For me the problem is the $10 the donor puts out so that the PTA can
make $2.50. It would be much easier for the donor to just give the PTA a
$2.50 donation than to spend the money on ingredients and do all the
work. I would bet that if the PTA provided the ingredients and parents
volunteered to do the baking they would want to make back more than they
spent.
