Terri Fontenot, one of our annual bake sale hosts, made this beautiful blackberry pie for her fundraiser. Her biggest tip was to bake a sample of what you are selling and to take good photos. Presentation is important, especially for a virtual fundraiser because so many people shop with their eyes. This is exactly what she did for her fundraiser. “I hosted this bake sale when we, here in Louisiana, were in lockdown, so I was wearing a mask.
I delivered the baked items to homes and left them on the porch. My supporters started calling me the ‘masked baker’”.
Terri believes the best part about hosting a bake sale is that it’s a great way for people to donate who would normally not do so.
One thing we love especially about Terri’s fundraiser is that she also included these cookie decorating kits. What a creative idea!
