Wrapping tray bakes etc for fair?

mrsJef

Morning everyone,

I am involved in a PTA may fair next weekend and am doing some baking for the cake stall. Now i intend to do some O/S tray bakes & cookies etc but was wondering if anyone has any cheap suggestions for packaging them. Obviously I could just use cling film, but was trying to think of something that would look slightly more attractive. It would have to be say 4/6 pieces of tray bake/6 cookies at a time.

Thanks guys

The Range sell cello bags - think they are designed for hm cards, ae £1 for 50 so shouldn't break the bank

For cakes, use paper plates and clingfilm them.

Cookies and smaller portions of traybake, the card trays used by some fish-and-chip shops might work as plates and a local chippie would probably give you a couple of dozen. (They come flat and you have to fold them yourself.)

If the school has access to the local Resource Center (scrap store) they may well do food trays, ours always seems to have them. then cover with cling film and maybe a bit of twisty ribbon decoration

I also use their drinks cups for what they were intended and not killed anyone off yet

I was also going to suggest cello bags - a stack of cookies or pieces of cake topped with a bit of ribbon will probably sell better than the same product simply clingwrapped on a paper plate...

Lakeland sell some reasonable cello bags which I have stacked cookies in and then tied with a coloured tie twist or a piece of ribbon. They do Christmassy ones, and ones with Pudsey on too, but I am pretty sure they also have plain ones.
