Has anyone tried to do these in a fluted stone rather than the prep bowls? I have a large party and I don't want to make 30 small cakes.

I don't have any cookware yet but I may try to borrow one, that's a great idea!

My HWC host would prefer that we have the food prepared and that we set up some 'try me' stations to let her guests sample the products they are interested in... now I've got a couple ideas but need some more. What's your best 'try me' suggestion? Here are mine so far: food chopper and some...

So it's been a busy few weeks, my youngest son (16 months) got a gnarly stomach bug at the end of August that left him in the hospital for 4 days with dehydration. While he was in there my husband and 3 year old got the bug also. Now, this was no regular bug, this was a stinkin super bug... By...

Thanks for all the info! I'm actually glad I didn't have anything booked, we just spent a week with our 1 year old in the hospital with a terrible stomach virus that he has now given to all of us. Had I had anything scheduled it would surely have been cancelled. I have one show booked for...

And I am offended by the comment 'Just because she's not interested in PC doesn't mean she is not a human being with feelings and can be discarded.' Her lack of interest in PC is not why I discarded her, it was the fact that she lied to me, I have no room in my life for liars. No matter what...

This isn't about sharing her faith with me or even her age, it's the fact that she pretended to be interested in Pampered Chef in order to get to talk to me. She isn't a widow, she isn't lonley, she has tons of family in the area, so that's not the case. She lied to me, plain and simple and...

I'm sinking in cooking shows, all I have for August is 3 PYB shows. I am having so much trouble getting bookings. I'm following up on leads and making my phone calls, emails, letters, carrying my PC stuff... any ideas? I thought of printing up some 'Free Cooking Show Coupons' and leaving them...

The other thread is getting really long so I wanted to post what has worked for me. I gave the shop owners a choice of keeping their benefits or dividing them up. My host has combined the orders of her employees on her own order and we just put the benefits towards that, she wrote me a check and...

My first one grossed $600 in commissionable sales, the show was almost $1000 but most of that was for the host's order. All of my ladies have been keeping their show going for 2 weeks. That's seemed to really help in boosting sales. Just a tip, it may work for you to have your show go...

I just got my 3rd booking from my letters and I have another who's getting approval! Do those follow up calls and at least they have a heads up when they receive the letter!

that's true. Next time she calls I'll tell her that. I don't want to provoke her into showing up in my drive way.

We talked at length the first time and she said she doesn't work, just stays home in her garden so unless she's lieing then she isn't trying ot recruit me. In this area we have a lot of pusy christians, that being said, please do not take offence, I myself am a christian and have a very strong...

I gave my card to a woman who approached me in Crispers to compliment my hair, she seemed harmless, she's about 66 years old. Anyway, she called, pretending to be interested in PC and started chatting me up, everything, what does my hubby do, are my parents/grandparents living, how old are my...

I targeted hair salons. I figured it's a place where lots of women go in and sit in a chair for an hour or more with nothing to look at, why not put my catalog in their hands.
