We made at least 90 dollars so far after expenses. One thing I’ve noticed – people love homemade brownies. In minutes we had sold out of them. I made two runs to the store to replenish the cookies and cupcakes, which also sold steadily.
The weather’s cold and people want baked goods! Thanks for your help guys. This is turning out to be a record-breaking fund raising semester. We couldn’t do it without working as a team.
