Here is my next good idea. The anti-bakesale as a fundraising function. First you have a bakesale so that everyone knows how it works. Then you have the anti-bakesale. In which every parent and board member just donates the money that they would spend on ingredients. And then they add in a bonus for the time they do not have to spend baking and wrapping the anti-bakesale items. And then just a little more for the privilege of not having to clean up the kitchen and transport cupcakes. My guess is that the anti-bakesale would be just as, if not more than, successful as the real bakesale.
And then, for those social types who like to sit at a table and solicit donations from passersby, they can set up a table with small paper plates and empty cupcake papers. And passersby can make donations based on the number of calories they are not consuming. Anti-cookies would be $1.35 because you are not eating 135 calories you do not need just to support a good cause. I'm thinking that an anti-loaf of banana nut bread might go for $15.00. And you can run the anti-bakesale for several days in a row, or every other Monday, because anti-baked goods don't get stale or grow mold.
Genius. And I'm just giving this idea away for free.
