With back to school comes bake sales and fundraisers. When my youngest was in elementary school I baked many cookies and brownies for her school bake sales or fundraisers. Now my daughter is in high school and they don’t do bake sales. But two of my three granddaughters are in school now so I will be back to baking to help the schools earn some money.
I am excited to announce that I am part of the McCormick Bake Sale Blog Tour. Six teams of six bloggers each will be celebrating Bake Sale items and sharing recipes. We will also be competing against each team. So because I know you love me and my recipes you are going to help my team win right?

The challenge was to create a new brownie or cookie recipe inspired by one of the recipes featured on the McCormick website. Once I saw how easy and delicious the Raspberry Brownies were to make I knew this was my inspirational recipe. Who doesn’t love a frosted brownie?
Raspberry Cheesecake Brownies
I decided to take this raspberry brownie to the next level and add a layer of raspberry flavored cheesecake to the center. {Scroll down to find the recipe.}
School Bake Sales & Fundraisers
Brownies are bake sale bestsellers in my experience. I’ve learned a few things over the years and these tips will help make your bake sale a success.
Bake Sale Tips
- Pre-package your bake sale items: Individually wrap your brownies or cookies in plastic wrap or a plastic bag. Avoid aluminum foil. It hides your baked goods.
- Pricing: Add a sticker to each package with the price. I appreciate seeing the price without having to ask.
- Price items at a dollar. Everyone usually has a dollar in their pocket. Four cookies for a dollar or a large brownie or two small brownies for a dollar is reasonably priced.
- Make brownies. They always sell out. The richer and yummier looking the better.
- Have a stack of napkins available.
