As global warming threatens the rapid approach of spring this year, students can be sure to see an abundance of bake sales being promoted by a multitude of clubs; whether it is your typical freeing of children type of charity, or a nice array of brownies and cookies made by StuCo.
After the hungry crowds roll out after third lunch, these clubs have no spot to put their delectable leftover treats but the attendance office- ensuring that the tasty treats do not melt or go to waste in a nearby trashcan.
But how are you supposed to know which baked goods to buy? After all, you are spending a dollars worth of babysitting money on these treats- if you don’t get an adequate review of the various cookies, brownies, cupcakes, donuts and all other products sold?
Well that’s where we come in! Holly and Shannon are here to give you the 4-1-1 on all bake sale leftovers to ensure that you get the best experience from every treat sold to you at NCHS, even if they may be from the expired baked goods aisle at ACME. (You’re welcome).
So, without further adieu, here is our first bake sale leftover review of 2016:
I know, I know, the first thing that comes to mind when you see these cookies is “BURNT!” But if you could get past the discriminatory descriptions of baked goods these days, you’d realize that the appearance of a c0okie doesn’t define it. Although they look slightly crispy, they were actually very thick and chewy, and had one of those deep sugary flavors of that of those cut-out Pillsbury cookies (with the little easter bunny or pumpkin on them). Holly and I were fans, and would 10/10 go back for extras. Overall rating: 7/10
These cookies don’t look great (photography is also not flattering), and also didn’t taste great. In this case, you can judge the cookies by their cover- they were a bit overly crispy, just as they look. Would I go back for more? Sure, I’m always hungry. Would they be my baked good of choice? Probably not. Overall rating: 4/10. Sorry guys, these cookies weren’t cutting it.
