Blue Party Food
Menu ideas for an under the sea party
Something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue! Got the blues?
Whether you're having a Blues Clues Birthday Bash, or celebrating a bouncing baby
boy's first birthday, creating blue foods for a party is weird, wacky and wonderful.
How are you going to do it? We'll drop you a hint: err on the side of caution as too
much blue food coloring will detract from your theme. Use white plates and accent
with white foods so that you have just the right balance for guests to brave.
Blue candies and sweet treats:
Make a centerpiece of clustered bowls of blue candies of different textures. We
suggest:
Blue drinks
Other blue snack ideas
Blue Cupcake Ideas
More fun ways to sing the blues
Start the birthday kid out right by placing one drop of blue food coloring into the bowl
then fill with cheerios. When your child is seated, pour the milk and watch the cereal
turn blue!

- A blue birthday cake. Mix just a few drops of blue food coloring with your white
cake mix or angel food recipe, but frost with simple white icing with blue
decorating gels for the lettering and cake design. For something more
unexpected, try the Wilton cake checkerboard pans with half white cake and
half blue cake.
- Shimmy the Jimmies. Blueberries are an obvious choice of food for your party,
but you can kick things up a notch with blue whipped cream sprinkled with blue
jimmies. Add just a hint of blue to your whipped topping, so as not to
overwhelm your guests.
- The cookie monster is blue, and your cookies should be too. India Tree
makes a beautiful blue sparkling sugar that works well with our Easy Big Batch
Sugar Cookie recipe.
- Melt-away with Wilton candy melts. It's much easier than melting white
chocolate and adding food coloring, and you'll likely have a prettier color baby
blue.
- Make seaside lemonade. Fill ice cube trays with water, then add a drop of food
coloring to each. As the blue ice melts into yellow lemonade, you'll have a
wonderful sea green.
- Blue bagel and cream cheese. Make blue bagels by adding a few drops of red
food coloring to your home made bagel recipe. Keep the cream cheese white,
so that it's not too overwhelming. Don't have time to make bagels? Then do the
reverse. Color the cream cheese.
- Blue deviled eggs. Start with your favorite deviled eggs recipe. Before
scooping the mixture back into the white egg halves, soak them in water mixed
with a few drops of food coloring to get the desired color. Allow drying time on
paper towels, then fill and serve. Blue looks terrific with the yellow centers.
