City governments across the country are cracking down on school bake sales, deeming excess calories, sugar and fat detrimental to the health of the nation's youth. In some districts, home-baked desserts are disallowed, as they don't have nutritional info easily available, but pre-packaged snacks are still on the menu.

Proponents argue that bake sales are an American institution -- a wonderfully homespun moneymaker, a great opportunity for parent-kid bonding, a chance to show off kitchen skills and a great way to share treasured family recipes.

Please share your sweetest stories of bake sales past and present, as well as your best go-to recipe for bake sale goodies that sell out in a second. We'd love:

--Video or written anecdotes

--Video or written recipes. If a video, consider making the treat on-camera.

--Photos of your masterpiece, along with a story or recipe
