It’s very hard to come up with something new for a birthday party. Especially birthday party food ideas seem to be in scarce supply nowadays. Nobody knows what to come up next, food wise, when it comes to birthday party. The food at a birthday party needs to be consistent but it also needs to be fancy. So getting this combination of practical and formal just right is a real challenge. This is why I have decided to give you some ideas that I think could work pretty well. They stood the test of time because they have worked in the past, but they also have a lot of success in the present.

1.      Pizza. The original is always best. Pizza seems to have been around for ages and there is a reason for its popularity. It is very consistent, relatively easy to make and, I haven’t met a single person out there that doesn’t like pizza. At the same time, pizza is easy to make in a very diverse number of ways. This way, you can make a lot of types and flavors, with not so much effort, so that you can satisfy every taste. If you are going to try something fancy, that few of the people invited to the party have tried, make sure that you also have pizza. It is the safe choice and if you screw up the main attraction, you can always serve pizza as the safe choice. Not all people are open- minded about new foods, so it is important to stick to the originals alongside the main attraction, which might not be to everybody’s taste.

2.      Cookies instead of cake. If you are looking for birthday party food ideas for kids this is a pretty good one. Instead of making a big cake, make little cookies that the kids can ice and decorate themselves. This way they will have a lot more fun, but they will probably make a bigger mess.

3.      The chocolate fountain. This is one of my favorite birthday party food ideas. For me, this is a much greater invention than let’s say the helicopter. I mean come on, liquid chocolate forming an unending river of delight. The helicopter doesn’t even come close. What can be more fun, food wise at a birthday party than a chocolate fountain?

4.      Hot dogs. Easy to make and always a popular choice. Of course nobody will praise you for your originality, but nobody will go hungry either. It will definitely free you up for making an elaborate birthday cake. Plus you can make hot-dog on the spot, so the food will always be fresh.

5.      Exotic fruits salad. Well this is something that will definitely prove interesting. You have to go out to your local fruit market or super-market, and pick out all the most exotic fruits you can think of. It’s a plus if the fruit have names you can’t even pronounce, makes thing all the more interesting. After you pick out the ones that look or sound the weirdest you just have to go home peal them, chop them up, put them in a bowl, and then top them off with whipped cream. The result will be spectacular, in a sense that everybody will be very curious to try, but most likely few will tolerate all these new and exotic flavors attacking their taste buds at the same time.

6.      Ice cream. Always a personal favorite of mine, ice cream is very easy to make because, you don’t actually have to make it, because it’s much easier to buy it. And really, have you ever met anybody who doesn’t like ice cream. This is one of those full proof birthday party food ideas.

7.      Food fight. Ok, this is more of an activity than a food recipe but it is definitely make that birthday party one to put in the scrap-book. Everybody will remember fondly the night when they ruined one of their best outfits, but had a lot of fun in the process. The most important thing to remember is that you will need a lot of whipped cream, and if you can get a hold of one, an octopus can turn out very useful. I mean really, how you could not enjoy throwing an octopus in your best friends face.

These were just a few of my favorite birthday party food ideas, but I’m sure you can come up with better ones if you put your mind to it. All you have to do is find a theme for the party and make the food go with the theme. If you don’t think you can cope with that much cooking, just hire a caterer. You should have fun at a birthday party, not be exhausted after several hours of cooking. So happy birthday and bon appétit!
