I love the Tuxedo Brownie cups for the shower playing on the formal theme.

Alot of the time for bridal showers they are serving so much more food that you don't really need to worry about how much you are making. A trifle can serve a lot of people and can make a great presentation recipe.

Ahead of time, you could make up Tuxedo Strawberries...

dip front of berry in white chocolate, set aside to harden.

dip angled side of berry in brown (or dark) chocolate, set aside to harden.

dip angled other side of berry in brown chocolate, set aside.

with a cake tester or toothpick, dot in the dark chocolate to make buttons up the white shirt - usually 2 or 3 buttons.

with a cake tester or toothpick, paint on a bow tie. Done!

I'd take advantage of big confirmed numbers to do a wow recipe like 12 minute 3-2-1 cake or 30 min roast chicken, plus would definitely demo cookware with Garlic Bites or Turtle Skillet Fudge Cake.

I have been doing Trifles for Bridal showers. I actually have the BRIDE do the recipe in front of them if they want a demo since people are there to stare at her, not me. I'll talk while she can do the very simple tasks. It looks beautiful and impressive regardless of talent so it's been a big hit. Plus, the bowl is practically licked clean at the end :). If your is the only desert being served, then you may suggest that they have more if they don't think yours with be enough. Or you can do two trifles if you have 2 bowls. I've done this (borrow one).
