Rainbow themed food

[therumoursaretrue]

Having a 1st birthday party for DS tomorrow. Quite by accident we have landed on a theme so I wanted to try to have the food in rainbow colours.

Going for big one pot chicken and cous cous, a veggie Greek style tart and lasagne for main dishes.

So far I have thought of a rainbow salad, rainbow jelly, rainbow fruit kabobs, little bowls of smarties and skittles. Planning to make some macaroons in bright colours and some cupcakes tonight. What else can I have for snacks/nibbles and desert that would suit the theme?

Any ideas greatly appreciated!

I saw a fab rainbow cake in Asda!

Bella I have made a 6 layer rainbow cake too! Forgot to mention it...wish I'd gone for shop bought as I made a rod for my own back with it but its done now. May have to run to asda for one of those mind you as not sure what my cake will actually taste like

A big multicoloured fruit platter?

We had a few bowls of crudités - all different colours of peppers, carrots, tender stem brocolli - with dips like normal hummus, beetroot and walnut hummus, red pepper pesto, etc etc. yummy!

Oh PourquoiPas I hadn't thought of having coloured dips, I was being boring and going for plain hummus. Thanks for that.

Sandwiches with coloured fillings, set cut side up on platter. Grated carrots + philly cheese, grated/ sliced cucumber + butter, jam, marmite, grated/ sliced beetroot + philly, cheddar...can also mix up white and brown bread for colour.

I went to a rainbow party the buffet table was amazing with colours in blocks. So, not a fruit salad but a bowl/plate of strawberries/oranges/mangoes/cucumber, kiwi, blue cup drinks and blue things!! When you stepped back from the table it looked amazing. My friend, the Mum is very creative though.
