Chocolate Covered Strawberries a Good Idea for an Outdoor Show?

[Intrepid_Chef]

Outdoor show and Chilzanne question ....I just found out that my Aug. 20 show is outdoors. Wahoo! She is expecting mostly couples to attend. Another Wahoo!

I was thinking of bringing chocolate covered strawberries and serving them in the Chilzanne Rectangular server. Is this a good idea if the server is on backorder? It is the only piece of chilzanne I have and was thinking that it would open the door to discuss other chilzanne items, even if they can't get this particular item by that time!

Is there anyway to borrow another piece from a consultant who lives near you? I would do the sectional server with the cool chocolate fondue (on the cover of All the Best) in the center with fruit in the sections...

 

[Intrepid_Chef]

Would this recipe be in our files somewhere??

Honestly ... I'm not sure ... I know there was one on display at a recent fair ... but I'm not sure if it's the person who is near me or the one who lives further away!

Under files search for fondue and it is called cool and creamy chocolate fondue. I haven't tried it, but my host next week RAVES about it - she can't believe I have never had it! You could set up stations for each kind of fruit and the fondue...

The fondue is good and easy to make.

It's in All the Best.

I know, but I don't have the cookbook.

MOVING BACK TO MY ORIGINAL QUESTION .....

Would it be OK to bring a PC tool that is on backorder to my show? It just would be a LOT more convenient to bring an item I actually own rather than having to drive way out of my way to borrow a sectional server from someone else.

YES! It's on backorder, not stop sell. Besides, we bring one piece of other collections. They get the idea and then can choose another piece. If you are very concerned, I would print out the Product info on the ones you aren't bringing so that you can be specific about the dimensions and such. PLUS, the Rectangle Server MAY still be available then. It will give you a great opportunity to mention how very popular they are since it doesn't happen often that products start running out SO quickly!

 

[Intrepid_Chef]

They'll have catalogs, so no need to print out info ... and I've seen the Sectional up close anyway ... so I think it will work. As long as I have food on the center part I won't be showing off what is unique about it (the "egg" tray.)

Hopefully by the 20th we'll have a better idea of what's going on with the Chilzanne stuff...it's a big frustration that we can't show it in September!
