I'm having a holiday show at my house on Nov. 30 that will be part demo/part open house. I want to do a short demo first to get guests involved & then give them time to eat, look at gift idea displays, chat, & order. I pretty much have everything planned except for the demo recipe. I want something that doesn't require much, or any, baking time & something that shows products that maybe don't get shown all the time. But now I am second guessing myself & wondering if I should even do a demo recipe. My husband thinks people will just want to be there to order, but I was hoping that by doing a guest interactive demo that more people who haven't booked might want to book a show like that.
Any opinions as to a demo/open house or just an open house? I was also thinking of just having products out to demo, but I did that last year & no one tried them out. Last year I did just an open house. One person came, ordered, & left. The other six grabbed food & sat & chatted for the entire time, placed an order, & left. I don't think anyone even looked at my displays & no one tried the products I had set out. Of course, it WAS all family except for the person who came & ordered & left.
HELP! I love to second guess myself all the time & I'm starting to talk myself out of it!
