75 Easy Bake Sale Recipes That Sell Out Fast

If you're prepping for a school fundraiser, church event, or community bake sale, you're in the right place! In this post I've rounded up 75 of my best bake sale recipes —treats that are super easy to make, fun to share, and guaranteed to fly off the table on salt day. From classic cookies to irresistible bars, cupcakes, and more, there's something here for every sweet tooth.

Hosting a Bake Sale? We've Got You Covered!

I don't know about you guys, but I love a great bake sale! I was honored to participate in one for several years running at my church. The annual bake sale benefitted the women's ministry, funding a full year's events off of one sale. (In that case, the sale was run as an auction.)

Our church kiddos often host a bake sale to raise money for camp or other upcoming event. This is always such a fun way to garner funds for great events.

No matter the reason behind your sale, it's possible to host a great one.

🧁 5 Tips for a Great Bake Sale

Before we dive in to the recipes, let's look at some great tips to help you out at your next sale:

1. Offer a Variety of Treats
Include cookies, bars, cupcakes, and even a few savory items to appeal to different tastes. Bonus points for gluten-free or allergy-friendly options! That's really important these days, as many struggle with celiac disease or food allergies.

2. Package Everything Neatly
Wrap individual items in clear bags or containers with cute labels. Presentation matters—it helps people grab and go, and it adds a professional touch. These days it's so simple and easy to buy great packaging on amazon.

3. Price It Right
Keep prices simple (think $1, $2, $5). Bundle items for a deal, like “3 for $5” or “Mix & Match Dozen for $10.” You'll sell out in a hurry if you offer deals like this, I promise!

4. Display Matters
Use cake stands, baskets, and tiered trays to showcase baked goods attractively. Add signs with names and ingredients so buyers know what they're getting. Levels are everything, friends! Set your table up with a variety of items set at different levels.

5. Include the Kids
Let kids help sell (with adult supervision). They're often the best salespeople—and it adds charm and energy to the event!
