Graduation Batter Bowl Idea and ?????

[pelamm]

Hi all! Just wanted to fill you in on an idea in the works. A friend of mine decorates cakes, and hasn't had her party yet so I lent her my Classic Batter Bowl to make a graduation cake. She will be using the bowl cake for the skull cap part of a mortar board. For the flat part she is covering a square piece of cake board with fabric to match the skull cap part, and adding a tassel and fabric covered button. I think she is placing the mortar board on a larger sheet cake to provide more servings. She promised to take pics when she is done, but I wanted to pass this on since it is that time of year and other people might want to try it.

And, speaking of this time of year, one starts thinking of kids going away to college. So, as a thread, what do you think would be the ideal PC things for a young person living in a dorm room? An obvious choice to me would be the fluted cake pan - can you imagine how popular in the dorm you would be when people have the late night munchies and you whip up a 10-minute cake? LOL. Also, the small bar pan since it would fit in a microwave.

Obviously someone in a dorm room can't have all the PC accoutrement, so it wouldn't be as big a gift registry as a bridal registry, but we can definately try to develop people as long-time customers when they are younger. Have any of you sent your kids off to college with PC? What did they take?

college ideasI found this on another thread and thought it would just be easier to copy and paste it than make everyone hunt for it. I think it was Deb that posted it:

I use the Classic Batter Bowl as a "college bowl" . One that every college kid can participate in.
Eat cheerios in it
Make pancakes and pour from it
Boil rice or noodles in the micro wave ( soup, chili too)
Bake in it in the regular oven
Eat out of it
Store left overs with the lid on in the fridge
Reheat -lid on -keeps microwave clean
Eat out of it again
Place it in the dishwaher or wash it in the sink
Anyway you clean it, a college kids dream

Also MUST haves
Classic scraper
Twixit-its- these will do so much- there is a chart for all the ways Quikut knife Suds pump Bar board Small Bar pan Microcooker Mini Whisk

I have a list of things college kids want to take with them. I will post it when I get home. I also have another one with things campers need.

Hi Ginger! I would be very interested in the college flyer! Would you mind posting it here? Thanks for all of your encouragement!

I'm interested in seeing the 'camper's list'. That would be a great show theme for this summer!

I am interested in both the camper's and the college flyers. Are they posted somewhere???

Thanks!!!

"Real" College IdeaI learned this from my Director, and it's totally "tongue in cheek" humor. (Only do this with the right crowd, you never want to offend)
Re: The batter bowl....
I say....
This bowl is perfect for the college student leaving home. It's the 24-hour bowl....
Cheerios for breakfast
Top Ramen Noodles for lunch
Mac n Cheese for dinner
Beer mug for dessert! (As much as we hate to admit it, they're doing it!)

Hi Paula,What a great idea for a graduation cake using the Classic Batter Bowl! I love how creative and versatile our products can be. I can't wait to see the pictures of the finished cake.As for dorm room essentials, I completely agree with your choices of the fluted cake pan and small bar pan. Both are perfect for quick and easy snacks and treats. I also recommend our microwave cookware set, which includes a small saucepan, steamer, and rice cooker. These are perfect for making quick and healthy meals in a dorm room.I haven't personally sent my kids off to college yet, but I have heard from other consultants that the Quick Cooker and Quick Cooker accessories are also popular choices for dorm room cooking. And don't forget about our Cutco knives, which are perfect for any kitchen, big or small.Thank you for starting this thread and sparking some great ideas for young adults heading off to college. I will definitely be keeping these suggestions in mind for future customers.
