we are doing a cookie party. Where the guest buy there kits (they are getting a stone, the stone rack, cookie press, spautla) everything is $80.00 that is with tax. the host told me she would pay shipping if we put it all on one order. I told her no problem. We are going to make cookies daugh and put it in the press and make cookies we are doing it from 12-5. then i am doing a kitchen show and showing the new season items and then play games or something else (host will like to pick) then if there is any order add them up and give out totals get money then go home.
 
It could be just me...but that seems like a long time...
 
That is quite a bit of time. Are they ordering their kits before hand and using them at the show? Or, are you just demo'ing one batch in front of them??
 
I would make the cookie press class the kitchen show talk about the new products while you are making them. Demo/teach them how to make a few kinds of cookies. Let your host pick out a few games if she would like to.

There is lots of great info on the cookie press and recipe just do a search.

There is a game book posted in the files section if you need game ideas?

Here is all the info I have on a cookie showI have gathered it from here and there. Hope you can use some of it. I know the outline is from Nancy Jo Ryan. I am sure you could play with some of the stuff to suit your needs. HTH

How did you get people for this? Did they pay the host beforehand? It sounds like a neat idea, but I'd be afraid I'd be stuck with extra "cookie kits."

How can I ensure my cookie party is successful?

To ensure your cookie party is successful, start by choosing a date and time that works for most of your guests. Send out invitations well in advance and provide clear details about what to bring. Prepare a variety of cookie recipes to cater to different tastes, and consider organizing activities or games to keep the energy high. Lastly, create a warm and inviting atmosphere to make everyone feel comfortable.

What supplies do I need for a cookie party?
