What Fabulous Recipes are Perfect for a 'Ru Pauls Happy Drag Race' Themed Party?

[Chef Kearns]

And I do mean FABULOUS! I have a party coming up on the 9th of June for an awesome couple. They are extremely excited about their party. They already have 30 confirmed attendees!!

So, they have a theme, "Ru Pauls Happy Drag Race". I am only vaguely familiar with the show this theme is based off of. There will be Drag Queens in attendance and they have already purchase over $100 in gold decorations and stuff (over the top). So, I wanted to demo a really over the top kind of recipe. The first thing that pops into my mind is the Chocolate Peanut Butter Cup Torte, but I also wanted to offer them some savory options. Any ideas????!!

In order to handle this crowd and try to appeal to everyone I plan on have a demo station (me) and a play with it station. I will be bringing a friend to help facilitate the hands-on area. That way people who want a more traditional type of thing can chill with me and the other more boisterous can use the tools hands-on while still enjoying the party. What do you guys think about that???!

What's really awesome is that his partner is thinking about joining my team!!! SO, I want to make sure we handle this just right!

Sounds like it will be fun! I'm having trouble with ideas for such a large crowd. I know, I know, it's just offering a taste.

A torte where you use the easy accent decorator does sound good for a dessert. It will look like it came from a bakery. The chocolate hazelnut torte would be good too, but that is definitely not a demo recipe - having everything ready and just assembling it would be good, though.

For savory, the mango crab cocktails from the new fresh & healthy book would be really sophisticated. Fabulous for warm weather. Just skip the step of chilling it, or pop it in the fridge while you decorate the torte. Also the blue cheese bacon potato crisps from the latest SB looks swanky.

I would do things that make a lot like a trifle dessert or salsa or can easily be doubled or trippled like strawberry spinach salad. You or they can make more of what ever you're demoing ahead of time and then you just make the last batch or finish it up at the party. You definitely don't want to do a long demo with a crowd that size.

Another thought is just do a garnishing show. Demo tips on garnishing or decorating/presentation. That would keep their attention.

Or David Meenan's Gourmet Chocolate Smores. Add the word "gourmet" to anything and it automatically is assumed to be "expensive".

Hi there! Wow, it sounds like you have an amazing party coming up on the 9th of June! I love the theme of "Ru Pauls Happy Drag Race" and it's so exciting that there will be Drag Queens in attendance. Your idea to demo an over the top recipe like the Chocolate Peanut Butter Cup Torte is perfect for this theme. For savory options, how about trying our Mini Chicken and Waffle Sliders or our Bacon Wrapped Jalapeno Poppers? Both of these recipes are delicious and can be made with our versatile kitchen tools. I think your plan to have a demo station and a play with it station is great. It will give your guests the opportunity to choose how they want to experience the party and also allows for a more interactive and fun atmosphere. And congratulations on potentially gaining a new team member! It's important to make sure their first impression is a great one, so your attention to detail and planning for this party will definitely leave a positive impact. I'm sure they will be impressed and excited to join your team. Best of luck with the party and happy cooking!
