If you love to bake or prefer to purchase, we’re looking for donated bake sale items!
- Please make sure that all items are NUT-FREE and note that we cannot sell purchased items that “may contain traces of nuts”.
- When you drop off your item, let us know if it’s Halal*, gluten-free, vegan or satisfies another dietary requirement.
- Drop-off on October 23rd (at the event) from 10:15 to 10:45 am in the Kindergarten playground.
- If you’d like your container returned to you, please remember to come and get it from the bake sale table before going home.
* Halal items should not contain vanilla extract (unless marked “alcohol-free”), gelatin (a common ingredient in marshmallows), rainbow sprinkles, or lard. Lecithin should be vegetarian, such as soya lecithin. Both butter and margarine are Halal. A list of Halal ingredients can be found here (items marked Halal on the list are safe to eat – the other items should be avoided).
