I definately want to do no- bake. not sure about doing the interactive demos yet.
 
I am in the process of working on shortening my demos...so I am looknig for quick easy demos to do while still showing a lot of products.
 
Strawberry Spinach Salad or a cake in the microwave (chocolate with pink tinted frosting or strawberry cake...).

I'm also going to make some pink 2 step fudge and cut it into heart shapes with then creative cutters as a host gift this May.
