Bake Sale

There is an organization here, at the university, for the dental wives.  I am a bit anti-social so I haven't really been involved thus far.  I have gotten to know a couple of the other wives and one of them was in charge of getting people to bake goods for the bake sale.  I guess they were having trouble getting volunteers, so I started feeling a little guilty after the third or fourth email.  I really should be better at being involved.  And they are trying to raise money to make blankets for sick children (or something like that).  I caved and called her today to tell her I could bake something.  

The treats needed to be individually wrapped and each bag had to be worth a dollar.  I am just glad I don't have to sit at the table and sell them because what I think is worth a dollar and what someone else thinks is worth a dollar, might be very different.  I decided to make pumpkin chocolate chip cookies and sugar cookies, with orange frosting, of course.  I tried to make them festive without being cheesy.  (I always feel cheesy next to these professional people)  I am pretty happy with how they turned out.  I think they look like fall, but maybe a little simple and elegant?  Yeah, that's a question.
  

I originally wanted to use raffia but couldn't find any and now I am kind of glad.  I like how the crochet string worked out and maybe I will use the rest to crochet a doily later (sarcasm, not really).  I used the fold over  kind of sandwich bags and printed out some little tags on my computer with my NEW font and some card stock.

Although I am not sharing a new recipe today, I thought I'd share this in case someone needs an idea for individually wrapped cookies for a dental wives bakes sale.  :)  Or maybe something else.  Maybe it will inspire you to create something even better and awesomer. Or maybe it will inspire you to have a bake sale. :)

You'd pay a dollar for one of these bags, right?  Right?
