fruit platter rainbow
colored/layered jelly in a mold or in cups
chocolate crackles (or, if you're like me, mars bar slice mix in patty pans - easier and yummier IMO!)
savoury wise you could do pizza pinwheels, party pies, sausage rolls, mini quiches, ****tail franks
i guess i tend to think of hot food when i think savoury - but you could do chips/twisties/cheezels and things too (we do a mix of both - the hot food always goes down better than the cold - but DD's bday is in winter...)
I do fruit kebabs and use paddle pop sticks because I'm scared of kids running and getting skewered with the sharp sticks (worry wort much?) I use a star cutter for rock melon, ball watermelon, a strawberry and a marshmallow. I was stoked that at both times dd1 took them to Kindy for end of germ party almost every kid had one. Sometimes I drizzle with a bit of melted chocolate
Hunks of watermelon always go down well
Fruit jelly cups
Mini quiches, little boys, dip platter with carrot and cucumber sticks popular although depending on the age you might get a bit of double dipping
I'm thinking of doing individual lunch boxes for the kids at dd1s birthday
Homemade pizza here is alway a hit. We make it on a rectangle tray, so we can cut it into strips, which is easier for small kids to handle.
Homemade cheese twists - puff pastry brushed with egg, sprinkled with cheese, top with more pastry, press. Cut into thin strips, grab ends, twist and bake. Great to make in advance
