I have done this at 3 shows in October and 3 shows in Nov and it is a really big hit! I know it is in the SB fall/winter 2002, but I have attached it. It shows almost $300 in products and is SOOOOO yummy. With this I have done the "magic" pumpkin spice cake in the flute pan in the microwave. (For that just a box of spice cake mix, 3 eggs and a can of pumpkin pie filling; mix well and microwave on high 14 minutes).

Just an idea for your next brunch!
