Bake Sale Table Information & Download Tags

Greetings Bakers!

Thank you for volunteering your culinary skills to the bake table. As many of you know the bake sale is a very popular table at the Christmas bazaar! It is a table that provides snacks to the kids; and it is also a great source for hostess gifts or your family’s Christmas treats. Below are instructions for those who haven’t participated before and even for those who have, some things have changed this year:

Popular Items
Wrapped candy pops (snip off sharp points), cupcakes and cookies are very popular with the kids. Loaves, muffins, plates of Christmas cookies, pies and cakes are big sellers with adults attending the sale and bring in a lot of revenue.

*note: there is a separate cupcake station for children to decorate their own cupcakes; this is not part of the bake sale and is free for the kids

Packaging
Individual items should be packaged, especially this year as they may end up on the bus to St Vincent de Pius – sticky! Cupcakes can be wrapped individually and cookies in twos or threes. Many items were not packaged last year, and while this is very tempting for the kids, it is not as sanitary as we would like. We will have some extra baggies, but not enough for all items.

Fancy packaging for larger items such as loaves, plates of cookies, pies and cakes really helps sell the items at a premium – Martha Stewart it up for the school!

Sources: 
*McCalls or their local storefront at Bloor & Kipling is a great source for packaging. 
*The Bulk Barn stores also sell food grade bags and other packaging. 
*If you are really keen try Creative Bag online or their storefront location.

We will look after pricing all items.

Allergies
We cannot accept anything with nuts . We have turned away loaves etc with nuts in the past, so please adhere to this request.Given a number of other allergies that children have, we request one label of the ingredients in your baking to post.

Drop Off
The baking drop off is earlier this year as one of the buses for St Vincent is coming first thing to the sale. Items should be dropped off by 8:45. 
  • You can drop them off the night before to the gym if they are in sealed hard plastic containers (not plastic bags!). 
  • Label your containers for pick up at the end of the bake sale. Maura and Colleen are the contacts in the morning, Mary is the contact at the end of the day.


Printable Tags and Bag Toppers!


You can now download printable tags and bag toppers for your bake sale donations.


Simply click on the red bake sale buttons to download the printable PDF files.
Print out the files, cut, and add to your baking.


Use the tags to identify what you have baked and any important ingredients/information.


Happy baking!
