A
fundraiser used by small
non-profit and
community groups, in which
baked goods such as
cookies,
cake,
rice krispie treats and
banana bread are sold to
passersby in a public place.
In the good old days, bake sales featured homemade brownies, cookies, and so on, which were donated by members of the group. Modern bake sales tend to include homemade goodies among store-bought items including bagels and cream cheese, Entenmann's doughnuts, and Pepperidge Farm's Milano cookies.
