Plan your bake sale. First, determine how many treats you plan to sell. If you just want to go round the neighbourhood, then you will need around 50-70 treats. For a class sale, around 15-40. For a whole school sale, around 100-150. Also, don’t forget—if it’s not a bake sale and more of baking orders, get all the orders in first!

Plan what treats you want to make. Good ideas are cupcakes, cookies, slices of cakes, flapjacks, but then, you could always be creative, and make some different treats!X
Plan the prices. Don’t rip your customers off (or you might not get any), by selling a cookie for $5. Sell your treats at reasonable prices e.g. Cupcake=$2 Cookie=$1 But try not to make them too cheap, or you won’t make as much money.
Plan the date. Use a normal day, where people won’t be busy or away. Also, use a sensible time, e.g. after school, or 4:00 PM in the neighbourhood. Remember to ask your principal if you can hold your bake sale!

Advertise. Make fun, striking, colourful posters that say the date, time and prices of your bake sale. Hang these posters around in your neighbourhood or school. If you are baking for a charity, then include this too.
Bake. You can’t have a bake sale without baking! It’s best to ask your parents and/or a few friends to help. Make sure you have all the ingredients for your treats!
Decorate your treats. Use icing, sprinkles, chocolate chips, edible glitter, candy, anything that will make your treats look stunning. If you are not very good at cake decorating, you may need help from your parents.
Set up. On the day, about an hour before your stall begins, place a large table, chair, sign (optional) and money pot in your front garden/the hall/the playground.

If people forget their money, then give them what they wanted to buy, and write their name on a list. You can then ask them the next day for the money. Keep asking until you get the money, then cross their name off your list when you get the money.
- Put your table under a canopy so you don’t get sunburned and so if there’s a light shower, the cakes won’t get wet.
- Make sure that the prices will give you the money you spent, and a small profit.
- It might be easier to have 3-4 people baking and then get some other friends to help with the actual sales.
-
Always ask your parents and/or school before putting on a sale, or you might get in trouble.
