My mom and I did lots of baking and packaging of goodies for a bake sale at Cruise Night in Santa Paula last Friday. We weren't sure what to expect, whether we had baked too much or too little or if it would be difficult to sell our goodies.
On the menu were:
Oatmeal raisin cookies
Oatmeal chocolate chip cookies
Chocolate chip cookies
Lemon meltaway cookies
Monster cookies
Snickerdoodles
Chocolate chip brownies
Chocolate butterscotch brownies
We packaged 2 cookies to a bag and 1 brownie to a bag and sold cookie bags for $1 and brownies for $2. We probably could have charged more, but I think that affordability makes them more appealing--who doesn't have at least a dollar in change for a good cause?
We set up a table outside of Curves, but it was really just a loading station because almost all our sales were on foot. I loaded up a tray and walked up and down Main St. selling them. When the night was done we had raised about $200 for charity.
We sold out!!! And way before the event ended! I think that next month we can sell twice as many and hopefully raise twice as much money for the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society. The first Friday of September, Main Street Santa Paula--I hope to see you there!
