Berry baskets are mini fruit salad cups served in your choice of "basket": shredded wheat nest, shortcake singles, mini chocolate cups, or scooped-out apple halves (slice a small wedge off the bottom to keep it from rolling, and brush with equal parts water and lemon juice to keep from browning). Alternatively, you can serve mini fruit kebabs on wooden toothpicks.
You can also make individual toadstool cupcakes by overfilling alternating cupcake cups in a muffin pan with your favorite cake batter, then ice with easy-pour white fondant icing (recipe found on the Wilton website). Once nearly set, add either red M&M-type candies or red cinnamon dots to decorate, and embellish with icing or candy-clay snails, blades of grass, caterpillars, ladybugs, etc.
Do you have a color sheme? Because if you do you can pass off a lot of 'normal' foods by using food dyes ( or natural food dyes). You can use a mushroom theme, flowers, fairy food...
In the end cutting sandwiches with cookie cutters, serving things in decorated bowls, or decorating foods to look like a plants, fruits or veggies, or going all out on the fairy theme could be good. serve punch in frosted, glittery bowls and decorate sweets with candy pearls, or decide to go for the 'natural' look and serve lots of plant based foods.
Star-shaped sandwiches (using cookie cutters).
Bake cupcakes, frost them with red icing (adding red food colouring) and put white candies on top to looks like toadstools.
Chocolate dipped strawberries
Serve vegetable dip in a hollowed out purple cabbage
You can name the food like calling lemonade - or any drink - "pixie juice", mini quiches are "gnome pies", pretzels rods dipped in melted white chocolate and topped with sprinkles can be called "magic wands", a glass bowl filled with jelly beans can be called "enchanted gems" and so on.
I'm having an enchanted forest themed party for my birthday, but I have no idea of what food I could do that would stick with the theme. I need lots of ideas! Help please
