Hi, I have a hostess who requested a Halloween Show on the 15th.
Here is what I am offering her.
Recipe choices:
Pumpkin Chiffon Torte or
Spiced Pumpkin Pie Spread with Apple Wedges & Cinnamon Pastry Wedges
Depending on which recipe she chooses, I am going to use the cooling or cooking time to demo some Halloween treats.
I have asked her to choose 2 or 3 of the following. I will either have the sample completed or ready for the finishing touches, as well as a quick demo of how the results were achieved.
Finish decorating a prebaked mini-pumpkin from the Mini Fluted Stoneware Pan.
Making a Hershey Cookie/Kiss Witches Hat
Nutter Butter Ghost Cookies
Apple/peanut butter, marshmallow monster mouths
Demo using PC tools to “carve�?a mini pumpkin
Demo using PC tools to create a mini pumpkin centerpiece.
I am also going to offer some PC Halloween tips which I pulled off another document that I saved in the past.
Here are some of those:
Make your Halloween less scary with these quick tips!<o:p></o:p>
- Sprinkle Cinnamon and nutmeg all over the inside of your pumpkin. When the candle is lit it will smell like pumpkin pie.<o:p></o:p>
- When your pumpkin starts to look a little shriveled place the ENTIRE pumpkin into a sink or bucket of warm water. After an hour or so it will expand back and look fresh! This is a great tip so you can enjoy your pumpkin longer. <o:p></o:p>
- Use the Zester-Scorer to score "hair" that will show when pumpkin is lit.<o:p></o:p>
- Use V-Shaped Cutter for eyes & teeth.<o:p></o:p>
- The corer cuts round eyes or the chimney on top to let the smoke out.<o:p></o:p>
- For those who cut their pumpkins on the top, the Cake Tester puts the lit match down to the candle.<o:p></o:p>
- Batter Bowl makes a pumpkin cake; or turns Barbie into a Witch<o:p></o:p>
- For safer popcorn balls w/ no hard kernels, Place Non-stick cooling Rack over your popcorn bowl, invert & shake--the unpopped kernels drop out.<o:p></o:p>
- Chop leftover Halloween candy with Food Chopper and store in freezer. Great additions to muffins, cakes, and icings for kids of all ages.<o:p></o:p>
I hope that some of these might be helpful. If anyone needs directions or recipes...let me know. I'll add them here.
Blessings, Debbie
