Cake Pop Fundraiser: Donations

Hey guys,

We're planning on holding a cake pop fundraiser after school on final days for the end of this semester. If all goes well, we'll be able to do it -- and raise money for the club. (:

Those that want to help out should email tpredcross@gmail.com to let us know. I can then send you more detailed information like when and where to meet up to help out.

What we need most of all besides dedicated members/volunteers are a whole bunch of cake-making materials! Generous volunteers will be awarded with their deserved community service hours of course.

Here's a general list of ingredients* we need donations of:
  • cake flour or all-purpose flour
  • sugar (above and beyond: confectioner's sugar)
  • salt
  • butter
  • eggs
  • milk
  • cream
  • cream cheese
  • vanilla extract
  • baking powder
  • vegetable shortening
  • vegetable oil
  • chocolate
  • frosting
*if you're a champion cake-baker and know that we totally need more things than what is on that list, then feel free to (and please do) save the day and donate that for us :]

Email in if you plan on donating things so we know which ingredients we do or do not need any more of.

We also would appreciate you bringing in other materials:
  • cake beater (and whisks)
  • flour sifter
  • measuring cups
  • cake pans
  • wax paper or parchment paper
  • large bowls
  • lollipop sticks (available in craft stores)

Trust me, you'll get a ton of credit if you bring the things on these lists in; I would know, I'm the president. You guys have no idea how much we appreciate awesome active AND generous members.

♥ x, Kath.
