Serving Size for Wreaths-Rings so Small???

[heat123]

I'm planning to make a ring for a Margarita party and have never made one before. They looked big but in the book it only says it yields 8 servings. Are those big pieces they are talking about? Can I stretch it to 16? Otherwise I may have to make 2 rings for about 16 people.

thanks for any suggestions or experienced advice!

RingsThe taco ring or enchilada ring are awesome demos. The 8 servings are dinner sized servings. I personally let my host know that we will only be sampling the food. So you can do 16 samples easily out of one ring. I do not double a recipe unless they have over 20 confirmed guests.

I do suggest my host have munchies, such as chips and salsa, guacamole, or give her the recipe prior to the show to make Touchdown Taco Dip or some other great PC recipe!

Hi there! I've made a Margarita ring before and I can definitely offer some tips. The book may say it yields 8 servings, but those servings are usually quite large. You can definitely stretch it to 16 servings, but keep in mind that the pieces will be smaller. If you want to make sure everyone gets a decent size piece, making 2 rings for 16 people might be a better option. Another thing to consider is the size of your ring mold. If it's on the smaller side, you may have trouble fitting all the ingredients for 16 servings. In that case, making 2 rings would be the way to go. One tip I have is to make a test batch before the party. This will give you an idea of how the ring will turn out and how many servings you can get from it. Plus, you can adjust the recipe to your liking if needed. Hope this helps and good luck with your Margarita ring! Let me know how it turns out.
