Today, Utah State University’s Agriculture Communications Club held its annual bake sale from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. on the Taggart Student Center patio. This year the club added hot chocolate to the bake sale, which gained more customers. The club received more donations this year including new muffin flavors, frosted “sweetcake” cookies and the most popular, new red velvet cake balls with peppermint sprinkles.
“The cake balls were a total hit this year and something we haven’t had donated in the past,” said Katie Chadwick, Agriculture Communications Club member and bake sale volunteer. “They have been a top seller, along with our hot chocolate. We added the hot cocoa this year because we wanted to add something warm and appealing to this cold weather.”
The club gathers donations of home-made baked goods from students, and packages them to sell.
The club sold the baked goods and hot chocolate at prices ranging from $1 to $3.
The club holds its bake sale every year to raise money. The proceeds help Agriculture Communication Club members go to Ag Media Summit, a conference held in the summer for ag journalism students.
Club member Emma Lane is a freshman and this was her first bake sale.
“I’ve actually never done this bake sale before,” Lane said. “So I’m not that much help but I’m learning. I’m having fun.”
