Miss A turned one (!!) last weekend so this week I thought I\u2019d share some of the food I made for her party. We themed it around the book The Very Hungry Caterpillar so food choices were pretty easy (You can read more about the party over at From the Wolf\u2019s Den<\/a>)<\/p>\n

Starting with the egg on the leaf I made Devilled Eggs using YIAH Bay of Bengal Curry dip mix<\/a><\/p>\n

Then apples, pears, strawberries, grapes (instead of plums), oranges and watermelon on a fruit platter<\/p>\n

And the Saturday foods\u2026. <\/p>\n

chocolate cake and cupcakes (orange and banana) \u2013 I\u2019ll be sharing the chocolate cake recipe next week. You can find the orange cake recipe here<\/a>, I iced them using some YIAH Choc Orange chocolate powder<\/a> and my banana cake recipe here<\/a><\/p>\n

Ice cream cones. There\u2019s a bit of a story here\u2026 we started off thinking we\u2019d use ice cream lollies, then I found a recipe that was choc filled cones with a marshmallow on top but we couldn\u2019t find mini ice cream cones, so, I trawled Pinterest and saw marshmallow cones. Perfect. Found a recipe for sherbet and a recipe for marshmallow. The sherbet tastes like Wizz Fizz and the marshmallow was soft and fluffy. I did learn a lesson from this adventure \u2013 make it on the day you want to serve it otherwise things go soft and the 100s and 1000s loose their colour.<\/p>\n

Swiss cheese and salami, a glass full of lolly pops, mini savs for the sausage and mini cherry pies (which were made in paper gelato cups with a square of puff pastry filled with tinned cherry pie filling). <\/p>\n

The green leaf was represented by a green salad. Cocoons were made by cutting puff pastry in half then cutting those haves into 2 triangles. Spoon a blob of nutella on the long end then roll up towards the point (like a croissant). Bake for 30 mins in a 180C oven. Butterflies were a last minute decision \u2013 fairy bread cut into butterfly shapes.<\/p>\n
