Rice Krispie treats.
Cupcakes, but I like to make them really fancy so they stand apart from the others. Fill the paper cups full enough so they'll rise up nice and high. I use a piping bag to frost them so I can make them swirly. I also use colored frosting, sprinkles and sometimes little plastic decorations. I have this weird competitive streak when it comes to baking. We have an annual neighborhood bake sale at Christmas time. I try to make the best cupcakes and get a strange level of satisfaction when my cupcakes sell out first. Last year, a few people were on to me and they also came with fancy cupcakes. This year, I'm plotting on how I'm going to up my game! Yes, I'm joking (mostly), but really nice cupcakes are easy to make and usually go quickly at bake sales.

I must be tired because I read this as suggestions for treats you can bake in an Easy Bake oven and sell. My first thought was, "Wouldn't that take forever?"

Would you share your frosting recipe if you don't mind. I am not good at piping.
Thank you everyone for your suggestions. Keep them coming![]()
For our last bake sale I made large pretzel rods dipped in white chocolate with sprinkles. I put them in the pretzel rod bags and tied the bottom with ribbon. They sold out FAST!!![]()
I actually just use store bought canned frosting! I have a piping bag with a set of tips. I choose a swirly one. Start piping on the outside edge of the cupcake and go around in a circle until you reach the center. End with a little swirl in the middle. Choose a fairly thick tip so you don't have to go around too many times. Try practicing on cutting board or piece of waxed paper a few times.
