Party Ideas: Pink 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

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.
