Recipe Idea for Party in a Hair Salon

[lt1jane]

I have a host who is going to have her party in her salon. She's also using this as her daughter's birthday party. (She's a teenager and not that thrilled that her birthday party is also a PC party.)

Any suggestions for desserts to make? I don't know what kind of facilites are at the salon.

TIA

Some kind of trifle

yes, my first suggestion was the Chocolate Banana Creme Trifle, she isn't a banana person. I will be suggesting the Strawberry-Coconut Tres Leches trifle too.

Any other tried and true trifles that would be good?

I think I'd be mad if my Mom turned my birthday party into a Pampered Chef Show too!If the have a freezer large enough a stone - do a sundae show! The concept of cold stone. Let them chop various toppings, grate chocolate, slice fruits (with the egg slicer) etc.Or a cupcake show! Have the cupcakes pre-made & just a decorating station with various toppings.Are you SURE she wants this to be a PC show? Or is she just looking at you as the caterer/entertainment???

The Lime Berry Mousse Trifle from a few season's back was really good too!

the whole thing sounds strange to me, but if you are going to do it, I like Sheila's idea of make your own sundae or cupcakes. After all it is a teen party. If you have the MFP, you can make the strawberry ice but just use it as a topping over ice cream - my teen's new favorite dessert.

I've done Ice Cream parties before and I just got my MFP, so that's a really good idea. Something I can go to her with.

I totally get her daughter's not being thrilled. Mom in planning on inviting her clients and (hopefully) this will be my biggest party yet.

I never thought of using my stones to mix the ice cream though. I usually use by batter bowls. Either way, I can stick them in the freezer at home and transport them in a cooler. I think the ice cream theme may be a winner. Mom had already promised there would still be cake.

And no, I don't think mom is looking for a caterer. She is definitely a careful budgeter and wants to earn free products (and possibly get her daughter's parents to think about her services next time they make a hair appoitment - her specialty is ethnic hair)

People who love Cold Stone Creamery will LOVE mixing their ice cream on our stones! If you have the rectangle (no sides/handles), that one works easiest, but you can make any of the flatter stones work. Bar Pan, round stone with handles, etc. But fresh out of the freezer works best! So if they have a regular sized fridge, tell her to make room for the stone(s) so that they are super cold when it comes time to do the demo.

Oh, and the lava cake would go great with the ice cream...

Or a cupcake show! Have the cupcakes pre-made & just a decorating station with various toppings.

Another idea with this... you could use the apple corer and hallow out center and create fun cream centers or ice cream in center use the decorator to fill them with fun stuff ...
