Working with a group of students raising funds for a trip next year. With christmas looming has anybody sold a food product sucessfully for profit.Have a local bakery that we could approach and plenty of students to promote and get orders- just need the right item- are christams themed biscuits worth it!

why not do xmas cakes, ask around a few people and see if they would like their xmas cake made for them, it doesnt have to have the marzipan icing can just have glazed fruit and is a lovely way of giving the xmas spirit

Get your band of students cracking and make cheese rolls, they usually sell like hot cakes, frozen of fresh

We've done cheeserolls. and truffles are popular at christmas time.

truffles. Not difficult to make and they really sell well. Package them prettily, and take pre-orders. I have even done mini christmas pud truffles which look amazing dipped in white choc at the top, and decorated with a tiny holly sprig.
Christmas themed biccies are okay, but they need to be well sealed (heat sealed preferably) as they don't keep long. A recipe I would recomend for those is the Edmonds shrewsbury or lemon star biccie recipe.
Another goodie is home made xmas mince pies, or mini pavlovas. Good luck!

The thing which I found which offers the best cost/ profit ratio is fudge. E.g.Russian fudge: Costs about $4 per batch, cut into 48 squares, serving six pieces per bag, sell for $3.50

You could make a large square xmas cake and then cut into four small ones, wrapped in cellophane with pretty ribbon. I do this and give them as gifts. Also fudge cut into large bars and well wrapped looks good too.

A simple no-fail idea is mini-puddings made from Mallowpuffs, with a drizzle of melted white chocolate and a sliver of green and red cherry on top.

We've done gingerbread people before and they sell really well.

Christmas Tree gingerbread shapes are good too, with a hole poked in the dough with a straw before cooking for hanging on the tree (with piped icing and wrapped).
