So I'm planning on doing an epic meal time style party this summer, and I'm going to theme all the food around video games, as most of the people that will be there are gamers. I'm thinking retro gaming stuff like mario, donkey kong, zelda, megaman, etc. Nothing like Metal gear solid or halo.
So far on the menu I have:
Pokeball sliders: Home-made buns painted with red food coloring to make the top bun red, the patties will be the black line in the center, and the bottom bun can just be left plain.
Mario coin sugar cookies: Oval shaped sugar cookies glazed in yellow icing with the center oval drawn in black frosting.
Triforce Calzone: 3 enormous triangular calzones, painted with yellow food coloring or possibly just with food coloring mixed into the dough, each with different fillings(one pepperoni and mozzarella, one hawaiian style with pineapple, ham, and mozzarella, and one with bbq chicken) crimped together at the edges into one huge delicious triforce.
Donkey Kong Barrel Cake: 8 1-1/4" thick 10" wide circular layer cakes, 2 chocolate, 2 white, 2 strawberry, and 2 banana, stack on top of each other, carved into a barrel shape, covered in chocolate icing and the donkey kong logo written in red and yellow icing.
Red, Blue, and Green potion: Hawaiian punch, Ice blue raspberry lemonade, and Limeade.
Kirby Cream Puffs: Pink Cream puffs stuffed with either boston cream, whipped cream, or chocolate mousse, with black icing for eyes/mouth.
Metroid Prime Bacon Morph Ball Bomb Fritters: Bacon fritters, adding a little red/orange food coloring, and sticking in a little piece of scallion on each side for the green circular bits.
Sonic Golden Onion Rings: Fresh vidalia onions dipped in home made beer batter and deep fried.
This is all I've thought of so far. I would absolutely love to hear any ideas people may have for this amazing event! Please give me any input of things you think would be cool, delicious, just plain awesome.
*disclaimer* There will be a lot of minors at this event so unfortunately we can't have excessive alcohol use, so please leave any suggestions like that at the door. Thanks!
