therwise, if the organizers allow vendors, then you'll fit right in. I've worked several with a clustermate. We usually have a display of products, and hand out recipe cards.

spice cake with pumpkin pudding
chocolate cake with chocolate pudding
yellow cake with lemon pudding
cherry chip cake with cheesecake puddingEach mug had 2 different flavors of cake mix, and I put the tags in so that the customers couldn't tell what flavors they were getting (to reduce people complaining and moaning about what was available). I used holiday patterned cellophane, but if you use clear, then you don't have to switch the wrap out on any that you have leftover. Each mug had a fabric bow with a single small bamboo spoon in it.
