Are you concerned about how to package your bake sale goodies?

Hello again Friends,

I have heard back from some of you with concerns regarding how to package some of your goodies. I have my own concerns about some of my items, mainly the smashable frosting-type ones. I also am thinking ahead to how to load the Suburban en route to Walgreens while protecting the goods as much as possible.

I have done a little searching online for bakery boxes and will make an order tonight or tomorrow. I have looked primarily at these boxes for items like frosted brownies: http://www.brpboxshop.com/2105.html and these designed for 2 cupcakes: http://www.brpboxshop.com/2100.html A colorful ribbon around the box will finish them off.

I think items like bread, unfrosted brownies, and rice krispie treats will be fabulous in simple saran wrap, and cookies will do well bagged or wrapped individually. I have also considered these single cupcake boxes: http://www.brpboxshop.com/2100.html to be used either for single cupakes or for items like sweet rolls or cinnamon rolls, if there are enough people making those to warrant an order.

If you are planning on an item that would do well in these boxes will you please let me know? And let me know how many you will use and of what kind? I would prefer to get as close to the right number we will use as possible. Also, if there is another size that would be better for you please let me know and we'll see if others would also use that type.

If you want to make a donation to cover the boxes you will use for your goods, that would be great, but if you do not want to or cannot, I am fully willing to cover the costs. I think the little bit of extra on packaging will pay for itself with increased sales. These will be Mother's Day ready and pair so nicely with a Walgreens card.

Thanks!
Kristin
