Here are some APRIL FOOL'S DAY SHOW IDEAS 4 YOU:

Fruity Hot Dog!

Put banana in a hot dog bun. Cut off ends of banana to fit the roll.
Mix 2T peanut butter (NOT CRUNCHY) w/ a couple drops of red food coloring.
Spread over banana. Mix a little drained vanilla yogurt w/yellow food coloring for "mustard". Drizzle over "hot dog".

Yolks on You Fried Egg and Toast (dessert):
Spread thin layer of vanilla pudding on plate to look like an egg white. Top w/a canned peach half to resemble a yolk. Serve w/cinnamon-toast triangles.

Pizza Pie in the Sky:
For the pizza cookies- slice cookie dough to circles. Cut fruit rolls into 36 circles the same size as dough slices. Top each cookie w/fruit roll circle.
Bake 7 min at 350 or until golden. remove from oven, immediately sprinkle w/about 1 tsp chopped white choc chips. spread slightly so they melt and look like cheese. sprinkle w/dried mint if desired. :) 



Start out the demo by telling everyone you are going to make something that will gross them out. I can't think of something right off the top of my head, but be all excited about this new recipe "Tuna and Brussel Sprout Frittata" or something else that sounds gross. Make a game out of it, you could even have some scary looking ingredients handy. After they look really scared and you tell them "April Fool" tell them that anytime during the demo that they catch you "fooling" the person who catches you will get something. You can either do a thing where they get a sticker or something and then the one with the most gets a prize like a SBRC or you could just throw candy to the person as they catch you. I don't know is there some kind of April Fool appropriate candy? If not just use kisses. You could complain about having to deliver products--April Fool! You could say how you really hate the fact that you and your family are always taste testing new recipes--April Fool! You could say that you can never chop an onion without crying--April Fool! (Food Chopper)

Maybe joke about how nice it is that the hostess does the dishes for you, she will definitely be calling April Fool on that one.

You get the idea. I have never done this, but it might be fun, if your hostess is into it. Some people do not like to play games, so make sure she likes the idea.

A few things come to mind.  You could give out coupons or points to be redeemed at the end of the show.  Your audience would really have to listen and write down as many things as they could that were wrong!
 
1.    Calling a product by a wrong name.
 
2.    Do your show barefoot or with one shoe off and one shoe on.
 
3.    Wear your shirt backwards
 
4.    Begin with dessert
 
5.    Call your hostess by the wrong name
 
6.    Wear a hat
 
7.    Wear two aprons
 
8.    Have you hostess in her PJ's
 
9.    Tell people you don't want to hear any one saying they want to have a show.
 
10.  Tell people you hate this job
 
11.   The money sucks
 
12.   You don't need the extra money you just like to mess up other peoples kitchens
 
 
Get the idea!
