Cakes & biscuits for MASS catering event?

[oysterpots]

Am foolishly generously opening my house up as a cafe as part of an art trail event soon

I'd like to make a few bits and pieces in the weeks leading up to it and freeze them ready for the weekend itself. Has anyone done anything similar? Or have any ideas for:
:: Baked goods that will freeze
:: Really quick things we could whip up on the day if we run out of things to sell
:: Recipes that scale up well so we can make catering quantities of the same thing in batches

I think we may be expecting a couple of hundred people but we are only opening for 4 hours each day and it's a normal size terraced house, so realistically can't actually fit that many people in (I'm hoping for good weather) - probably 150 each day?

Buy value Tesco scones and serve with jam and cream

Make Lemon Drizzle Cake - freezes well

Mumsnet Banana Bread is dirt cheap and delish. Get friends to save old bananas for you.

Gingerbread biscuits are easy.

Ask friends to save space in their freezer so you can use it to freeze cakes

Fairy cakes are freezable without icing.

You ARE mad though!

We made Easter biscuits to sell fro preschool and frze them. They were fine when they deforsted.
Think my friend made 250.

Most ckaes will freeze, as long as yuo don't ice them. You can ice them when defrosted.

What about refridgerator cake as standby?

I guess gingerbread cookies keep a while too, so could make them few days in advance?

Oooh, yes, scones will go down v well.

Ooh, brilliant! Thanks, I hadn't thought of gingerbread men, that'll definitely be a winner.

And frozen fairy cakes, that sounds good too.

littlerach - did you freeze the easter biscuits before or after cooking them?

tray bakes would be a good idea- make them in roasting tins/trays and cut them into squares. Less fiddly to ice as well

After cooking them.
In plastic boxes.
