Angel white 3RD BIRTHDAY PARTY
Your little angel is growing up now and will love spending time with her friends (though, still, not for too long though). Every girl dreams of being a fairy or angel, and we took the opportunity to indulge in an all-white, winged fantasy.
WHITE FRUIT
We peeled some litchis to make a bowl of white fruit. You could also use peeled apple and pear slices, brushed with a little lemon juice to prevent discolouring.
BOWLS OF WHITE SWEETS
Buy whatever white sweets you can find, and fill an assortment of white bowls with these. We used white Lindt chocolate balls, vanilla marshmallows and coconutencrusted white-chocolate balls.
WHITE VEG AND SNACKS
Make a platter of white vegetables and snacks with a white tzatziki dipping sauce. We used cauliflower, little chicken samoosas, honey & mustard grilled chicken strips and mini sweetcorn spears.
MINI WHITE SLIDERS
Make mini white sliders by replacing the bun with half a boiled egg. Top your sliders with salad, tomato, cheese, cold meat and a blob of mayonaise or 1 000 island dressing.
WHITE BUTTERFLY CAKE YOU’LL NEED
• 2 cake rounds (shop-bought or make your own simple cake)
• strawberry jam
• 500ml cream
• butterflies for decoration (available from most gardening or flower shops) TO DO
1. Sandwich the two cake rounds on top of each other using strawberry jam. Beat cream till stiff peaks form, and use to ice the cake. Then arrange butterflies all over the top and sides of the cake.
WHITE SANDWICHES
YOU’LL NEED:
• 1 loaf of white bread, crusts removed
• 1 tub low-fat cream cheese
TO DO
Spread the cream cheese on half the slices of bread, use the other slices to top the sandwiches. Now cut into fingers, or use cookie cutters to cut into cute shapes. Decorate with herb sprigs or sprouts. Tell the girls that it’s angel hair!
HEALTHY ADD-ONS
Add some light-coloured topping such as tuna, gherkin and mayo or egg, or cucumber and mayo.
