“Bake sales are fun...
Not only are they fun.. but many of the Mom really, REALLY outdo themselves (perhaps to show their baking abilities). Homemade brownies (not from a box) are sinful. Same with made from scratch cookies, cupcakes, madeleines, toffee, crumb cakes etc... Many show their ethnic goodies as well. Greek, Italian, Eastern European etc.. It is a great way to sample some goodies you may never have tried before.
