BM # 27 Day 8
Occasion: Kid’s Birthday Party
When we talk of a Birthday Party, somehow I always associate it with Kids. I feel it’s all about Kids affair. I mean obviously we grown ups also have parties, specially to celebrate land mark birthdays. Cooking for a kids party is fun and one surely enjoys it, at least I love it.So it’s a kids party on the 8 th day of BM # 27.
Today’s birthday party is a mock party set up. It is no body’s birthday but I have just set up my table with the kind of food kids love for their party.
Chocolate is the most relished flavor with kids, so
I made Chocolate cup cakes and dipped them in Chocolate Ganache.
Kids love pizza and they hate toppings, so here are some coin pizzas , which have a mild purée and just cheese… Margarita if you want to call it so !
Cheese sandwiches are preffered by kids ..instead of the vegetable ones, and adding little cucumber sails to these adds an element of interest for the kids.
Pop corn and chips ! Can any party be complete without these two…?…well I just got a packet of MW popcorn and they were done in a jiffy, the chips are of course store bought.
Dessert is something that the kids always relish, so I have prepared a basic vanilla custard and made grape caterpillars to go with these…These could be served in individual cups or glasses.
Lastly I prepared some stirring straws..which actually should be served with hot milk…but I think the kids can just pick a straw and lick it or enjoy it as a chocolate.
This was my mock party and after I clicked pictures I realized I should have called my grand kids, they would have loved it….but …my 15 year old niece and I both celebrated …and enjoyed all the goodies. I saved some cup cakes and straws for the kids. They went crazy with those straws, which took me a while to make, even though they are very simple.

Chocolate stirring straws
Cooking chocolate
Straws
Sprinklers
Edible glitter
Long satay sticks
Melt the chocolate in a double boiler.
Let it start cooling a bit.
Dip the front of the straw in the chocolate.
Insert a long satay stick from the back of the straw.
Holding the stick at the bottom, carefully stick it in a thermal oil piece or a potato piece.
This way the chocolate will not smudge.
Immediately sprinkle the glitter and the sprinklers.
Repeat for the other straws.
While making these , I double coated the straws, the straws being plastic, the chocolate went on slipping….and hence I suggest that the melted chocolate be cooled a bit before dipping.
Grape Caterpillars
Thread satay sticks with washed grapes, for baby caterpillars thread in a tooth pick.you could make eyes with some chocolate icing…..I completely forgot!
Coin pizza
I picked up ready base for these, look for the purée recipe .
Cheese Sandwich
Apply butter to bread slices.
Sprinkle a layer of grated cheese and a dash of pepper.
Cover with another slice.
Cut into mini triangles.
To make sails cut the cucumber slices diagonally, fix them with tooth picks.
