I think there is another thread on this pretty recently. I have one this month too an an apartment complex for an apartment manager's residents. She does some kind of show a month with someone different and this month is Pampered Chef!!! Last month was Mary Kay and she sold over $600!

OOH! I figured it out!!!

I did more of a demo, and then they made their own sundaes....

The host picked ONE topping for me to make, and then the rest were just items we cut or chopped etc. that they could add to their sundaes.


Sorry...doesnt' look like the format worked very nicely cutting and pasting here, but you get the idea!
