Bake Sale

This week, my friend and fellow Borneo fundraiser, Gemma, held a cake sale in the Sixth Form Common Room. We made a lot of cake, not really knowing how much we would sell, and set up in the Common Room where everyone could see us. We'd put up posters around the Sixth Form area the week before and advertised on Twitter to try and get as many people to see as possible.

Cakes available included:
Lemon drizzle cake
Chocolate chip cupcakes decorated with vanilla icing and Christmas themed
Chocolate chip cupcakes decorated with chocolate icing
Rocky Road
Chocolate brownies
Chocolate chunk muffins
Ginger muffins

We sold all the cakes at 50p each as we decided that it would be easier to have one price and we thought that this was a reasonable amount, but some people chose to donate more depending on what spare change they had, which we gratefully accepted. We perhaps didn't sell quite as many of the cakes as we'd hoped as we had to take some home again (although our families certainly weren't complaining about this!) but we still made a total of £42.62, giving us £21.31 each.
