Bake sale sign-up sheet
Bakers say what and how much they'll bring, and helpers claim a table shift.
What's inside
Each table shift takes three helpers and then shows as full; only helpers are asked for a phone.

Planning a bake sale that sells out
Add up the pieces before the day. A school bake sale sells around 300 to 400 pieces in a morning, so 30 bakers with a dozen each is about right.
The nut question lets you put nut-free items on their own table with a sign. Parents of allergic kids buy there first.
Two table shifts of three people cover a four-hour sale. Bakers who only bake pick Baking only and give no phone.
Bake sale sign-up questions
How do I stop too many people signing up for one shift?
Each table shift has three places. When they're taken, the shift shows as full and the next helper picks the other one or Baking only. For a bigger sale, give the early shift four places, since the first two hours bring most buyers. Helpers are asked for a phone, so you can text a reminder the night before.
Can I see the total number of pieces?
Yes. Export the replies to a spreadsheet and sum the pieces column. Do it on Thursday so you still have time to ask for more cookies. Each baker gives between six and 120 pieces, so one big tray can tip the total. Check the nut-free count as well, and ask a couple of bakers to switch recipes if it looks thin.
Can I use it for a church or club bake sale?
Yes. Change the intro and the times. The questions work the same for a PTA, a church fair or a club fundraiser. Rename the table shifts to your sale hours and set the places to the helpers you need. For a sale after a Sunday service, set the drop-off time before the service starts.
