Congratulations! That’s awesome! And a whole lot of $$ for a cake!
It’s a great fundraiser for a small club. I think it brought in over $4000 with the desserts and tickets.
Oops, too late! I was going to say that Whole Foods makes phenomenal and gorgeous desserts. But you got $500 for yours, wow!
That sounds like a terrific fundraiser, and yummy! Congratulations! Good choice on chocolate with raspberries. I have to ask, were the other desserts all home made, too?
Awesome!
All but three desserts were homemade. We had chocolate cheesecake, carrot cake, crème brulee (12 ramekins), scones, vanilla cake, lemon cake, rum cake, strawberry pie, pumpkin pie torte, cinnamon rolls and a Harvey Wallbanger cake. One of the restaurants in town donated a jumbo sized cannoli cake and another place donated a fancy vanilla cake with frosted berries that looked divine.
What kind of dessert got the highest bid?
The gigantic canolli cake. It was awesome!
Thanks for sharing - I am getting hungry reading this.
Sounds like additional congrats are due to you, not only for out-doing a professional (restaurant), but for making the highest “homemade” dessert! Bravo!
So, @Onward, you were the top for people that baked their own as opposed to professional or store bought. Bravo!
Fresh strawberries with a little cracked pepper, drizzle with honey and top with a dollop of marscapone. Serve with Moscato D’Asti.
But OP? Just how often is this going to be expected from you???
If frequently you could have 4 dishes rotating. Period.
They become your signature dishes.
We only do the auction once a year, but I think I will be doing cheesecake from now on.
Cheesecake is always a hit I think.
What’s the format of the fundraiser? Is it a dinner with the auction as a component? So nice that people are willing to make so sizable donations/bids for the desserts. I’ve never been to a dessert raffle before so curious to how it all works as I am involved with different organizations always looking for fundraising ideas.
