Bake Sale

I love a bake sale. I think it is such a good fundraiser to have. And this year, the bake sale was even more fun because Amanda helped me. I had so much fun baking with her. She was a great helper and we were really able to come up with some fun things for the kids.

This is Paul Deen inspired TV dinner cupcakes. Aren't they so stinking cute? You get a chicken leg, peas and carrots and a little pile of mashed potatoes with a pat of butter. It is amazing what some green M&M's and a donut hole can be transformed into.




This is a version of puppy chow, which I am informed is like the best thing EVER at a bake sale. I took an old Chirstmas tin and used scrapbook paper to give it a new look. It was so cute. I almost wanted to keep it just to look at it.





The second favorite treat for a bake sale is apparently rice crispy treats. So Amanda made the rice crispies and pressed them into a jelly roll pan. Then she cut them out into circles. We frosted the edges and then rolled them in sprinkles. Colorful and so cute.




Then we made some of our favorites. Magic bars make Daniel drool. So...


Here is a shot of everything we made. The baking was Amanda's favorite part, mine was making everything look pretty. Together we made a pretty good team. By the way, we used colored ribbon from Wal Mart and seran wrap to wrap everything in a super cute way, and while it took more time than packaging everything in zip lock bags, it was a fraction of the cost. :-) We thought the colorful ribbon would make things cuter and draw the customers. I don't know if it worked.
