I've been looking around but there's just SO much info here! :)

If there isn't, would anyone care to share your tips for a great first show?
 
Don't lick your fingers!! (SO, SO hard for me - I was use to cooking in my own kitchen) LOL! Just be sure to relax and breath.....HAVE FUN!!

:)
 
If you make a mistake just pretind like it didn't happen or make a joke of it. At my first show I dumped powdered sugar over the table and floor. The guests laughed and one girl said now I have a story to tell, thank goodness it was at my sisters house so she wasn't that mad at me. I also liked Anna's bit about not licking your fingers, so hard for me. Just relax and have fun with what you are doing.
