I just booked a show for April & need some fun recipe ideas. It sounds like a fun girls' get together that they have on a regular basis. Anyway, I wanted to have some fun & easy recipe choices for her that would fit this kind of group. The show is starting about an hour earlier than I usually do, which puts it at dinner time. Any ideas?? I've never really done a show like this for a bunch of friends that are out to have a really good time & will be continuing the party afterwards. I'm excited though-sounds like fun!

A braid or wreath is always good, and she can put out some munchy appetizers!
 
Yep a braid or wreath would be my suggestion, too!
Or heck - I am all about the Lime Bery Mousse Trifle lately - you could do that!!
 
Taco Ring is simple, yummy, and perfectly light enough to drink with... (not that I have tried it...) lol

Thanks!!! Don't know why I didn't think about a ring--that's about ALL I did in Jan & Feb!! Maybe I'll ask if she wants a main dish & offer that, or the trifle if she wants a dessert.

What are some fun things I could do? I usually just do my demo, but figure this could be a louder group & want to have some ideas in my pocket!
 
See, I lean towards appetizers...I have always loved the baked potstickers, and the asparagus from last season were a hit! I love finger foods...

It sounds like this crowd would benefit from a short demo. Maybe bring something already done and then take a walk through the catalog?
 
"truffles"? That sounds interesting. Do you have the recipe? It's not in any of my books (I know we have slightly different products over here in england so assume the books are slightly different too. Thanks

I think we were talking about the trifles in the new trifle bowl, not truffles!
