I will be attending a women's retreat and I have the opportunity (I have been encouraged) to sell at the retreat.. I will send the items I am going to sell and i can take orders and also have extras for spur of the moment.. I need to do a lil "box" type thing as the coordinator said that has been a good seller (2 cookies and a milk for 5 bucks, that type of thing) there will be a "pajama party" in the night so it will be a good idea for that..
I'm thinking about 2 or 4 cupcakes...some 3 inch sweet potato tarts which people LOVE and I have no idea what else.. I don't want it to be tooo labor intensive for me (as in cutting and slicing a cake) but I don't know what else I should offer.. I don't want to offer 10 items I just want to focus on 3-4 (if that's not too much)
ideas?
oddly enough I haven't ever made cake truffles, cruffles, balls etc.. well I did once and the texture was questionable, which im sure was my fault.. lol I haven't tried again..
Lori, I have a 6 cake pan and the 12 cake pan..which one? the six?
prterrell, would these be regular cookies sized or whoopie pies?
I make sandwhich cookies either with standard size cookies (about 3" diameter) or sometimes I do bite-size ones with smaller cookies (about 1" diameter). It helps if the cookies are soft, chewy ones, not hard, crisp ones, or the filling oozes out. Chocolate chip cookies w/ chopped hazelnuts filled with Nutella are excellent, as are ginger cookies filled with lemon curd. There's all kinds of combinations you can do. 
I make sugar cookies with MMF on them...they taste good and everyone seems to love them. They could be made ahead of time so you didn't have as much to do at the last minute. They're fast to make too, just cut the mmf with the same cookie cutter you use for the cookies and lay the fondant pieces on the cookies right when they come out of the oven. I use real butter and lorann's buttery sweet dough emulsion in the cookie dough, and lorann's butter rum flavoring in the MMF, and the result is a very rich cookie.
thanks everybody!
I have decided to do:
cupcakes (prolly only choc, vanilla and rv)--4 boxed unless I do minis? decisions decisions
cake balls (I have some cake in the oven that I am going to make them out of and give to my testers today or tomorrow to tell me what they think)
my peanut (and or pecan) brittle
I LOVE macarons, but I would get a lot of funny looks before people would buy them.. these client's are kinda "regular" LOL
