Best cake sale recipes

[tkerby]

I'm baking for a few cake sales to raise money for the Red Cross and was wondering what your favourite recipes are for this type of event. Ease of baking, low cost and popularity are all important considerations

What I've been doing the past few years is making a sweet bread in my bread machine--I have a Mexican Chocolate bread that is really delish.

The bread is a tall round shape, and I wrap it in clear cellophane and tie with raffia or something pretty--it looks wonderful, takes about five minutes to make, and is always sold instantly.

If you need a couple of breads, just start the day before.

Many great ideas in this previous thread: Good ideas for a baking sale

(Including a nifty recipe for doggy treats!)

And even more in this thread:

Bake sale impaired, what sells?

Pretty creative stuff.

can't share it because it's from Beth Hensberger's The Bread Lover's Bread Machine Cookbook--and it's actually the italian chocolate bread with amaretto icing that i make the most often (probably because for some reason we have 3 bottles of Amaretto), although the Mexican chocolate bread is good, too.

I don't think I've ever made a dog from this cookbook!

I tried googling it to see if it shows up anywhere on the net, but no go..

Zoe.

I'll put that book on my library reserve list; thanks!
