Bridal Shower Refreshment Help- Pink Foods

[wildimagination]

So...my aunt and cousin are throwing my sister a bridal shower on May 28th and I'm helping out. The theme is Pretty In Pink (everything's pink except the gifts which are WRAPPED in pink wrapping paper).

I'm having a hard time thinking of pink food to have at the shower. The only things I can come up with are pink lemonade, cupcakes and cookies with pink frosting, and strawberry flavored laffy taffy...

Does anyone have any suggestions?

hey May 28th is the birthdate for four of my friends XD

how about strawberry shortcake? You could make the icing pink XD and my friend makes this delicious strawberry mouse/ice cream thing that's heavenly. I forgot it's official name, but I can ask her for the recipe if you'd like ^^

Well, you could try strawberry ice cream. Can't go wrong having pink icing on a strawberry cake. And they're technically red, but strawberries and Hawaiian Punch are good choices.

The perfect pink food: Roast Ham

There's also:

-Pink Grapefruit
-Smoked Salmon with cream cheese and crackers
-Strawberry Sherbet
-Watermelon
-Cotton Candy
-Cocktail Shrimp
-Tortellini with vodka cream sauce or alfredo/tomato sauce combination
-Those pink Hostess cakes and marshmallows
-Oooh! You could make a waldorf salad with shredded carrots, cubed pink lady apples, and dried cranberries instead of raisins. Then put a little red food color or a TINY bit of campari into the mayo.....
-Rasberry yogurt!

- Serano ham
- Rhubard jelly
- Rose wine eg, Mateus, Pink Pinot Grigio, Black Tower etc
- crystallised rose petals
- Turkish delight syllabub ... that's basicaly whipped cream flavoured with rosewater and put rose petals and pistachios on top
- Blanc monge

Pink is still "in"?

Frankly, you guys shoulda picked a color that is more abundent in food. Like "green".
Green peas,
green beans,
cabbage,
lettuce,
leaves in general...

Well, I'm outta ideas for pink stuff.
With any pastry,
or food you make from scratch that has a good amount of white flour in it,
just add a drop of red food coloring to it.

Like, make pink mashed patotoes,
Iono...

[nymphadora]

I wouldn't put food coloring in. That'd creep me out. XD


All I could think of was strawberry things and I think every one else did a much better job than me. I think that mixing different reds and pink would still look good though, even if they aren't techically pink. A fruit salad with watermelon, strawberries, raspberries and any others.

ehhh the only uncooked meat that is actually pink is white meat and some fish.

Red meat is red with... blood.

Which is kinda red.

And sorta - outta touch - for a baby shower (not ENTIRELY out of touch though...) :P
