To specify where my school bake cakes go?

[Giriffraff]

My daughter LOVES baking. She is always making things. Each year in the bake sale we make awesome cakes and she is super proud of them.

Every year rather than them going to the bake sale and DD being able to sell her cakes to her friends they are given to the parents at the cake morning.

DD is always sad. I tell her that she should be proud that her cakes are so lovely that they want them to be at the parents morning but she really wants her friends to have them.

AIBU to say to the teacher when i hand them over 'can you please make sure DD gets to sell these at lunchtime, and they don't go to the parents tea morning' ?

I'm on our PTA and teachers have more than enough to do so the only opportunity they have to get near the cakes is after school with everyone else. I'm sure it's the same in most schools.

Ye I'm praying and do the bake sales, the teachers always donate and pay and we go home starving cause we don't have time for a bit of cake. And we are extremely grateful to the parents that bake and donate.

Is it that the parents pay more so have the choice of the nicer cakes and then the children can buy whats left at a lower price over lunch time?

Praying!!! Pta, although I do pray to get out of it sometimes

I find it really shocking that parents / kids go to the effort of baking to raise money for the school for the teachers / volunteers to scoff the best ones beforehand.

What are you talking about? The OP said it was parents who got the cakes, not school staff. Read the thread.

Suburban I was referring to subsequent posts where pp said the best cakes never made it out of the staffroom.

So I did, you know, read the thread.

Reduce the quality of your cakes or deccorate them in a very child friendly way so they are sold to the kids.

Why should she do that Jelly?? OP has said her DD loves making good cakes. She shouldn;t need to lower her standards!

OP yanbu. It's quite thoughtless of them to always take hers.
