Need Ideas for Min-Demos for Open House

[mrssyvo]

I hope you all can help. My friend is hosting a Brunch Open House (Pampered Chef ) and since her home is so small, instead of me doing a full demo, I am doing several small demo's, every 1/2 hour. I need some ideas on what to do. Here is what I have already- 1) cool veggie wreath, 2)appetizer wreath (styrofoam wreath covered with parsley, used as veggie tray (cheese and tomatoes,. ect on toothpicks, put into wreath, dip in center) 3) garnishing tips and 4) Christmas Tree made out of cream cheese block, I need at least 2 more. Any ideas?

What about Lime/Cucumber to show lots of products?

caramel apple skor dip!!! easy, and you cna show off quite a few products...and don't forget to spray your apple wedges with a little lemon juice in the spritzer and they won't brown

For my host appreciation night, I'm thinking of showing how to make the poinsettia cakes, snowman cakes with prep bowls, and the 2 step fudge.

I'm doing the truffles in last year's SB. I'm making them ahead of time & showing the products to make the coatings.

New here what is a cucumber lime show ???? If they show garnishing techniques that would be a good mini demo, carrot cucumber palm trees, the carrot inside the cucumber as a veggie tray item.

What is a carrot cucumber palm tree? I searched in the files, but came up with nothing. Thanks

Sorry I meant Carrot, cucumber, Green Pepper palm tree. You core the cucumber and slice off about 1 inch piece and stand the carrot in the cucumber, cut off the carrot once it fits snugly in the cucumber and cut off top of carrot so you have a little larger area to attach green pepper, use paring knife to slice downward in very small sections along carrot and then use the v shaped cutter to cut your green pepper and the top of the green pepper we normally throw away attaches to the top of the carrot with a toothpick. I do not have a picture sorry.

I use the crinkle cutter to cut the cucumber stuffed with carrot and people just "oooh" and "ahhh" over it. I had actually bought the crinkle cutter and corer at a show (prior to being a consultant) because the consultant demonstrated that and joke during my show that when I served that to my future in-laws, that may be one of the reasons they thought it ok their son marry me
