Bread and butter pudding?

hat about some sort of sponge cake/pudding and then you could make some custard to go with it which could b bunged in the slow cooker to keep warm

fruit flapjack and custard

if you go for the rice pudding you can add fruits, spices, and toppings like jam, syrup etc.

Why don't you stew lots of lovely fruit in your slow cooker but make a crumble topping seperately. You could use basic apples and basics frozen berry mix and some brown sugar or any other fruit you can imagine. You could make your crumble topping by putting baking paper (is that the right word I want) on a baking tray and pour your crumble topping on top then cook it til it goes crispy. It'll keep alright overnight in a sealed tub.

On the day take your crumble filling in your slow cooker to keep it warm and then when it comes to dishing up slice up the topping and slip it on top of each portion in a bowl. Make up some instant custard with the kettle and then you've got something warm and filling without using the oven. I'm sure they won't mind the topping isn't warm, I'm not sure you could even tell with the hot fruit filling and hot custard!

I like the idea of a crumble, warming and filling
also what about a traybake as its easy to transport ie brownies?

Ever made marlborough pudding? My boyfriends mum makes this to feed lots of people at thanksgiving dinner. It's served cold, it could be transported easily and it's very nice served with whipped cream or on its own. I don't have her recipe but I did find one with pictures online http://myfoodbloginhonorofbessie.blogspot.com/2010/12/marlborogh-pie-or-marlboro-pudding.html

It's actually next week I'm doing it, but I'm leaning towards either the cake or crumble ideas with custard made with birds powder, powdered milk, sugar and boiling water.

Thanks for all the suggestions. I will keep them in mind for next time I do it.
