Have any of you thought about doing the Christmas tree with "bites" instead of "rolls?"

I am just wondering if it would come out looking okay. I am supposed to do the tree on the 24th and am trying to figure out which way I should demo it.
 
I am doing the cinnamon bites just plain. Not the rolls. I want to crank out some more cookware before the end of panorama!!

Are you doing it as a Christmas tree shape though?

Any input would be helpful!!! Thanks!
 
I dont know what bites vs. rolls are? I have done the Christmas tree in the past though...
 
I want to play around with both. But I think the tree needs some color, so I'm going to try to paint it with food coloring.....:)

bites are more like "balls" where I would just cut up the grands biscuits into quarters. The "rolls" are the cresent rolls that are more Cinnamon roll shaped.

I guess that's what I'll do too. I just thought there would've been more people here that would have an opinion. I'm not sure what would demo better. If the rolls come out right or if it takes too long to do all of them while people are there just staring at you.
 
You could let guests share what their favorite product is while your working on it, so they aren't just staring at you. I usually don't do introductions, but I have people share favorite products if I'm doing something boring. Or, I have people talk about sones if they have them. I'm amazed that people dont know all the things you can use stones for. Many people don't even know they can bake cookies on them. I ask "who has a stone" or "what's your favorite stone" and I ask "what do you make on your stones?"

Thanks Jae. I was thinking I'd do something like that. I don't know why such a simple thing is such a debate in my own mind....
