ISO food ideas for 1st birthday barnyard theme
My BFF is planning for her son's 1st birthday party later this month, and I have offered to help with the food. It will be a weekend afternoon, and we're planning for light & heavy apps. The theme is barnyard, so I was hoping to find some cute ideas (either the actual food or the presentation). Any suggestions?
Re: ISO food ideas for 1st birthday barnyard theme
Brainstorming here...I guess you can play up the animals without being overly "you're eating a pig"...so maybe pigs in a blanket, cookies and milk, chicken nuggets (or something with egg), or maybe different cheese like the babybel or laughing cow (they may even have little goat/sheep cheeses).
Maybe you could serve each kids meal in a metal bucket with a farmery looking bandana/hankerchief as a napkin
These blogs have a few cute food ideas:

I've seen some kind of haystack candy using coconut and peanut butter maybe
or the land o lakes site has sheep cupcakes using mini marshmallows
I'd have some deviled eggs, or egg salad tea sandwiches.
Anything veggie and fruit related would be nice
What about some herbed cheese spread on proscuito or ham and wrapped around asparagus.
Stuff little tomatoes with pesto
muffins with berries. my mom makes some lemon muffins with raspberries and sprinkles them with sugar! yum
