I need to come up with a flexible recipe to demo at a BIG show I'm doing Sunday. The host has invited 40+ people and tells me we should have at least two dozen attending. Not sure how far I believe that, but I want to be prepared just in case. I was thinking about doing a twist or a wreath...

Ok, so my first cooking show is Friday. Its the one I have been stressing over. I have not had any training yet and have only ever been to 2 PC shows (by the same host) done by a new cons. So I am trying to practice my dialog. I am ok with the cooking aspect, but don't know really how to...

I plan to make this for one of my recipes for my Spring Preview party in the full size fluted version- thanks to Kelly's recommendation-tips!:chef: I was wondering though, for those who have made them, if you do them again will you use the yellow cake mix, or would you use lemon cake or...

I'm hosting a fundraiser for a non-profit preschool where the moms are low income. I can't depend on the parents and/or teachers to bring in a lot of orders but I would like to involve the board members. Several work in big offices so I thought they could pass a catalog around the office. Does...

Hi all! I have a potentially HUGE fundraiser coming up in May... it is for a past host to raise funds for her 3 day breast cancer walk. She's thinking there's a potential for over 100 people to be there. We're doing an open house style party with just a display and some recipes/food out... no...

I just got a call from a friend. She is making mints that her family insists she has made before. (of course she has not..) The mints are stuck in the molds. I asked her if she put butter in the mold before pouring the mixture in and she asked "now, why would I do that?" She tried the...

I have a show coming up on the 1st. She is expecting quite a few. We can't figure out what to serve. The last time she had a party she served the garden ranch pizza. I guess it has been a long time since she had a party :) I am tossing around the idea of the lazy lasagna chili with garlic...

I have booked a room at the local civic center for a 2008 kickoff show (also to be sure and get a show in for my tablecloth!). I am fairly new to the business and feel that I have exhausted my contact list. My goal is to find neutral ground to be able to invite as many people as I can find in...
