I took up Hotel and Restaurant Management so having bake sales really helps in our baking and selling skills. Our baked goods include choco-chip cookies, brownies, cakes, pies, loaves, tarts and cakes. We sell it during school fairs and in city fairs. To make our stall popular, we give away fliers and free samples. That way, they will know what products we are selling and prove that we sell something tasty, too. If you are a newbie to baking and want to have a bake sale, you can attend baking classes that specializes in commercial baking. These classes will teach you the basics in baking, purchasing and pricing. Make sure that you control the quality of your products. In any case that something got stale, throw it away and never sell it, or else you will lose your customers. We usually do bake sales at our school.

Searching the net for quick recipes for simple and easy to make baked goods is good way to start. Then when you have your volunteers (asking help from family and friends can make the experience even more fun) you can all sit down and each try a recipe found online. Just make one batch each and set up another meeting to try them out. You'll then know what's going to be on the menu, who's assigned to do what and how much you'll need for the bake sale. Then you can go on to find sponsors, the venue and have a great bake sale!

It also builds entrepreneurship skills for both young and old. But, in order to be successful, it needs careful planning, strategic marketing and most important of all, you need to make sure to market your baked goods with a positive attitude. Be optimistic. It's not always that everyone will buy your products, so be sure to put on your best smile and talk your way to your consumer's heart (and stomach).

The important thing to consider during a bake sale is knowing what the people in your neighborhood (or your consumers) want and how much they can afford. Also, if you know that people around have stricter budget, why not try to sell the products in smaller portions? In this way, people with lesser money can at least afford and you know yourself that your consumer population will be larger.
