02/18/09 		Do you have a recipe for peach cobbler for 100 and have you ever used mace in the recipe and what is the flavor factor?
ellen
02/19/09 		Mace is delicious in peach cobbler. I use it instead of nutmeg.

You want about 9-10 9x13 pans. If you are cooking them separately, the easiest thing is to mix them separately. I often make cobblers with the fruit of choice and a spiced up 1 layer yellow cake mix for 1 9x13 pan (regular two layer cake mix makes 2 pans).

Here is a link to a good recipe- use double for a 9x13 pan.

02/24/09 		Thank you SO much for UR immediate response. I found the dump cake on allrecipes.com as u mentioned, read every comment and suggestion for the bacis DC I recipe HOWEVER, since I was looking for a recipe for 150 I had to make recipe on my own. I had no time for trial and error so I was at the mercy of... The pans I used were the very lg metal pans 21x13x4 - I made 8! I used 3-3LB cans of peaches drained only 1 can, 1cup of Br.sugar -1tsp of cinn. 1/4tsp of MACE ( which provided the "bit" surprise flavor that keeps them wondering ) Thank U . Now the problem I used only one box of cake mix, pressed down, and 1-lb shredded butter. baked 400 for 45 min and disaster!!!! The cake mix provided NO CRUST only a thickening for the cobbler,SO I had to think fast!! I happened to have bisquick oot the cooking site, I made a huge batch of thin batter and poured a layer over the whole top of each-- MAGIC-- I had a UMMY crust and all was saved. Served with Pineapple ice cream...need I say more. I'm so happy I found you. I prepare food thru our church for a local out reach center 2 at. a month for lunch so you certainly will be hearing from me again.Next week I'm cooking for 160 for a Boy Scout Banquet, I need somthing LAVISH & GREAT Kiddos and adults. Any suggestions are welcome! My HATS OFF TO YOU... UR THE BEST!!!

That orange dijon wedding chicken is mighty tasty, very popular and can be prepped ahead. See the thread called "wedding reception menu ideas" for a whole collection of great food for 150-

Don't know if that's what you're looking for.

Hi! My husband's mother always made a side dish she called peach tapioca. All I know is that she used fresh peaches, orange juice and maybe water plus tapioca as a thickener. Can anyone help? Thanks.
ellen
05/23/09 		You just use the tapioca such as minute tapioca recipe with juice substituted for milk. It is a popular way to prepare in the tropics. Here are a couple of typical recipes:
