Thread: Twisted fairy Tale Menu - need help with ideas pls

Tweet

Hi!
After some amazing help from you all with ideas for the theme, I am now looking at working on the menu.
Last year I did a whole graveyard theme which took up the whole table but also took me hours to do so I want to go more simple this year with less work but just as effective.
Using the twisted fairy tales themes i.e. doing malice in Wonderland (food will be served on the alice table), Snow fright, Hansel & Gretel, Sleeping beauty etc. - have you got any suggestions to use these themes in the buffet?

So far I have:
a gingerbread house,
cupcakes with Eat me on etc

- was thinking of the White Rabbit head and feet on the table but with the centre all gutted - and the whole thing (or part) made of food. How though... no idea! lol.

I know its cheesy but maybe apples for the poison apples in snow white ?

Hanzel and Gretel.... food in the shape of body parts or named after body parts or a candy bar

Little Red Riding Hood... Grandma Stew, Wolf Burgers, Hunter's pie... or variations of that
Or serve something like bread or condiments out of a basket

3 little pigs.... pigs in a blanket

Cinderella..... mice tails, pumpkin pies, fairy godmother finger sandwhiches

Peter Pan.... fairy wings (chicken wings)

Def not cheesy and we were thinking of injecting them with vodka if that's even possible! hehe

Oh yes, brill ideas! thank you so much!

Oo, was thinking of also making some handmade garlic bread in the form of Rapunzels hair! So basically a plait of bread - not that I know how to make it of course! lol.

Malice in Wonderland....tea and a Mad Hatter Birthday cake (with a Halloween twist of course)

Would spaghetti cooked in yellow food coloring work for Rapunzal's hair?
The Breadsticks could be Magic Wands

Handfuls and Pretzels (Hansel and Gretel) Snack mix with pretzels?

Glow in the dark room is cool....everywhere, or just in the bathroom!
You can use glow in the dark stars, or bright white paper cut into stars and a black light!
(Hint....check the paper with the black light, to make sure it will shine, some paper doesn't glow even with the black light, and you'll want to know if your paper glows before you cut out all those stars) Paper stars can be stuck on the wall with tape or a restickable glue stick!

Display the apples on a mirror or place a mirror behind the apples. On the mirror write "Mirror Mirror on the wall...

Sleeping beauty: decorate/ form food to look like a sleeping pill

Beauty and the beast: Beast Pieces (coctail hot dogs)

Jack and the Bean Stock: Vegetable Plate with Beans, or vegetable soup

The Frog Prince: Pureed Frog Prince (Spinach dip or other dip with green food coloring)

The little mermaid: seafood (Crab, shrimp cocktail, calamari) Or place a sign near the forks stating "get your combs here"

Pinocchio: Puppet Strings (spaghetti or pasta salad)

Golden Goose: Goose Eggs (Deviled Eggs) or Golden Goose (a poultry dish)

Stone Soup: Stones (meatballs)

The Emperor's new clothes: a plate with nothing on it
