Our Spring Bake Sale Will Actually Make You Stop on Sproul

This article is written by a student writer from the Spoon University at UC Berkeley chapter.

Sproul Plaza is a unique setting that breeds a special type of student here in Berkeley. Earbuds in, lack of eye contact, these are the signs of an experienced walker who has been trained to resist typical fundraiser treats like In-N-Out burgers and Krispy Kreme doughnuts. However, we’re bringing some big players to this spring’s bake sale

Our fresh homemade goods are the exact kind of pick-me-up treat to boost your motivation in the last stretches before Spring Break. Basic? No way. The unique recipes we use are unlike your average baked goods, and they’re only available for a limited time on Monday, March 19 from 10:30 am to 4 pm. Make sure to stop by our table on Sproul Plaza before they run out! And who needs another excuse to delay their walk to class?

Here’s a Sneak Peek:

Bake Sale

We’ve brought back some of our most popular best-sellers that have been proven to attract even the busiest students from making their way across campus. When a group of foodies come together to bake, you can guarantee that each item is made with care (and, of course, are delicious).

Red Wine Brownies

Start your Spring Break celebration early with these red wine infused brownies. It’s the most classy way to enjoy a brownie without the fear of walking into class slightly tipsy in a not-so-classy manner. 

#SpoonTip: These ran out first during our last bake sale, so make sure to come early if you want to try this popular treat!

Eggless Chocolate Chip Cookies

“A little cookie never killed nobody.” At least, I think that’s how the quote goes. Regardless, there’s no resisting this classic chocolate chip flavor with a twist on the recipe. To make the most out of this fan-favorite, use these cookies as the perfect study snack pairing when dunked in your coffee, like with Trader Joe’s Chocolate Chip Cookie Dunkers.

#SpoonTip: If you make this recipe at home, you can safely eat the dough raw.

Slutty Brownies

For all the indecisive people, have a sigh of relief. Even though trying to tackle multiple assignments at once isn’t the most efficient method to succeed, that rule doesn’t necessarily apply to the slutty brownie. In the most perfect combination, this merger of brownie, cookie, and Oreo cookies will make you wish your group projects worked this well too.  

Banana Bread

Our take on banana bread checks off all the items on your list. Soft, cake-like texture? Check. Satisfyingly sweet banana flavor? You bet. And trust us when we say that it is 100% delicious. A slice of this wonderfully fluffy loaf is sure to lift your spirits amidst the fact that your workload isn’t nearly as light as this bread.

With the continuation of midterm season, there’s no better time for a pick-me-up. Start off your week in the most delicious way possible and stop by our bake sale this Monday, March 19 from 10:30 am to 4 pm! Everyone knows that homemade treats are always the way to go, and we’re here to save the day.
