 usual amount into cup, then sprinkle with peanut butter chips, then put the other 1/2 on top. Bake as usual for cupcakes.

They are so yummy, and you could do a powdered sugar glaze on the top to make them "glisten" or just put some powdered sugar on them.

They are really cute in the silicone flower pan and travel very well.

In fact, I think I'm going to make these for my Veggie Tale Moms party tomorrow night...YUM!

Thanks for getting my brain working!

I don't want to donate the bowls (could be $50),,, how do these work?

Not having eggs, I decided to make the YUMMY fruit and Oat scones. Yum,

the almond pretzels aren't hard to do at all, but I may avoid doing it as a demo, as you need a mixer. Plus the spreading the almond paste mixture evenly over the puff pastry would not be so graceful durung a show, its quite thick and sticky.
