Are they on CC and I do not see them??????
 
I don't think they're up yet.
 
I just got the email from HO...... I am thinking... uh I am liking this!!!! :)
 
email just came - it says the recipes, etc. will be posted tomorrow and next week.
 
The email says that everything will be on CC by tomorrow - the 3rd.

I can't wait to see everything - I think it will help for getting Nov and Dec bookings.

where would it be?
 
I thought I had searched CC pretty good. Either it is not there yet, or I am missing something.

HELP!! It may not be there yet. I just hope it isn't staring me right in the face.

I don't think they're up yet.

There are still 11 hours left in the 3rd. HO didn't say when they'd be available.
 
So when is everyone going to offer these to your guests? Are you going to do in as early as early November? I am thinking about offering it as December, but want to see what everyone else does.

I am definitely offering them in November! I have a ton of shows that month & want sales to be high! If guests are buying gifts & entertaining things they need as well as what they would have already, then that will help me in the sellathon. So I'm doing them both months.
 
yay! thanks!
 
Very cool -thanks for sharing the link I looked earlier and it wasn't up yet!
 
So, after doing a demo for the batter bowl mixes, what would you do with it? Would you be buying extra batter bowls and giving them as gifts to the host? Or do you buy these ingredients, and take it home with you? Or do you show how to create them, and then actually bake them? Has anyone doen this before?
 
Back when that was one of the official theme shows, lots of consultants would take them, show the crowd, then pour it out and prepare it. While it was baking, demo how to make the mix, which would then be ready for the next show.

Back when it was an official theme show, I was 10 weeks pregnant, and supposed to be off my feet. Also couldn't stand to be around food (hurled unexpectedly for no reason!)- NOT a good thing for a PC Consultant!:yuck: So, what I did was have one (the brownie mix) made up ahead of time, and then I would have the host mix it up and pop it in the oven as guests were arriving. I would demo the layering, and then the guests would have warm brownies and ice cream as they finished shopping. I sold a TON of small batter bowls - multiples to alot of people. It helped that it was also the guest special and they could get it for $9 (I think).Oh - ETA - I did the entire demo sitting down!
 
I think this is going to be great for fun November shows.
Now to show my stupidity--I am pretty good with lol, rofl, roflmfao, etc...but what is eta?
 
Edited to add
 
Thanks, Ann!
