YUM! YUM! YUM! Mouthwatering, appetizing, tasty cakes that will leave you wanting more after just one bite.

The sophomore, junior, and seniors classes were required to sell Edda’s Bundt cakes in order to raise money for class events like field trips.

For the seniors, the catalogs for the cakes were given out in December and money from pre-sold cakes was collected later on that month.

For the sophomores and juniors the catalogs were given out in February and money was collected later that month.

Edda’s Bundt cakes come in 5 different flavors: vanilla rum, red velvet, triple chocolate, Key lime, and guava. They each cost $16 online, but students sold them for $15 each.

Each class collected a good amount of money. School treasurer Mr. Portuondo says the sophomore class collected $5,940, the juniors collected $7,920, and the seniors collected $10,605.

Junior class Secretary Jean Manco said, “Collecting the money was difficult because we had to count each of the student’s money and make sure it matched the cake order they gave, which by the way, some students didn’t have. We collected at the table in front of the activities office.”

Future class treasurer for the junior class Karina Garcia said, “IT WAS HARD! While the others were getting the names and writing receipts, I was one of the ones counting the money. Having so much money to count with almost each student giving more than $100, I was worrying about misplacing money or miscounting since money came in back to back.”

Students sold different amounts of cakes. Sophomore Joanna Leon sold 6 cakes and collected $90. “I sold them to my parents, sister and a few cousins. The hardest part was convincing them to buy some because they didn’t want to at first,” she said.

Junior Jack Morales sold 4 cakes and collected $60. “I asked my mom to take it to work, which she did, and sold to a few co-workers. The hardest part was reminding my mom to sell because she kept forgetting to do it,” he said.

Senior Paola Martinez sold 8 cakes for $120. “I sold about 3 to my parents because I didn’t think anyone else would buy it from me, but later on a few family friends asked to buy some. It really wasn’t hard for me to sell because they mostly came to me to buy them once they heard about it from my parents,” she said.

There were a few top sellers that stood out in each class. Sophomore Dana Molina sold the most in her class with 21 and collected $315. Junior Kevonna Brown sold the most in her class, 30 cakes, and collected $450. In the senior class, Ana Garcia and Hector Perdomo both sold the most in their class, 13 cakes for $195.

On the other hand, some students didn’t sell any cakes. Junior Jewel Valdez said, “I didn’t know who to sell it to because my parents didn’t want to buy any.”

Senior Marla Ortiz says she didn’t sell any because she sold some last year and heard, incorrectly, she didn’t have to sell them again.

Junior Oswaldo Cruz says selling cakes was too hard. “No one wanted to buy,” he said.

Many students are wondering what happens if they don’t sell. Mr. Portuondo said, “Students are required to sell cakes in order to participate in their senior year activities.”
