<p>Don’t forget about <a href="/recipes/collection/flapjack-recipes">flapjacks</a> – they may not constitute a cake, but they’re always a crowd-pleaser. Once you have a base of butter and oats, try adding dried fruit like cranberries, blueberries or apricots, crunchy seeds such as pumpkin or sunflower, and touches of spice – ginger works well. Get creative with toppings, too – drizzles of chocolate or layers of caramel should do the trick.</p>

<p><a href="/recipes/collection/cupcake-recipes">Cupcakes</a> are a bake sale staple, and are usually snapped up pretty fast. The simple sponge mixture for our easy <a href="/recipes/vanilla-cupcakes">vanilla cupcakes</a> is so quick to stir up, and little hands can get involved with the decorating. Other popular flavours such as chocolate and lemon are sure to please as well.</p>

<h2>Get ahead</h2>
<h3>Go for cakes that keep</h3>
<p>Avoid cakes and bakes that are best served soon after leaving the oven – Victoria sandwiches and scones taste best when eaten on the same day, so unless you have lots of time, it’s sensible to save them for another occasion. We suggest drizzle cakes, brownies, fruitcake or parkin.</p>

<h3>Freezable cakes are a bonus</h3>
<p>If you’re super-organised, you can make your bake in advance by choosing a recipe that’s freezable. The base of these <a href="/recipes/caramel-button-cupcakes">caramel button cupcakes</a> can be made ahead and stashed in the freezer. All you need to do on the day is defrost the sponges and add a cream cheese frosting. Or, keep it really simple with our freezer-friendly <a href="/recipes/apple-crumble-loaf">apple crumble loaf</a> and <a href="/recipes/raspberry-bakewell-slice">raspberry bakewell slices</a>.</p>
<h2>Easy bakes</h2>
<p>Think about the transportation process before you tie on the apron. Traybake biscuits and cakes can be cooled in the <a href="/review/best-cake-tins">tin</a>, covered then cut on arrival – just make sure you line and butter the <a href="/review/best-baking-trays">tray</a> well. Iced buns are perfect for packing into a tin, and this <a href="/recipes/cherry-choc-coconut-tray-bake">cherry, choc & coconut traybake</a> is great for cutting into slices and transporting in a container.</p>
<p>It’s worth investing in a good cake box or large food container, too. Be careful not to ruin your creations when piling them into boxes – un-iced cakes can be stacked between sheets of baking parchment, but iced cupcakes will need to be arranged in a single layer or placed in a disposable cupcake box. These are available online and in some craft stores.</p>

<h2>More top tips for a bake sale:</h2>
<h3>Name it</h3>
<p>Keep track of your kit by labelling it with your name – cake sales can get hectic as everyone scrambles to get their bake on the table, so it’s a good way to ensure your tins don’t go missing. This is where disposable cake boxes come in handy.</p>
<h3>Label it</h3>
<p>Consider those with allergies or dietary preferences, and let people know what they’re eating. Include key information such as ‘contains nuts’, or try baking with alternative flours and ingredients. We have a selection of gluten-free bakes that taste great whether you’re following a special diet or not.</p>
<p><a href="/recipes/recipes/collection/gluten-free-recipes">Gluten-free cakes</a><br>
<a href="/recipes/collection/vegan-recipes">Vegan cakes</a><br>
<a href="/recipes/recipes/collection/dairy-free-recipes">Dairy-free cakes</a><a href="/recipes/collection/egg-free-cake-recipes">Egg-free cakes</a></p>
<h3>How to price it</h3>
<p>As a general rule of thumb, your donation is the cost of the ingredients, so anything you make on the cake sale goes straight to the good cause. To keep things simple, price a decent slice of cake at £1 and single biscuits and cupcakes at 50p each.</p>
<h3>To make or to buy?</h3>
<p>If you can’t bake anything, just donate what you would have spent on ingredients – don’t be tempted to buy something and pass it off as homemade. It’s unfair on those who’ve been up all night baking! If you’re really stuck for time, Scott Mills’s <a href="/howto/guide/how-bake-cake-sale">crispy chocolate cakes</a> are perfect – they’re ready in just 30 mins.</p>
<h3>Added extras</h3>
<p>If you use one of our website recipes, print out a stack of copies to give out to your customers, so they can make your bakes at home too.</p>
<p>Bring napkins, paper plates and forks if you’re serving your cakes straight away, or pack a roll of food bags or boxes for takeaway. You could also ask local cafes and coffee shops to donate a stack of napkins or disposable cutlery to help you, and you could consider serving free teas, coffees or cold drinks to go with your bakes.</p>
