An owner of a shoe store named Tootsies called a few hours ago and is wanting something to have at a trunk show on FEB 2 and 3rd. She is looking for fingertype desserts that don't need to be refridgerated. I have massive CAKE BLOCK on this one and can't think of much cool ideas. I can only come up with cake balls (but I prefer these to be cold) cupcakes and pecan squares. I have 2 days to come up with different ideas and email her with the item and price list.
The store is decorated in cocoa brown with pink spots. It's a high end shoe store (cheapest pair of shoes is $100 in there) The owner is really sweet and nice so I want to do something special to make a good impression for hopefully future business and refrences.
I do have these tiny clear plastic high heel shoe decorations that are about an 1 1/2 in length. I would like to try to incorporate these somehow if possible. YEP, I have a massive creative block right now!
Could you do cookies? Ice in chocolate and then maybe put a T in the center for tootsies, all fancy, then pink polka-dots.. what about petit fors... I am sure I butchered that.. never done them, do they need to be decorated? If not, do them chocolate iced with a Pink T on each one...
Decorated cookies sound great, there are so many possibilities as far as design w/ those. Their logo, colors, even a shoe-shaped cookie would be so cute! The mini cupcakes would be adorable w/ the little shoes on them, you could even do RI shoes or Chocolate ones to stick into the icing on top if you want it to be all edible. I prefer my cakeballs chilled, also, but some don't. Those might look nice dipped in chocolate w/ pink drizzled on top. Sorry I couldn't come up w/ anything new, but I hope this helps some!
Here is something like I was talking about w/ the RI or chocolate:

you could also do petit fours (sp?) as well, these are very classy, bite size and ... well....pretty. Like dark chocolate ganache covered bite size squares of cake with pretty pearlized polka dots on them with the occasional flower?
I am thinking about the shoe decorations --
Do you know what I am talking about when I mention those yellow rulers they used to use years ago, to measure feet? The ones with the block at the back, and a block that slides, in the front? Or how about the metal ones they use now? You could make a cookie out of the pattern for either, use some chocolate chips or other candy for the block and slide part, and put the shoes on top of the cookies.

How about brownies? They're already brown and you could add something pink to them liked mentioned above.
Mini brownies, those ARE yummy. Truffles are great, elegant also. Although, I've never made them, so I don't know how much work would be involved...
I've made toasted almond truffles dipped in choc. a lot so I'm use to those, they just need refridgeration. They said they have a very small fridge and I know truffles would fit easily in it though so that might be an option after all.
I have the Wilton heart pans --- do you think these would be to big to make brownies in or am I better off making bite size in the mini-muffin pans?
I think bite size is your best option for a shop like that. The hearts sound wonderful, maybe just a bit too big. I can't wait to find out what you decide and see the fantastic results!
If you do mini brownies in the mini cupcake pan then drizzle them with pink and brown candy melts. set them on trays that has your mini shoes on there as the center peice of each tray it will have class and simple to do. btw Sandra Lee has a coffee mocha almond brownie made from devils food cake mix that is so good I sub walnuts for the almonds (for cost) it was easy, cheap and dressed up nicely I also made them with international house flavored coffees so good!
I really like the idea of cookies in the shape of feet. They can be glazed and lightly decorated. They'll taste good and represent the shoe business. If the company logo is appropiate, that could be stenciled onto the glaze.
Lots of good ideas from everyone, to choose from.
What about molded chocolates? You could use white chocolate and tin it pink. There are probably shoe molds you could get. While cakes and cookies and brownies are great, a small taste of chocolate is always good.l You could also flavor the chocolates with cherry or raspberry.
