Fun Food Ideas for an Unforgettable Girls Party Feast

Make that party food fly off the plate! It's easy to delight your guests and whet their appetites with creative party food that incorporates the designs and motifs of the party. Not all birthday party snacks have to be sugary sweets. For our Tinker Bell themed fairy garden party, we used flower cookie cutters to shape delicious kiwi fruit into beautiful, tasty treats. Raspberries stand in for the center of the flower with basil for the leaves.

Sweeten up your celebration! Have the girls decorate cupcakes to add a fun activity to food time. Start by setting up a table with colored sugar and sprinkles; then give each girl a cupcake to decorate and let them create fabulous desserts! For this Minnie Mouse party, we set out cupcakes in pretty pink Minnie Mouse themed baking cups, bowls of pink sugar sprinkles and Minnie Mouse cake toppers.

When it comes to decorating a memorable, three-dimensional cake creation, rolled fondant is definitely the way to go. Fondant is a special type of icing that can be molded and carved into a variety of shapes and designs. Read our Tangled Tower Cake How-To for step-by-step instructions on how to construct this gorgeous, edible version of Rapunzel’s home.

At her birthday party, your little gamer girl will be delighted that you took the time to make Angry Birds cheese and crackers for her and her friends. To construct these high-flying, healthy snacks use crackers for the base, mini Babybel cheese for the bird body, mango for the beak, marshmallows for the eyes and licorice for the pupils, eyebrows and tail. Serve with Angry Birds lunch napkins for bonus points!

Snacks in stick-form score big with kids! At your Yo Gabba Gabba-themed party, make up dipped pretzel sticks inspired by Muno, the friendly cyclops! To prepare, dip large pretzel sticks in red melting chocolate (available at your local Party City store), let cool slightly and apply candy eyeballs while chocolate is still sticky. Display Muno sticks in a fun Yo Gabba Gabba favor bucket with matching green gumballs.

Everybody loves cupcakes, especially when they're decorated to match your party and arranged as if they're about to shoot off into outer space! Make Toy Story cupcakes for your junior space rangers and buckaroos! With matching baking cups, star sprinkles, Toy Story cake toppers and Toy Story icing decorations it's easy to create cupcakes that are out of this world!

Show your birthday girl how special she is to you by remembering her favorite character when making her cake! At Party City, with over a dozen themed cake pans to choose from. Would your little fairy like nothing more than to spend a day in Pixie Hollow? Pick up a Tinker Bell cake pan and use our easy Tinker Bell Cake Decorating How-To to decorate this enchanting cake creation.

Delight your guests with a dessert drink that's a great substitute for cake and cupcakes! Make floats with your birthday girl's favorite ice cream and soda. It's a great idea for little girls who love some extra flavor! For this Minnie Mouse party, we made pretty pink Minnie Floats with strawberry soda and raspberry sherbet. We then decorated them with Minnie Mouse fun picks and garnished them with blueberries and strawberries in the shape of mouse ears.

Want to send shivers of joy down your Monster High fan's spine? It's scary-easy to add spooky "fog" to a horrifyingly refreshing concoction of grape juice and lemon-lime soda chilled with ice. Just place a few dry ice chips in a small dish of water behind the punchbowl right before serving. (Be sure to tell guests not to handle or eat it.) Served in Monster High party cups with Monster High beverage napkins. This punch is to die for!
