Instructions

  1. Don’t do it alone. Involve others to have a successful and less-stress bake sale.
  2. Plan where your booth will go before getting started. Choose a high-traffic area. Find out if you will need permission or any permits to host your bake sale. 
  3. Create a budget and decide how much money you would like for your bake sale to raise.
  4. Figure out pricing and quantities so that you can meet your fundraising goal.
  5. Spread the word. Advertising and marketing is key. Create fliers to hang up in person, as well as share things on social media to spread the word.
  6. Bake, bake, bake! Since you can make many cookie and baked good recipes in advance, start doing this early so you do not have to frantically bake all the items you're selling the night before.
  7. Package up your goodies. Individually wrapped and packaged goodies are good for a bake sale. Be sure to use food safety measure and wear gloves, label your treats, etc.
  8. The day of, set up your sale.
  9. Host the sale and hopefully, make money!
  10. Have fun! Part of the reason to do something like this is to enjoy yourself, so have fun with it and connecting with other people in your community.

Notes

  • Please note the times listed here are estimates and depend on how much work you take on to make the bake sale happen, as well as how much time it takes to chill and bake the various baked goods. It also depends on how quickly you work.
