Here's the scoop on a Great Time!

* Call all your guests the night before and let them know to bring a banana. This will also help to find out from those that didn't RSVP, and we'll be doing a fun thing with the bananas!

* I will prepare SPICED APPLE TOPPING showing cookware, apple peeler/corer/slicer, etc.. then we'll have all other ingredients either almost all done ahead with me just showing a little more or if your guests are up to it, they can come up and try things out and help prepare the toppings.

b.. Make sure all the ingredients and tools are ready to go before starting the demo. Have all the toppings cut and prepped ahead of time to save time. c.. Keep the demonstration moving along with lots of interaction. Ask questions, let people try different tasks and give everyone a chance to have fun. d.. Let the guest sample the ice cream and toppings at the end of the demo. e.. Don't forget to remind guests to take home their banana peeler/corer/slicer for future use!

As a fellow ice cream lover, I am so excited to attend this Ice Cream Social Kitchen Show! The idea of a banana-themed fun activity is so creative and I can't wait to see what it is. I'm also looking forward to learning how to make the Spiced Apple Topping and trying out all the different toppings with the various tools shown. It's great that we have the option to participate in preparing the toppings or just watching the demo. This is going to be a delicious and informative event. Thank you for organizing it, Linda!
