Fundraiser Cooking Show- Theme- Recognize Mother's for Md

[accooks13]

Hey ladies,

I just got approached to do a presentation for a church org. and thought it'd be nice for our Mom's group, those Mom's to come and get some yummy treats in recognition of our Moms for Mother's Day.

Here's the thing:

I need a recipe and possibly one to feed 30-40 people - maxing out there I hope- any ideas?

Plus, doing it as a fundraiser and any proceeds will go to those people in Japan. Thing is I can't really set it up as a selling show, and have to do any orders on the side- since it's a church affiliation, they can't do anything with direct sales. First, I told her she could host and get the benefits, then; I told her about the fundraiser to generate any sales.

Just gonna do the presentation with the products displayed, and any hands-on people want to do. Anyways, I'm not sure I'll may make any sales; since I won't be able to do the folders with order forms/catalogs. People will be able to place orders on the side with me though; and if our products sell themselves; hoping to get some.

Still, I will be doing a drawing with the drawing slips; to do a prize- so I should still get everyone's information; as if at a vendor event to call them later on and see if they want to order or setup a show.

Let me know what you ladies think.

I was thinking of Strawberry Leche Trifle (I think it's called) since I got Trifle bowl recently- but is that enough to feed 30-40people?

Thanks.:chef:

The Strawberry Coconut Tres Leches Trifle is amazing! I'm not sure that it will feed that many if that's the only thing being offered. You could get a couple of blocks of cream cheese and pour one of our sauces (Raspberry Habanero, etc.) over it and have some crackers to go with it. That's a quick and easy thing and it always a hit for me.

My first question would by why you can't take orders because it's a church? Is it something that the church itself does not want to do on their property? If so, would one of the ladies in the church be willing to host it in their home?

Thanks for the tips. I checked on Tres Leches Stw. Trifle and says like 16 servings, looked thru some SB for some apps. and such of 24-36 servings. Thanks for the tip on cream cheese, and raspberry sauce...sounds good.

Also, thought about mango confetti salsa.

The woman organizes activities for the church, and has an open play in basement 2x week. She likes to do different activities for families that attend, and specials for holidays. She asked if I would do a presentation and have it be for the Moms that come, for Mother's Day special event. When I mentioned I'd place her as host with any orders, she kinda stepped in w/not being able to present as a direct selling show, because they were a church. So, I suggested the fundraiser idea. She liked that idea but said if woman wanted to order anything, they could do it over to the side with me not directing in front of everyone.

Not entirely sure why though. I've been to other churches play groups, and they have hosted their own gold parties, and baby product parties. ???

Just figure I could get some leads and keep positive that people will want to purchase from seeing products.
