My $3600 show was a fundraiser so it doesn't really "count" - but I made the Sizzling Coconut Shrimp Cakes and a chocolate micro-cake.
My highest non-FR show was $2200 and I made the Lemon Herb Chicken Ring and a Choc Micro Cake.
My one-recipe issue is that by making the micro cake...I ALWAYS sell a buncha fluted stones...which leads to the upsell of the Easy Clean Kitchen Brush...this is in additon to the tools they bought because of the main recipe...talk me out of this craziness...please!!!

I need to be talked INTO this craziness. I am looking to increase my show sales, so I actually just got a fluted pan, but I have a question. Do you bring the cake prepped and ready to go and cook it there before the guests arrive, or do all the mixing and prepping there? What recipe do you use? I got a bunch from the files, and I tried one the other day and it was OK. It was 1 cake mix (with ing on box) and some canned frosting. I think I didn't use enough frosting. I wil try the diet soda version this week. Thanks for any input and tips.

I mix the cake there (in the stainless bowl...measuring with the Easy Read cups and mixing with the Stainless whisk or Lg Mix & Scraper) then scoop the frosting with the medium stainless scoop.
I use the devils food cake with chocolate frosting recipe.
What is the diet soda recipe?

hope my "quote works". I remember reading here somewhere to make the fluted cake with just a box of cake mix and a can of diet soda. I haven't tried it yet. Thanks for the info about the cake. I might have to try it at my next show. I am a little nervous because I know microwaves can be fickle. I have a new one and it works great. My mil has a REALLY old one and everything takes forever to cook. Any tips you have would be greatly appreciated. Thanks and have a Happy New Year!!!

I have been making the German Chocolate cake micro. cake. It has a nice 'final' presentation, when you flip it over. To make this cake you put the whole can of coconut/pecan frosting in the bottom of the fluted pan (after you add some oil to the sides/bottom of pan using the silicone basting brush). Mix the cake according to direction and microwave about 11-12 min. It is so yummy! The guests always flip over the fact that you can microwave a cake! I always make the batter (in my classic batter bowl) before everyone gets there and do the rest at the beginning of my show. After the demo is done we flip the cake and enjoy it! I offer to supply the ingredients if they have a confirmed 15 coming to the show, otherwise they provide them.
