Anybody else have experience offering such? Any ideas for what to make? Tue Apr 27 11:54:45 -0700 2004 0 Aromatherapy 1 1637035 Never done a bake sale myself, but there is a home-baked goods cart in front of my house that serves sweet and savory items. Some things she offers (note: some of these are really only better when they are heated up) - mini quiche: asparagus, zuccini, roasted red pepper, cheese and onion, the possibilites are endless - cheese bread (kind of like scones) - cheese sticks - spniach and cheese phyllo turnovers Tue Apr 27 13:15:13 -0700 2004 1637029 0 D-NY 1 1637079 no experience, but an interesting idea! What about steamed buns - bread dough wrapped around veggies or meats and steamed, just needs to be steamed briefly to reheat, or fresh spring rolls -rice paper wrappers around noodles, mint, scallions. The cheese bread idea sounds good: one problem with savories at bake sales is refrigeration. A big cooler could replace that card-table-on-a-hot-sidewalk. I made par-baked dinner rolls for the last bake sale I donated to. Any specific sale in mind? and I think I promised you a polenta cheesecake crust recipe at one point in time!

We usually had a little electric griddle for frying up the country ham and sausage on-site; if you don't have that, I bet you could still sell a bunch of cheese biscuits. - er Wed Apr 28 09:27:39 -0700 2004 1637029 0 enrevanche
