Bakeoff Bake Sale

Appeal to the community's competitive spirit and love of sweets and hold a bakeoff bake sale! You can set parameters like participants can only bake cookies or cakes, or just let everyone do their own thing. Charge a small fee to enter the contest. Find a venue for everyone to gather and have their baked goods judged. Provide a small prize for the winner, then sell off all the baked goods. You can either charge per item, or just ask for donations for the items people choose to buy. Sell punch or soda for people to wash down those cookies and brownies. A nice touch would be to have the bakers include copies of their recipes with the baked goods that are sold.

It's okay, but would be easier just to have a bake sale. That way people aren't buying what they can make themselves for free.

I think that this is a wonderful fundraiser. In the process of setting one up now. Not only do people pay for the tasting, but it is a wonderful time for families to become closer. It also brings the community closer together, as far as supporting the local schools!!!
