Lemonade Stand bake goods?!
Ok my Daughter who is 6 is going to be doing a Lemonade Stand to raise money for our local Pet Shelter!. She is a huge animal lover!.
Besides the lemonade she wants to make and sell baked goods!. What kinds of things would you buy if you came to a stand!?
She has lemon squares and cupcakes so far!.
Thanks!! This is our first Lemonade Stand!.
We are putting out signs, balloons, streamers and have a fancy stand!.

Cupcakes 25 cents or 50 cents!?

Everyone has had some really great ideas, so I don't have anything to add in the way of human food!. However, JennyP said to see if the local shelter could help with advertising and having baked goods donated!. That is a great idea!. You could also have a cake walk right in front of the lemonade stand!. Charge $5 to enter the cake walk!. Plus since the shelter is advertising and this is to raise money for the animals, why not tell people to bring their pets along!? You could look up some recipes for doggie treats and cookies and sell those as well!. That would also be alot of fun for your daughter, she would be able to meet the neighborhood dogs!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
How cool is this!!!! Here are some ideas:
1!. Brownies
2!. Snickerdoodles
3!. Rice Krispie Treats
4!. Oatmeal Raisin Cookies
5!. Peanut butter cookies
6!. White chocolate raspberry bars
7!. Chocolate chip bars
8!. Key lime tarts
9!. Pecan Pie bites
10!. Frosted sugar cookies
I'd sell them for about 50 cents a piece for the brownies and tarts and 3 for $1!.00 cookies!. See if you can get some help from your local animal shelter to advertise and donate baked goods!. Good luck!Www@FoodAQ@Com

I would definitely buy brownies or cookies!. You should charge 25 cents for a small and 50 cents for a large!. Cupcakes are extra special so you should charge 50 cents!. Maybe Rice Crispy Treats!? Www@FoodAQ@Com
