I have been reading for a couple of weeks now on the fundraisers. I have one on Tuesday March 11th. There were a couple of ideas that I liked but I didn't know how to print from here. Now I do. So please repeat for me what I should bring for for people to try on my products; grocery wise? Also she doesn't want any type of a demo so I am going to play a couple of games and then let them browse and try out the products. I am making and bringing the Greek Cheese Torta, Jerk Chicken Nacho's and Truffle Brownie Cups. I remember someone on here saying they have the food out and let them eat as they come in. I will do that with the Torta and Chicken but the Brownie Cups I was going to have the ganache in my easy accent decorator and let them fill their own.

Anyone have any other ideas?

The ganache should be set up first, so you might want to fill them before hand and then offer Cool-Whip in the EAD along with springles,chopped nuts and so forth.

As far as things to try, I'd bring the Mandoline, Chopper, knifes and cutting boards, Microplane and some other random thing along with some fruits and veggies for people to cut/chop/etc. Hard cheese or chocolate is good for the Microplane.

Thanks, I was thinking of making the ganache the night before and then putting it in the EAD before I go to the show. Do you think that would work
