have you ever sold a food item you made

nope, never

When I was pregnant, i wasnt allowed to work outside the house coz of risk in pregnancy. Then I got inspired to bake after browsing on some cookboks. That did the trick. Christmas 07 i was able to sell oatmeal cookies and banana breads. Same stuff I gave out to relatives as gifts for the season. Then I got orders again! haha.

When things were very tight I used to make 6 loaves of bread at a time and keep three for my family and my Mom would buy three. For what she payed I could buy all the things I needed to bake bread plus and extra few cents. It was a little bit or work I would be doing anyway but it was what we needed at the time. It worked out nicely for both of us. That was my Mom though and not a bake sale. I would be concerned too. Im not all that confident in my baking skills. Let us know how it goes.

I had a fundraiser for the youth in our church. I made stromboli and sold them. I had to make about 100 of them, so it was really time consuming, but everyone loved them.

Yes I've done that, and like you was nervous at first, being a male was extra crazy, when it's a female dominated area ( not meant to be sexist!) One thing that's really cool, and I thought of this was to print out the recipe and put a rubber band around the item! I got lots of compliments on this! I did more canned items but did some baking too! Just relax what can happen? Just make sure you wash your hands a lot! LOL! tdemex

No, I have never sold the food that I made but I think it would be a very good to receive compliment by people, earning some money by doing that. Unfortunately, we cannot do that in where I live unless we apply for license and permittion and it is a pain in a neck to do so...

i definately sold cakes, hot dogs and berverages especially if it is fruit based. i let makes sales when i bake speak to the tatse and usually that my hobby for the summer holidays as school is out so i try to make myself useful and creative in the kitchen.
