To be annoyed at school over this?

[OnALosingSpree]

Primary school had a bake sale for St Patrick's day. DD (8) saw some really elaborate cupcakes last month and asked if we could make them. I ended up buying guide a lot of things to make them (lots more than the 50p per cake they sell them for ) but she really wanted to make them for her friends to buy.

We made them and they looked awesome. She was so excited taking them in and the teachers were really impressed. All the kids were telling DD they were definitely buying guide one of her cakes! She was really proud.

So there was an assembly and parent thing in the morning. I couldn't attend so exH went.

My cakes were given to the parents! And teachers! They all ate them at the 'gathering' after the assembly.

AIBU to be annoyed that I spent about 4 hours making cakes for DDs friends for them to be eaten by teachers and parents and the kids not get a chance to have one?!

Also I sent the cakes in 2 plastic cake carriers and they lost the lid!

you are to be congratulated, clearly the staff of your daughter's school have observed your clean and orderly habits, your daughters exemplary use of a tissue, her hand washing techniques and lack of nits. You have met the important Staffroom Health And Safety (Baking Division) Criteria and food produced and donated from your home is deemed safe. You should ask the office for the five star "score on the door" sticker for your kitchen door.

Yanbu. Very selfish of the teachers to take the nicest cakes for their meeting which you had made for the sale! I'm livid on your behalf. It's irrelevant whether they paid for them or not; the cakes were made to be put up for sale to the public!

I'd be trying to find out if they paid for them.. after all.. charity was the whole point of the sale, wasn't it? If they hadn't, I would be more than a bit annoyed. It's presumptuous.

This could potentially happen at our school, and totally innocently. They do a cake sale for Macmillan- starting with a coffee morning so parents etc can pay to come in after dropping their children off for coffee and a cake. Some parents buy a few cakes to take some home too. The 'best' cakes could all be taken at this coffee morning. Next, the children come in to buy a cake each. So a child could easily come in looking for their own cakes to find they're all gone already or even that they haven't been out out yet (as there's not space for everything to be laid out on the tables, so some are kept behind to refill spaces as things sell.) Then any cakes leftover are sold at the end of the day.

YABU and a bit ridiculous.
If you donate cakes to a cake sale, you can't dictate that only certain people can buy them.
If it raised money for the charity, it doesnt matter who buys them.

Oh, and tip for the future. When sending cakes into school (or any other cake sale), send them in an old chocolates tin and not your best tupperware.

Yes what does "buying guide" mean?
