Question

Okay, so my 14th bday is in like a week, and I am having a beach party with friends, and then staying at a nearby resort/hotel (we are walking to it). What kind of food should I have? I want the party to be absolutely great, but the food must be portable, not to mention yummy and chic.

Answer 1

yummy finger foods

Answer 2

I would bring a big bag of tortilla chips and salsa to start with. Everyone loves chips and salsa. If you want it to be &quot;chic&quot; you can bring a bowl to dump the salsa in from the jar, and you can use an exotic salsa like newmans own pineapple salsa, or newmans own peach salsa. Both are very good.

Next, I would bring cupcakes instead of a birthday cake. With cupcakes you don&#039;t have to worry about plates and knives, like you do with regular cake. You can also make these cupcakes, which are very delicious and cool looking:

Tuxedo Cupcakes

1 (8-ounce) package cream cheese, softened

1 large egg, at room temperature

1 1/3 cups sugar, divided

1 cup miniature semisweet chocolate chips

1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour

1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder

1 teaspoon baking soda

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 cup warm water

1/3 cup vegetable oil

1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Steps:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Line 2 muffin tins with cupcake papers.

In a medium bowl, beat the cream cheese, egg, and one third cup of sugar on the medium speed of an electric mixer until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes. Stir in the chocolate chips and set aside.

In a large bowl, thoroughly combine the flour, the remaining cup of sugar, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and add the water, oil, vinegar, and vanilla. Mix the wet and dry ingredients until just blended.

Fill each muffin cup one-third full with the cocoa batter, then top with a spoonful of the cream cheese mixture until the paper is about two-thirds full. Bake 25 to 30 minutes, or until the tops spring back when lightly touched. Let the cupcakes cool in the pans for 10 minutes. Remove from the pans and cool completely on a wire rack.

I would also do a fruit and vegetable tray, because everyone loves those. Since you will be bringing the food to the beach, I&#039;m assuming you&#039;ll have a cooler, but not necessarily somewhere to heat everything up in. Also, remember that you are not dealing with 30 year olds who have been around the world. You and your friends are between 13-15 most likely, so you will have to limit your foods and recipes to things that will be pleasing to everyone. I would personally order some sandwhich rings from Publix or whatever your local grocery store is, because they come in their own containers and you can take them anywhere and they are delicious. With the fruit, veggies, chips and salsa, get some chex mix - or make your own and add fun stuff to it - and cupcakes you will have a great party. Here is a good punch to make that tastes like a similar one that contains alcohol, but this one does not.

Equal parts of orange juice and cranberry juice. Enough sprite to carbonate the drink. Bring the juices and soda separately and mix when you get to the hotel room. Bring a big pitcher, or something to mix them in.

Happy B Day and good luck.

Answer 3

A beach party should have seafood, unless you and your guests don&#039;t like it.  You should consider where the party is and go with something seasonal and local to highlight how special the area is.  You could also do an ethnic theme - for instance, almost everyone likes Mexican food.

How about grilled shrimp with a cilantro-lime glaze, mini black bean quesadillas, fresh grilled tilapia wrapped in a banana leaf, plantain chips with dipping sauce, and mini churros for dessert?
