Feb Sprinkles Showcase: Entice Guests with Warm Cinnamon Rolls and More!

[augmommychef]

I don't know if this has been addressed but I was just listening to Jane Miller's "Let's Talk Promotions" and she suggested to make warm cinnamon rolls at your Feb. shows to showcase the sprinkles. Do we have a PC cinnamon rolls recipe? If so, can anyone share? How else would you showcase the sprinkles so guests would be enticed to spend $60 or more? Any advise appreciated!

I posted this thread awhile back.

I'm very new, but I saw on here where someone made some dips using each one with pretzels and that it goes over very well.

I posted a file a while ago that gives ideas on what could be made with the sprinkles. You should be able to find it if you go to files and then type in Sprinkles. Or go to Search and type in sprinkles, there should be numerous threads that talk about using them.On the bottle of the sprinkles I think it has the recipe to make the cinnamon rolls. Also, you can follow the recipe for the garlic bites and use brown sugar and the sprinkles instead of using garlic, parmesan, and Italian seasoning.

I highly recommend the sprinkles dip, as you can make one batch and show all 3 flavors of sprinkles.Mix:
1 8 oz. cream cheese, softened
1 7 oz. jar marshmallow cremeSplit into thirds, and put 1 tablespoon of sweet sprinkles into each third. Serve with pretzels, graham cracker sticks or apple wedges in the trio bowl.

I knew there was an awesome use for the trio bowl...hehehe. This recipe sounds YUMMY. I gotta try it! Not to mention letting the guests sample it, while you are making something else.

I forgot to include that it looks really cute with the trio bowl set in the middle of the Dots Med. Serving Bowl, with pretzels around it.

I do sprinkles biscuit bites - cheap and easy! People can never get enough of them.

1 can of Grands biscuits
4 tbls. butter
2-3 tbls. brown sugar
2-3 tbls. each of cinnamon and caramel sprinkles

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Melt the butter in 8" or 10" skillet, sprinkle in brown sugar and sprinkles.
Cut Grands biscuits into quarters, arrange in pan and toss to coat.

Bake in oven for 15-18 minutes or until golden on top.

Slide out onto dots medium plate, drizzle any remaining syrup over the top, and serve with small bamboo tongs.

I read somewhere... I think on here, to take crescent rolls, brush with melted butter, sprinkle your choice of sprinkles then roll into crescents and bake. If you need more than 8 you can always cut them down the center with the pizza cutter.

My family loves this! We do the garlic bites a lot too (just last night with the power cooking chili)

 

[lacychef]

I second Ann's dip idea! I have made it several times since you first posted that, & it's always been a hit! Good with apple wedges too.

I am doing something different to promote the sprinkles. My host wants a Valentine's theme so we are doing the Warm Nutty Caramel Brownies. I am using the heart shaped creative cutters to cut the brownies into hearts and serving them with vanilla ice cream. The guests can try the sprinkles on top of the ice cream. The host is also serving hot chocolate as her beverage so they can try the sprinkles in there, too.
For my ticket game I am giving them Hershey's kisses (in Valentine's colors) instead of tickets. It's going to be cute!

Ok....I'll be honest - I wouldn't "showcase" the sprinkles.

What I would showcase is higher priced items - the DCB, the cookware, the knives. Something that people see a "need" for and can see themselves using. Rather than focusing on the "spend $60 to get this $10 item free" why not focus on our wonderful higher priced items that can really benefit them in the kitchen, and oh yea, by the way when you spend $60 you'll get the sprinkles for free.

OUH, what a Fantastic Idea!!! I LOVE it and will have borrow it at my next Feb show! thanks!

I use the Carmel Sprinkles on the Mini Apple Tartlets I think I have probably sold more that way.

I put this together, but with my new(er) computer could only transfer from my old with a .rtf file, which we can't upload, but anyway, this combines a ton of ideas from previous threads and this thread. I'm printing out 1 side and other side is "Cool Tools for Under $10" to give to my Feb. Guests :thumbup: (Copy and Paste then add graphics and wayla!)
