PUDDINGS!

Your puddings stall at the local flea market can be the main attraction for all the kids at the flea market. By this I mean not just the little kids, but kids of all ages.

No matter how old a person is, the idea and sight of a really yummy pudding will make them stop, and buy.

With no special equipment (other than a cooler box), and no special training, anyone can make a really attractive range of puddings to sell anywhere. Not just at flea markets. Approach your local supermarkets, school tuck shops; in fact, anywhere children are likely to be seen - even supply them for childrens' parties! The reason for this is that children see new and interesting things, and if they want it, will stop to at least look, and then decide on whether its worth nagging their parents for whatever it is they want. (In this case, pudding!)

Manipulative marketing, but it does work.

You will need to do some shopping, and some shopping around. You will need:

slightly old (1 or 2 days old) sponge cake;
Or
marie biscuits, boudoir biscuits;
fruit juice;
jelly - 3 colours;
custard;
caramel;
instant pudding;
miniature marshmallows;
cream;
100s &1000s;
chocolate vermicelli;
cherries;
little plastic glasses (200 or 250ml), with lids;
plastic spoons

Here are a few ideas for you to start with:

Half fill a glass with jelly, leave it to set, and then fill with custard or instant pudding.

Put two tablespoons of jam, use a jam with pieces in it, such as strawberry jam or grape jam, into a glass, and then fill the glass with custard. Make the custard slightly less sweet than usual, as the sweetness of the jam and custard could be a bit much.

Pour layers of different coloured jelly into a glass, letting each layer of jelly set before adding the next layer. When all the layers have set, use a knife to break the jelly up a bit. The add some broken up sponge cake, marie biscuits or boudoir biscuits to the glass. A teaspoonful of fruit juice (sherry or port will also work well) over that, and then custard to fill the glass. The custard needs to be thin enough to work its way down through the broken up jelly. And you have something that's sort of like trifle in a glass!

With your little pudding glasses, let your creativity flow, use colour, and let your imagination run riot.

Keep track of how much you spend, so that you can work out how much each pudding costs, in order to sell at a reasonable profit.

Good luck!
