I did itI did it and it was successful. Thank you all for your help. I did the spicy prawn cups. I baked the tortilla cups in the deluxe mini muffin pan before hand and just showed the guests how to do one. Then everything else is just chopping and talking and smiling. They loved it and I...
My host has just called to tell me that my show time cannot exceed an hour and a half, that includes clearing up time and getting everyone out - the hall has been double booked. I can get in to set up before hand though. How on earth am I going to demo, take orders, take bookings etc and clear...
Holding stock for craft fairsI'm in exactly the same position. I have lots of christmas craft fairs booked. I did one last weekend and although I did manage to get a few bookings, I felt that people wanted to buy something on the day and not wait for orders, plus if it was me I might be...
Thank you so much. We have done the amazing races already (great success). The PC Bingo sounds good, I love the idea of cutting out the pictures from old catalogues, gives me an opportunity to do the sales talk again too! I also thought about charging them for a taste of a recipe?
Hi. I need some ideas for fundraising games (or similar) which involve PC products. I am doing a fundraiser at home and have guaranteed 30 guests but it has spiralled a little out of control and they don't want a cooking show, they just want to play games etc. Do any of you have any ideas of...
The mandoline is very unpopular with my customers. A friend of mine was considering buying the mandoline so as she was a friend I suggested she borrow mine for a month to see how she got on. This would also provide me with an accurate assessment of its benefits. She was delighted. However...
These sound great. I'm a little limited here in England, we don't get refrigerator dough etc or frozen cream plus we haven't got the trifle stuff. However - there is nothing stopping me improvising and I certainly appreciate your help. Chocolate is a definite. I'll let you know how I get...
Hi. My show on Thursday is a small affair so the host is hoping to just offer soft drinks and for me to make a cake or something similar. Problem is all the recipes I've looked at don't seem to demonstrate many of the products. Also I won't have access to my muffin pan so muffins are out. I...
"truffles"? That sounds interesting. Do you have the recipe? It's not in any of my books (I know we have slightly different products over here in england so assume the books are slightly different too. Thanks
Thank You AllI pop out for a few hours and it seems the whole of America has been active helping me solve my little difficulty. Thank you all so much. This is a fabulous forum. I don't eat at shows, however I have become a completely obsessive cook, scouring through recipes and presenting my...
I love all the pampered chef recipes but, let's be honest, they're not exactly good for you. My hosts are screaming out for healthy, low fat recipes with the WOW factor (Is that possible). I don't have the cook books yet as I am only in my second month. I've gained 16 pounds myself in the...
This is my first post. I'm a consultant in England. I ALWAYS do Yorkshire Puddings at my shows and ALWAYS sell lots of stoneware. They are WOW for demonstration purposes. They are so quick I do them alongside another quick recipe like the Hot Broccoli Dip. I too am looking for a new WOW...
