Looking for cake stall ideas? The cake stand is no doubt the highlight of any school fete or polling booth barbecue! And it’s often a way for school P&Cs and sporting clubs to raise funds. Make your contribution stand out by using one of our time-tested recipes. We’ve gathered together recipes for classic toffees, biscuits, slices, cakes and more.
You’ll also find easy recipes such as our one-bowl butter cake and quick mix orange cake. These can be sold whole or as slices.
If you’re supplying cakes, biscuits or slices for a cake stall, it’s a good idea to list the ingredients at the top of the box, so customers can be alerted to any components that may contain allergens. If baking biscuits or decorating marshmallows, consider packaging these up in clear cellophane bags tied with ribbon, so people can easily see what’s on offer.

What makes a good cake stall idea?
There are a few different approaches to answering this, as you can see from our list of cake stall ideas. You can go for individual items like biscuits and cupcakes. They’re easy to hand out and eat on-the-go. Alternatively, another good cake stall idea is to bake a big slab cake or slice, and then chop it up.
Whatever you decide, just make sure it’s delicious! And, as mentioned earlier, it’s a good idea to label your cake stall items with allergens, to help those with allergies or other dietary requirements.
What are the quickest recipes on this list?
If you’re looking for cake stall ideas that take 30 minutes or less to prepare, we recommend whipping up some classic honey joys, these Anzac biscuits, or our chewy chocolate slice. Alternatively, this marshmallow rice bubble slice takes only 10 minutes to prepare. Pop it in the fridge for 2 hours, and it’s ready to go!
