"Dipping for Dummies" FondueHow about a "Dipping for Dummies" class (Windows for Dummies, etc).
In an old KCN, it had historical info and origins of Fondue. I'm sure an internet search would achieve the same results. Include some of these facts during your show.
As with Sip 'n Dip shows, most of the prep work is done in advance, so it makes for an easy demo that can still show lot's of tools quickly. There are lots of fondue and dip recipes that can be modified under consultant's corner.

I have actually done a Fondue-themed show before and it was a lot of fun! My friend and I decided to do a "Fondue Friday" where we invited a few friends over to try different types of fondue dishes. We had a traditional cheese fondue, a chocolate fondue for dessert, and even a hot oil fondue for cooking meats. It was a hit and everyone had a great time. My advice would be to make sure you have a variety of dipping options and to have plenty of skewers and fondue pots available. Also, don't be afraid to get creative with your fondue recipes – we even tried a beer and cheese fondue that turned out surprisingly delicious. Good luck with your show!
