The Adventures of lily (lily's bakery)

It was a hot summer day when lily and her friend Ellie were sitting in their math class when their class teacher, miss Bella walked in with a face full of excitement "we are starting a fundraiser!" she exclaimed. "what is a fundraiser?" asked Ellie "great question, in the fundraiser kids in the school will do various different types of hustles to collect some money for a charity" miss Bella explained to the class. "the fundraiser will go on for two weeks, all of you students can list your hobbies and give them to me by the end of the day so I can help you with how you can start a hustle with it" As soon as she ended talking the bell rang and it was break time.

In the break, Lily and Ellie were discussing what they could do to make some bucks for the fundraiser. "I could sell some cupcakes" exclaimed lily. "My mom is a pretty good baker, she can make some for us and we could sell them to raise some money" Ellie advised. They both settled on the idea and went to miss Bella who was in the staffroom. She really liked the idea but said that they would have to bake the cupcakes themselves as using the help of parents was strictly not allowed in the rules.

The girls decided to meet the next day at 10 in the morning as it was a weekend. They took a seat in the kitchen and started to bake with the help of a cookbook.

They first added cocoa powder

then they added some baking powder

then some milk and vegetable oil

and finally some vanilla essence

After baking, they decorated the cupcakes with some powdered sugar sprinkles and some Oreos. Just like this, the first batch of oreo chocolate cupcakes was ready.

The girls wanted to make three different flavours of cupcakes and even some chocolate cookies as well. The flavours were the chocolate oreo cupcake, The vanilla muffin and the strawberry frosting. The girls then started making the vanilla muffins (which were the easiest to make. Then after a break, they made the strawberry frosting ones but messed up on the frosting part so they had to see a youtube tutorial for it. It took them 4 hours to bake all the cupcakes.

When they were done baking the cupcakes and the cookies it was time to price the items. They decided to sell the muffin and frosting cupcakes for 2$ dollars each and the oreo ones for 2.50$. The cookies were 5$ for a pack of six. as Lilly was good at arts and crafts she made some cardboard boxes to put the items in.

The girls then took a good night sleep because on Monday their journey was about to start.

Chapter two: The sales girls

---

After the first two lessons in school, it was time for the fundraiser activity. The girls first went to the art teacher and got some art supplies to make a poster which Ellie would hold as Lily would go to each house in the neighbourhood to sell the items.

At nine o clock, the girls left the school to go to the streets of hilltown. when lily pressed the bell of the first house, a woman in her late fifties answered. "Hey, we were thinking if you could buy something from us as our school is doing a ..... Even before Lily could finish, the woman banged the door on her with no interest in buying anything.

The girls were a little disheartened after the first incident with the lady. They then went to a house full of plants. There were two giant money plants in front of the main door. Flowers could also be seen in the room on the second floor with the help of a window. Lily went ahead and knocked on the door and another woman in her late 50s came out but this time, the woman was really supportive and bought two oreo cupcakes, a strawberry and a pack of cookies. They made 12$ from the sale.

The girls third customer was a 21-year-old man with blond hair and wheat skin, he also bought a pack of cookies and a muffin which brought the girls total to 16$. The girls had a target of 100$ to get by the end of the week.

The sun was almost about to set when the girls got their biggest sale yet. A 42-year-old man with his stomach coming out of his shirt because of his severe fatigue. He bought packs of cookies and 3 oreo cupcakes. They made 21$ from just this sale and brought their total to 37$. the girls then went home because tomorrow was gonna be an even longer and more exhausting day.

The next day the girls, as usual, attended their first two periods and set off to the neighbourhood to sell more items. They first went to a house across the street. The woman who opened the door quickly recognized Ellie as she was her aunt. The woman invited the girls in but as they were in a rush they had to decline the offer. The woman ended up buying 5 oreo cupcakes and two packs of cookies which made a total of twenty-two dollars and 5 cents (22.50$). The total money the girls made in the two days were 59$. But unfortunately, the girls didn't make any other sale in the day.

Day three was the best day fr the girls because as soon as they left the school they saw a truck stop by. It was full of factory workers wearing yellow helmets and blue uniforms. All twenty of them bought vanilla cupcakes from Lilli and Ellie. They made a total of 40$ dollars from it and brought the total amount to 99$. just soon after that, the girls sold their last strawberry cupcake. and brought the total to 101$

The girls reached thier target with 4 days to spare. :)
