Fairly Urgent---Need Help for This Weekend's Show

[Nanisu]

I am doing a Valentine's theme show for a friend--she has 12 coming, and I thought about doing 3 stations: 1 for cupcakes (I would pre-bake and they could decorate), 1 for candy (2 step fudge with 2 different flavors of chips and frosting poured into heart molds I bought at Target), and 1 for cookies (using the --gulp--cookie press) that they could press out and sprinkle before they bake. Here's my question: I want to highlight the sprinkles because they are the guest special for Feb--do you think they would be ok on the cookies?

They're tasty on cookies.

I use them on everyting hot. The Caramel and the Cinnamon work well on pies after they come out of the oven though. And Cookies would be dynamite! I'm with Rae - YUM!

 

[Nanisu]

Do you use both on the cookies do you think? And should they sprinkle after they come out or before they go in, like normal sprinkles?

 

[AnnieBee]

The whole show sounds AWESOME! And sprinkles on the cookies? Yum, yum and YUM! What great ideas .

 

[pamperedpals]

I would do them after they came out while still warm.

 

[raebates]

I've done them before they go in. I've also done them on top of frosted cookies after they come out. Cinnamon and caramel work really well. I haven't tried the mocha hazelnut, but I imagine they'd be good, too.

Hey, where is this show? Maybe I can come and help eat everything - uh, I mean help you. That's what I meant - really!

Ok, so I got my head around this and this is how I will be doing it:

Start with the 2 step fudge in the BB in the microwave, mix it (have audience participation), and then cool in refrig. Doing two kinds: chocolate/chocolate frosting and butterscotch/vanilla frosting. Should take about 10 min to cool in refrig. While it is cooling, do my intro, thank hostess/ bookings slide, etc. Take it out of the refrig and load into 2 EAD's with star tips. Metal Sheet pan has been chilling in freezer. Take it out and load it with parchment paper. Tools shown: BBowls, scrapers, MCooker and Measuring cups.

Break them into three stations. Station # 1 will be cookies with the cookie press, pressed and sprinkled with cute sprinkles I got at Target and also our sprinkles since they are the guest special. Tools shown: pinch bowls, cookie press, scrapers, Rectangle stones, misc. tools

Station # 2 will be mini-cupcakes done in the MMP that I have pre-baked--they can decorate them any number of ways with the decorator bottles and sprinkles, etc. Tools shown: MMPan, more pinch bowls, decorator bottles, sprinkles

Station # 3 will be candy--kisses pressed out with the EAD and candy melts melted in the microwave and poured into heart molds from Target then chilled. Tools shown: BBowls, EAD, sheet pans, parchment paper.

When they have finished bring them all into the living room for a quick catalog tour and bookings talk, recruiting talk, PDS/prize drawings...talk about theme shows since we just did one.

Have I forgotten anything? What do you all think? I thought I would rotate them through each station if they want to, if it doesn't take too much time....yes? No?

I think this might be fun.....
