How To Display The Treats For Your School Bake Sale

My kids and I have been participating in school bake sales for over a decade.

They love it so much they even run their own booths at Young Entrepreneur’s Day in our town.

If you want to sell out fast, presentation is important. I’ve found that displays and stands can up the ante for your table.

Try out some of these items to make your items stand out

When we began using these items to showcase our goods they sold like wildfire.

Many of them we have used repeatedly at multiple bake sales and in our home during parties. They get a lot of usage.

Don’t stress too much over the perfect table. The food sells itself and is going to a goo cause for your school.
