Use the Nylon Knife or the Nylon Slice N Serve.

I have been wow-ing my shows with the "Chocolate-Raspberry Dream Torte" found in the Use & care of the Torte pan set. It is super quick too (I have the host have the batter waiting for me and the oven hot - put it in 15 minutes before guests arrive... start the show when the cake comes out of the oven (they can't help but notice, and if they don't I get their attention so they can see how EASILY it comes out of the pans). Mix the inside/frosting while I do my shpeel and serve - - yum!!!

If you want pink, you can color the filling/frosting pink. Otherwise, have the raspberries represent pink.

The Strawberry Spinach Salad is wonderful. My first thought was that they had ruined strawberries...LOL But, I really think the dressing is what makes it such a hit. I always get rave reviews when I make it at gatherings. I am planning to make it at my show on Thursday.

Pink / Chocolate TrifleI just got this, along with the picture from another group I'm on, but I'm adding/changing and making these at my shows for rest of month.....

Pink/Chocolate Trifle

(this makes enough for 2 bowls)

1 pkg. devils food cake mix
3 small boxes instant white chocolate or vanilla pudding
4½ Cups milk
Lg. container Whipped Cream
½ bag of Heath Toffee bits

Bake cake in large bar pan. Cut into 2"x1" squares when cool. Mix milk with instant pudding.
Make 2 layers of each ingredient. Start with cake in bottom, spread pudding over cake, then whipped cream over pudding, sprinkle Heath bits, repeat.

Chill overnight

For Valentines Day or with Help Whip Cancer, I used white chocolate pudding mix and added red food coloring for a nice pink tint. Then I made the *chocolate heart garnishes for the top...it looks and tastes AMAZING!

*chocolate heart garnish: melt semi sweet chocolate chips in a Ziploc freezer bag in the microwave. Cut small corner in bag, pipe chocolate into heart shapes on a piece of wax or parchment paper, let cool until hardened. Stand up in top layer of dessert...WOW!

*Pink garnish for Help Whip Cancer: use white chocolate chips (1/3 cup maybe?), melt first then add ONE drop of red food coloring. Follow instructions for chocolate hearts above.

Also, since this makes enough for 2 bowls (in the Trifle bowl), I usually freeze half the cake and save it for my next show, then just half the other ingredients.


This has a great WOW factor, and really isn't that expensive.

Enjoy,
Lisa
