Lemonade Stand bake goods?

Question

Ok my Daughter who is 6 is going to be doing a Lemonade Stand to raise money for our local Pet Shelter. She is a huge animal lover.

Besides the lemonade she wants to make and sell baked goods. What kinds of things would you buy if you came to a stand?

She has lemon squares and cupcakes so far.

Thanks!! This is our first Lemonade Stand.

We are putting out signs, balloons, streamers and have a fancy stand.

Also what would you charge? We were thinking 25 cents for a small cup and maybe 50 cents for a large cup for the adults?

Cupcakes 25 cents or 50 cents?

Cookies?

Bars?

Answer 1

Hey!  That sounds like fun!  What a great idea to add baked goods to your stand.  I found these recipes that you may want to add to your baked goods list.

Lemonade Cookies

INGREDIENTS:

1 cup butter

1 cup white sugar

2 eggs

3 cups sifted all-purpose flour

1 teaspoon baking soda

1 (6 ounce) can frozen

lemonade concentrate, thawed

2 tablespoons white sugar

DIRECTIONS:

1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Lightly grease a cookie sheet.

2. In a large bowl, cream together butter and 1 cup sugar. Blend in eggs. In a medium bowl, sift together flour and baking soda; gradually beat into butter mixture, alternating with 1/2 cup lemonade concentrate. Drop mixture by rounded teaspoons onto the prepared cookie sheet.

3. Bake 8 to 10 minutes in the preheated oven, until lightly brown. Brush lightly with remaining lemonade, and sprinkle with remaining sugar.

Old Fashion Lemon Bars

1 teaspoon baking soda

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg

1 1/2 cups packed brown sugar

2 eggs

3 tablespoons fresh lemon

juice

3 tablespoons lemon zest

1 cup raisins

DIRECTIONS:

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease a 9 inch square baking pan.

2. Combine flour, baking soda, spices and salt and set aside. In a large bowl, cream together shortening and brown sugar. Beat in the eggs one at a time.

3. Add in the lemon juice and zest. Gradually blend in the dry ingredients. Stir in raisins. Spread batter evenly in the prepared baking pan.

4. Bake 25-30 minutes until lightly colored on top. Cool in pan on wire rack. May be drizzled with a simple confectioners' sugar icing. Cut into large or small bars.

If I were you I would charge .50 cents for the cupcakes and make the cookies 3/$1.  Most people will throw in bills and tell her to keep the change anyway.  Atleast that is what they did when my daughters had their lemonade stands.  I also like your pricing for the lemonade.

Good luck :0)

Answer 2

Everyone has had some really great ideas, so I don't have anything to add in the way of human food.  However, JennyP said to see if the local shelter could help with advertising and having baked goods donated.  That is a great idea.  You could also have a cake walk  right in front of the lemonade stand.  Charge $5 to enter the cake walk.  Plus since the shelter is advertising and this is to raise money for the animals, why not tell people to bring their pets along?  You could look up some recipes for doggie treats and cookies and sell those as well.  That would also be alot of fun for your daughter, she would be able to meet the neighborhood dogs.

Answer 3

How cool is this!!!!  Here are some ideas:

1.  Brownies

2.  Snickerdoodles

3.  Rice Krispie Treats

4.  Oatmeal Raisin Cookies

5.  Peanut butter cookies

6.  White chocolate raspberry bars

7.  Chocolate chip bars

8.  Key lime tarts

9.  Pecan Pie bites

10.  Frosted sugar cookies

I'd sell them for about 50 cents a piece for the brownies and tarts and 3 for $1.00 cookies.  See if you can get some help from your local animal shelter to advertise and donate baked goods.  Good luck!

Answer 4

I would definitely buy brownies or cookies. You should charge 25 cents for a small and 50 cents for a large. Cupcakes are extra special so you should charge 50 cents. Maybe Rice Crispy Treats?
