The Baking Club met today

Tweet

We meet every other Monday after school. We've made caramel apples, decorated cupcakes twice, and today they decorated gingerbread houses. I ordered kits that came with pre-baked house pieces and pre-measured amounts of icing and decorations. They seemed to enjoy it. 2 of them eventually fell apart but they handled it fine. They still took the decorated house pieces home to eat. The supervisor saw students walking through the building with them so he stopped by to see what everyone was doing. I finally heard back from the teacher in charge of the general accounts for teams/clubs. I had emailed to ask how much $$ we had in the account. She told me at the beginning of the year that the former advisor left money in it. I've just been careful to not spend more on a project than what we've earned in the bake sales so far. Well we have $819! Wow! I will be reimbursed for the gingerbread kits so it will be closer to $700 when all is said and done. I was NOT expecting to have that much available. And we have another bake sale this Friday! I don't even know what to do with that much money. I'll definitely get an electric kettle for when we make marshmallows so they can have hot chocolate with them. It would be cool to have t-shirts made. I have no clue how to go about doing that but I know enough other advisors who do so they can tell me what to do. We shall see.
