I have a baby shower to attend this afternoon and everyone has been asked to bring a plate.
Its a pink theme and my idea of pink cupcakes has been done already by the organiser (and she can bake so I am not going up against her LOL).. Its a 2pm today so I need something not too involved.. I was thinking maybe savouries as most people would take baking given its afternoon tea time but I really cant think of a single thing to make. I hate when my brain fails me! So any ideas, sweet or savoury that wont cost me too much would be great appreciated. -------------

I was at a baby shower yesterday and they had these miniature gerkins. Being pregnant myslelt, I thought they were awesome and went well with cheese. YUM- I am going to go buy some today!!
It's not pink, but all pink stuff is sweet isnt it? |

I can only think of sweet pink things - coconut ice, candy floss, mini jellies, raspberry soda, marshmellows, fairy bread with pink sprinkles, pink wafer biscuits,
What about saveloys, sandwhiches with smoked salmon or (vacuum packed) ham?? -------------

Coconut ice cake,
I make tuna parcels wrapped in filo - you could substitute salmon to make them pink - i combine tinned salmon/tuna with diced red capsicum and make filo triangles - bake and serve you can sprinkle the parcels with sesame seeds if you like ------------- http://lilypie.com" rel="nofollow">   [/url] Angel June 2012 |

You can always do savoury cases, with different fillings. ie: mash potato and chives, tin spaghetti
If you want to make it pink add in some grated beetroot while your cooking the spuds, then they'll be a lovely shade of pink. Not sure anyone will eat them. Or add tomato that makes things pink too. ------------- http://lilypie.com" rel="nofollow"> [/url] Angel June 2012 |

You could take cocktail sausages and cook them there, if they are well-cooked you should still be able to eat them?
Otherwise a sally lunn bun from the bakery often has pink icing ------------- Brandon - 05/12/2003
