Birthday Party Dessert Idea?!
Birthday Party Dessert Idea?
My daughter turns 13 this weekend and is having a small party. She is not a cake-and-ice-cream fan, and in fact is pretty picky when it comes to any dessert food. Any unique suggestions?
Answers:
Try chocolate fondue dip. Dip assorted fruits(strawberryand banana for example), crackers, or marshmellows....
Fruit Kabobs
Fruit and Yogurt layered in champagne or martini glasses
Baked Apples
Fruit Pie
Popsicles
Orange Sherbet Floats made w/ 7-Up
Dirt Cake (that old standby that looks like dirt but is choc pudding, cool whip, and crushed oreos)
cheesecake has many different flavors, a cupcake cake, or a cookie cake
My daughter will be 14 in a couple of months and she is the same way. For her party last year I used frozen fruit cups and frozen bananas..she had some friends that helped her make them with chocolate,sprinkles, nuts..I would let your daughter help you..she is old enough and will love it..good luck and have fun!
FRESH FRUIT DESSERT
CRUST:
2 c. flour
3/4 c. butter
3 tbsp. sugar
GLAZE:
1 1/2 c. sugar
1 1/2 c. water
3 tbsp. cornstarch
ADDITIONAL INGREDIENTS:
3 oz. pkg. strawberry Jello
1 tsp. lemon extract
1 qt. sliced strawberries
Mix flour, butter and sugar together and pat into a 9"x13" pan. Bake at 350 degrees for 15 to 20 minutes. Cool.
Boil glaze ingredients until thick and clear. Add Jello and lemon extract then cool. Place strawberries in cooled crust and pour cooled glaze over top. Refrigerate. Can use any fruit and matching Jello.
Happy Birthday to your daughter!
Since it's HER special day I would let her pick-and then add on from there. Does she like brownies? How about brownie sundae station for the group-choc sauce, whip cream, nuts, cherries, sprinkles, gummy bears,etc... The same idea could be used for choc. chip cookies & sundae station. Otherwise-how about smores?
How about a dessert pizza? Use any cookie dough that comes in tube ready to use from story to cover pizza pan....bake and when cooled, frost lightly and top with fruit, candies, whatever. The kids love this.
I also have a non-cake type of daughter (14) and for the past 3 years I have made a chocolate chip cheesecake using the mini chips. Last year i made miniature cheesecakes using muffin pans. Use the paper liners and spray them lightly with pan coating like Pam and they will peel off easily. They were very popular with the other girls with lots of 'Oooooh, they're so cute!'
make her watch a few of the feed the children commercials or take her on vacation to a third world country
then she will eat everything and won't complain
