What is dessert: Definition and 200 Discussions

I wanted to try this recipe last night. However, I could not find the refrigerated sugar cookie dough anywhere (tried my local grocery store, Safeway, Walmart, Superstore, Sobey's - has anyone is Canada been able to find this??) so I substituted Betty Crocker's Sugar Cookie mix (you add...

Help!! My host wants a dessert recipe for her party, she has the large round stone. She wants something berry. Anyone have any ideas? Thanks, Sarah

Oh my goodness. Have you looked through those recipes?!! I think I should teach monthly classes at my house and do those recipes! They look gorgeous and so yummy!

I've volunteered to take a dessert for a funeral dinner at church tomorrow. Now I can't think of anything good to take. Here's the criteria: It must not need refrigeration or heating. I'll be dropping off the dish a few hours before the funeral starts. It must be quick. I'll need to make...

I usually do a main dish for demo and stick to the same recipe for the month, but I have a repeat hostess next weekend and she is my only show that weekend so I'm willing to bend. :) She wants a dessert, preferably chocolate. What is your favorite dessert demo? I WILL be doing the lava...

Preferably without nuts or where nuts can easily be left out. I'm looking for new ideas, it seems like a lot of the dessert recipes don't use a lot of products. I don't have any of the skillets so I can't do a skillet cake unless I borrow one from my director, I do have the DCB, a stoneware...

Hello! A hostess of mine has requested a Mexican themed party. We have everything picked out except for the dessert. This will be made ahead of time and not as part of the show (except maybe the finishing touches). We are having Easy Enchiladas and Margaritas, chips and salsa (plus...

I was talking with my sister yesterday about our menus for our get togethers. We decided that I would bring dessert. We have one Christmas Day and another the next day at the same place. So I was trying to think of things that I could bake once and either make a double batch or possibly have...

I had a guest at my Sunday show book for this coming Sunday, I've never had such a quick turn around. I've only been using the DCB at shows, but she wants a desserts only show. I've looked through several recipes, but I'm wanting something to demo that uses lots of products and is really...

For Thanksgiving I offered to make an apple pie but also some other type of non-pie dessert. I was thinking of making a Trifle of some kind, but my mom said she's tight on fridge space and would rather I not bring a trifle. So, what do you think would be a great dessert to bring that's really...

Using maybe the large stoneware bar pan, or mini muffin pan? Unfortunately I don't have a skillet I can use for the skillet cakes... I can't use the DCB because I'm using that for my main demo. This is going to be a big show, and the hostess wants a dessert, too, so I thought we could...

Hi all, I know you all will be so glad when I'm done helping with this bake sale, I know, but While I was there, a gentleman (actually a resident) came up to table and asked me, "oh did YOU bring me anything I can eat and help this awesome cause??" I said "well I brought Pumpkin Rolls...

Okay what are some more recipes for desserts in the DCB??? I know the apple cherry crisp and the bread pudding ones.... what else?

Ok, so I've scheduled my first "official" party. :) She's decided to do a "try it & buy it" show and I've offered to bring the food. I gave her some options and she hasn't decided what she wants, doesn't really care, etc..... So I want to do an app, an entree, and a desert. I'll be...

My host just let me know she wants a dessert party for this friday night, but I never did a dessert party...Any suggestions? I was thinking the molten lava cake and maybe the mini carrot cakes? Don't know how I would demo them though?! Any help would be greatly appreciated! TIA :chef:

Hi - I have a show in a month Saturday night at 7 pm, I would like to do a dessert. I am quite new so I mostly only have the starter kit products, but I could probably borrow most anything from my director if I needed to. I'm thinking about the taffy apple tartlets which are in the latest...

ideas? Oct 23 feeding for a soup kitchen - I get reimbursed. I will be doing Western Bean Soup as a main dish. Orange ice cream dessert cups would be easy, but maybe something better - Cheffers... ideas? This is not a PC event, something I am doing through church. Dessert for 70 people...

I have a host that is wanting me to make a recipe that she had "a long time ago" at a show. The base was sugar cookie pre-made dough, and it sounded like frosting, etc.? All I've seen is yogurt and fruit added? Any suggestions? I'm thinking I'm going to turn her around to the choc. molten...

Hi I would like some suggestions for a dessert recipe for an upcoming show. the host does not have a microwave. I would like to use stoneware because of the guest special for Sept. Any ideas?? Thanks Diane

I've got a show Thursday night and it looks like there will be quite a few people there, so I'd like to bring a dessert (or sweet snack) for people to eat after the show. The only issue is I work 7am-5pm and the show is 45 minutes away and I need to be there at 6:30, so I have zero time to do...

I need help thinking of a dessert that I can donate to a local fundraising auction. It will be prepared ahead of time and will be sitting out at the event so people can see it. I want it to be impressive even though I am donating it I figured I can still slap on a typed up recipe and a business...

I'm getting ready for my first show! I'm going to make fajitas and the pass-around pineapple salsa. I am borrowing the salad choppers from my recruiter. My show is a co-worker and there will be a few people from work coming - so I offered to bring a dessert that I plan on making ahead at...

I'm doing a shower soon and we won't have access to a microwave or an oven. I could do something that would require baking a crust or brownies ahead of time but that's about it. I was hoping to do the Fruit-Topped Triple Chocolate Pizza but you need the microwave. She really liked this...

Several years ago we had a recipe for a dessert pizza that looked like a flag. I can't find the recipe anywhere. I looked thru the recipe files and couldn't find it there. Does anyone have it? I have a show Tuesday and that is what they want. I am hoping someone can post it here or email it...

I'm looking for a dessert recipe to demo for a group of 20+, that will appeal to both male and female guests. My hostess would like to use seasonal fruit, loves to bake, and all the men are cooks who are very interested in the knives. I am not really into sweets and do not have very much...

I am looking for a dessert recipe to make in the Deep Covered Baker in the microwave. Can anyone share please?

I've been asked to bring dessert for Father's Day for 15. It can't have nuts, chocolate or strawberries due to different allergies so I'm stumped and looking for ideas. My favorites are any of the trifles or the strawberry amaretto pastries but obviously can't do either of those. Anyone have...

I have a show next week with a hostess who has been to and hosted several shows with me over the past few years. In the past we have always done appetizers or main dishes which I found easy to adjust but I'm having trouble coming up with a gluten free dessert? Anyone have any ideas? Also...

I need a shower dessert for 25. Anybody have a sure fire hit that kind of fits the theme?
