The Forensics Club is hosting a bake sale in the morning and after school during Valentine’s week in front of the gym lobby to pay off memberships and entry fees for their tournaments. The advertisement was spread on the club’s Instagram and also by appearing in places where students who are interested in baked goods might see them around the school. The members had prepared the baked goods during their free time, which is greatly appreciated considering all the time, effort, and financial decisions they have made.
Lauren, who is the president of forensics, and Zairabella, a fellow member, contributed to the bake sale by baking cake pops. Trey and Antimo, members of the club, had baked cookies that lasted plentifully. The vice president of the club, Maddox, contributed by baking brownies that sold in no time. While there were a handful of students who baked, there were also those who were selling baked goods in the morning and after school. This year, it was their first step to pave the way for fundraising for the team where there is more to come.
Despite the baked goods being limited in its quantities, the brownies were sold out in no time throughout the week, only costing $2. However, the cake pops were quite the best, costing $3 but not being completely sold on time. The cookies, on the other hand, were $1, but people weren’t as interested compared to the other baked goods.
The idea, solely from Lauren and Zairabella, was a good outcome considering they made a good amount of money in one week, selling for about 10 mins a day. Hence, the startup cost wasn’t anything special- just a poster of item prices and a table with a side of great entrepreneurs. However, the financial decisions were hard, as some were needed to buy ingredients for the baked goods because the fundraising fund couldn’t even cover it. In the future, they will have more bake sales and other ideas that won’t be disclosed at this time.
“We didn’t reach the goal but we aren’t done yet we are going to continue it a little longer. It was overall easy once we figured out what was all going on,” said Lauren.
