They\u2019re fun, delicious and, with the help of this guide, planning a bake sale can be, well, a piece of cake.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Running a local bake sale is a great way to get communities involved in raising money for charity, as many charitable organisations have discovered. Macmillan pioneered the tradition of a \u2018Coffee Morning\u2019: a social gathering involving hot drinks and a lot of baked goods, all in aid of raising money.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In this article, we\u2019ll provide you with some inspiration on what to bake, along with tips and ideas to make sure the day runs as smoothly as possible. We\u2019ll also explain how to make sure you\u2019re legally compliant and provide a free bake sale checklist for you to print and use.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-what-to-bake-for-a-bake-sale\">What to Bake for a Bake Sale<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>There aren\u2019t any specific rules to follow when it comes to planning what you\u2019re going to bake and sell. However, as you\u2019re likely to want to sell as many cakes and sweet goods as possible, there are a few sure-fire winners that will be hard for people to resist!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re new to baking, aren\u2019t very confident or are pushed for time, the following are simple but effective ideas for what you could create:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>\u2018School-inspired\u2019 sprinkle sponge cakes.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Basic cupcakes.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Shortbread.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Butterfly cakes.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Brownies.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Milk or white chocolate chip cookies.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Lemon drizzle traybake.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Or, if you have experience and\/or want to challenge yourself by creating something more complicated, you could try the following:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Florentine biscuits.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Viennese whirls.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Millionaire\u2019s shortbread.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Cheesecake lollipops.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Raspberry jam doughnuts.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Red velvet cupcakes.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Chocolate mousse cakes.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"685\" height=\"295\" src=\"https:\/\/www.highspeedtraining.co.uk\/hub\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/cake-stall-krak.jpg\" alt=\"bake sale\" class=\"wp-image-20271\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>There\u2019s always an option for you to buy a cake, or something similar, pre-made from a supermarket or bakery, too. If this is the case, <strong>don\u2019t forget to keep the packaging<\/strong> as you\u2019ll need this to refer back to if anyone has questions about its ingredients or potential allergens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Cake Decorations<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>You\u2019ll need to consider the presentation, too. Decorations are essential for catching people\u2019s eye, so be creative with your decorations and remember your theme. However, it\u2019s important to remember that it\u2019s unlikely you\u2019ll be able to refrigerate your cakes, so you should try and avoid using fresh cream, or something similar, in the decorating as this can easily spoil. Equally, if your bake sale is going to take place outside, don\u2019t forget to provide some kind of covering for your cakes &#8211; no one wants to buy a cake with a wasp, or other pest, attached to it!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Many people choose to incorporate edible flowers in their cake decorating &#8211; a simple and elegant way of enhancing their aesthetic. However, it is very important to remember that not all flowers are edible. In fact, some flowers are highly toxic and if ingested, can cause serious harm. For more information on edible flowers and how to decorate with them safely, check out our article, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.highspeedtraining.co.uk\/hub\/list-of-edible-flowers-for-cakes\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">here<\/a>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to Have a Bake Sale Legally<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s not essential for you to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.highspeedtraining.co.uk\/hub\/food-hygiene-certificate-for-home-baking\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">have a food hygiene certificate<\/a> for events such as one-off bake sales. Despite this, it\u2019s still extremely important that you practise and maintain safe food handling &#8211; make sure it&#8217;s at the forefront of your mind while you&#8217;re planning your bake sale. The last thing you want is to have someone rushed off to hospital and a premature end to the fun.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You may feel as though taking a training course would be beneficial to you, such as a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.highspeedtraining.co.uk\/courses\/food-hygiene\/level2-food-hygiene-safety-catering\/?_gl=1*t7me4p*_up*MQ..&amp;gclid=Cj0KCQjw3JanBhCPARIsAJpXTx53z0DQ6E01J6GxckrnuzTVyBbUGspscYxrWK6rs3FOiWuZC1ADWZwaAvjFEALw_wcB\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Level 2 Food Hygiene and Safety for Catering<\/a>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Having this training will also help with your due diligence \u2013 which is the main defence under food safety law. To claim a due diligence defence, you must be able to prove that you did everything reasonably practicable to ensure food safety and prevent an offence from occurring. This means having sufficient evidence to prove that you set up a system of procedures and controls.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In order to prove due diligence, the procedures and controls must be operated properly &#8211; in other words, you need to show accurate and complete records and full traceability of food products and packaging. You can find out more about a due diligence defence in our article, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.highspeedtraining.co.uk\/hub\/due-diligence-in-food-safety\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">here<\/a>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-allergens\">Allergens<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>It is also recommended by the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.food.gov.uk\/business-guidance\/allergen-guidance-for-food-businesses\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Food Standards Agency<\/a> that you communicate any allergenic ingredients in your cakes to your customers, such as wheat flour containing gluten or butter containing milk.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the advert for the bake sale, you could include a sentence telling people to inform you of any food allergies they have. This will help you to plan what you can bake to accommodate their allergy. This will help you decide whether to put in place a policy such as \u2018no nuts\u2019 to advise anyone taking part not to include any peanuts or tree nuts in their offerings.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Everyone involved in baking should know what allergens are within the bakes &#8211; for example a typical sponge cake will contain gluten, milk and eggs. Ensure hidden allergens are included in the allergen information, such as an egg glaze on a pastry item &#8211; these can be easily missed. On the day, display food allergen labels on all baked goods to ensure optimum safety.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"685\" height=\"295\" src=\"https:\/\/www.highspeedtraining.co.uk\/hub\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/1.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-70133\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.highspeedtraining.co.uk\/hub\/natashas-law\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Natasha\u2019s Law<\/a> requires all goods that are prepacked for direct sale to have an ingredients and allergen list. This includes items such as a cookie in packaging, or items that are wrapped in cling film.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>If someone asks you for allergen information and you are unsure &#8211; the safest option is to guide them to a bake you do have the allergen and ingredient information for, so they can make an informed decision.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can download free food allergen labels in our article, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.highspeedtraining.co.uk\/hub\/free-food-allergen-printable-labels\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">here<\/a>. If you have store-bought products there, you should always keep the packaging to be able to refer back to, as all of the allergen and ingredient information will be included on there.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Bake Sale Tips and Tricks<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>There are a few things you need to consider when planning a bake sale to make sure the day runs as smoothly as possible and attracts plenty of people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For a successful bake sale, we suggest you do the following:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Plan your date and venue.<\/strong> Proper planning is the first ingredient of success. Ensure that your sale does not clash with another important event that may detract attention. Make sure the venue is accessible for families and for you to unload everything.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Choose your bakers.<\/strong> Everyone knows that the more baked goods, the merrier. With this in mind, choose as many bakers as your heart desires. Let them know in advance the date you have set, to give them plenty of time to prepare.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Find out what everyone else is baking.<\/strong> It\u2019s important that you know what everyone is baking so that your sale is varied and you don\u2019t end up with too much of the same thing.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Choose a theme.<\/strong> Having a theme is a great way to get people involved in, and excited about, your sale. If your planned date falls on or near a holiday, like Easter, consider having a holiday-themed sale. Themes can be based on anything, like your favourite animal or your favourite film. Be creative!<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Why not throw a competition into the mix(ture)?<\/strong> You could base the competition on the most creative idea or the best tasting or decorated cake. A competition is a great way to get people excited and passionate about what they\u2019re baking and coming to your event.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Advertise the bake sale.<\/strong> One of the best ways to reach a large group of people quickly is through social media. Be creative with posts and invites and remember to include the date, time and venue.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Work out the logistics.<\/strong> Do you need to provide your own tables at the venue? If so, you\u2019ll need a tablecloth or something similar. You\u2019ll also need to think about practical items, such as packaging &#8211; for example, plates for people that want to eat at the venue or takeaway boxes for those who want to take some home with them. You might also want to provide napkins.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Plan transport. <\/strong>If the bake sale involves you travelling with your treats, consider purchasing a container that will guarantee safe transportation.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Pick your prices.<\/strong> Plan how much you will charge for each item to give you less to do on the day.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Take pictures.<\/strong> As well as snapping up the cakes, get snappy with the camera. It\u2019s a great way to share the fun.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-bake-sale-checklist\">Bake Sale Checklist<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>To make your bake sale less daunting, and to make sure that you can be confident you\u2019ve remembered all you need to, we\u2019ve composed a bake sale checklist for you.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We\u2019ve divided this checklist into three key areas &#8211; what to remember before the event and while you&#8217;re planning the bake sale, during and lastly, after the bake sale has finished.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.highspeedtraining.co.uk\/hub\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/bake-sale-checklist.pdf\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.highspeedtraining.co.uk\/hub\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/bake-sale-checklist-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"Bake Sale Checklist\" class=\"wp-image-69867\" width=\"417\" height=\"640\"\/><\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>You can download this checklist at the button below:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.highspeedtraining.co.uk\/hub\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/bake-sale-checklist.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><button>Bake Sale Checklist<\/button><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p><em>We wish you all the best in your bake sale venture!
