Celebrating a Breast Cancer Remission: Ideas for HWC Party

[KCPChef]

Hello. I need some help here... I hav a customer who booked a party for May for HWC. Her mother is currently in remission for Breast Cancer so we really wanted it to be a celebration of sorts for her. Any ideas? I have never done a HWC show and wanted to make it AWESOME for her!!!! She does not like strawberries, so I am trying to figure out a recipe to so. Has anything worked really well for you all in the past? Any ideas are welcome! Thanks so much for your help!!

You could just decorate in pink, wear pink, encourage the guests to all wear pink (get a prize if you wear pink), then do a regular show. If you make the Mango Confetti Salsa, it looks kinda pink once it's made. But you could instead research foods that are good for building up strength, etc while going through cancer treatment (high in antioxodines, good proteins, etc). Then, make something delicious from those foods. It'd give you info to pass on and show your concern. Last year I did the "Tata trivia game" where I got about 12 cancer related facts, made mention of them through out the show then at the end everyone got a true/false trivia quiz. I had a prize for everyone that got all the answers correct (pink twixit clips, too bad they don't have those this year).

I do a TON of HWC shows in May because I am a survivor. I have everyone wear pink, I give pink prizes (the HWC pin or I hit the $1 place at Target for pink things), and I make pink food. Anyone old enough to have a mammogram that shows me proof that they had one in the past two months gets free shipping from me. I pass out breast cancer facts from the ACS (you can go online and get them for free), and I tell my story of how during 6 months of chemo every other week I still did PC shows on the off weeks because this is such a fun job--it got me out of the house and I wasn't thinking about how sick I was.

Wow, awesome. You're an inspiration.

Well, being in a family of breast cancer survivors myself, we cope with humor as much as possible... not knowing your relationship with the hostess and yourself, or if it could be deemed offensive or not (my fam would think this was great, and Im totally doing it for October-- breast cancer awareness month), but I'd make a Bra Cake with the Classic and 1 quart batter bowls... Big or small, check them all!!!!

My aunt is a survivor and we are having her remission party May 7th. She is attending her first Relay For Life as a survivor May 6th and I was trying to think of a different cake we could have for her. I LOVE :love: your idea of using the batter bowl......maybe I could do the prep bowls to add them on top of a sheet cake??? Would that look cheesy?

The new lemon cupcake recipe in the new SB looks like boobs. Consider raspberries instead of blackberries

Just looking for a game for a Help Whip Cancer show and came across this... wondered if anyone knows what the Tata Trivia Game was?

Looks like she described it as, "where I got about 12 cancer related facts, made mention of them through out the show then at the end everyone got a true/false trivia quiz. I had a prize for everyone that got all the answers correct..."

The facts shouldn't be hard to find with an online search.
