Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle Party {Part 2 The Food}

On Monday, I shared the decorations to my son's Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle Party with you. Today I am going to talk about the food we had.



For lunch we had pizza, a Ninja Turtles favorite! Our sides were pasta salad, potato salad, veggies & dip, and chips & dip.

That is the boring stuff. Let's move on to what is really important....DESSERTS!!!

THE CAKE


For the cake I stacked three 10" round yellow cakes, and decorated them with the same butter cream icing I used on my Cookie Dough Cupcakes. You can find the recipe here. I used Wilton tip 2A to decorate the sides of the cake, and tip #5 for the top of the cake. The turtles are made from fondant, but I piped on their eyes on with the same icing I used for the cake.

THE CUPCAKES


The cupcakes were a chocolate cake with the same butter cream icing as the cake. I used an Ateco tip 869  to decorate them. The cupcake wrappers were colors of the Ninja Turtles' eye wraps.

THE BROWNIES


The "Sewer Lids" were brownies that I cut out with a circle cookie cutter, and drizzled with melted Wilton Light Candy Cocoa Melts*.

 THE DIRT 

The "Sewer Dirt" was a pudding dessert that my kids love, and it was also the first thing to get eaten.

THE JELLO


The "Toxic Ooze" was melon Jell-O.

THE COOKIES


For the cookie bar we had sugar cookies, butter cream icing, mini gummie bears, M&Ms, and a selection of sprinkles.

As usual there were plenty of leftovers, and everyone got to take home some goodies to enjoy the next day!
