One of our Facebook friends, Amber, asked for some cute food ideas for her son’s upcoming Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles birthday party. I hadn’t realized that the beloved Ninjas had made a comeback and have lately become popular for the kids!
In case you need a refresher, here they are!
Following are some ideas for this Cowabunga-mazing party!
1) Serve PIZZA
You have to have the turtles’ favorite dish as one of your main courses!
2) Donny’s drink
Super easy to make and more festive than regular drinks, these turtle beverages are sure to get a comment or two from your guests. There’s even a cute little tie in the back. The best part? You can write the kids’ names on the construction paper mask once they are handed out!
See how they are made HERE.
3) Ninja Turtle Party Apples
These guys would be adorable to either serve along with all of the party food, or even to wrap up in cellophane and send home as little favors. See how they are made HERE.
4) Leonardo’s Sword
Option 1: plain celery
Option 2: peanut butter swords
I found these tiny skewers at the dollar store. Slice celery, making some small and some long pieces. Slide a small piece horizontally down the skewer. Next, slide the long piece on vertically. They hold up and look just like a little sword!
5) Donatello’s Bo
Pretzel rods look just like Donatello’s bo.
If you wanted to jazz these up a bit, you could buy some peel-able Twizzlers and wrap some around the middle for the grip.
6) Turtle Shell cake (or Rice Krispy) pops
A friend of mine got the above cake pan on amazon and made adorable cake-sickles for her girl’s birthday. We’ve all seen the round cake pops that look like a ball, but I had never seen one like this.
For the TMNT party, make cake, rice krispy treats, brownies, or cookies in the pan and frost with buttercream frosting to look like a turtle shell. Use brown and green and make something like the following pattern:

Spread the brown frosting all over the surface first, then pipe the green frosting on in this pattern. Practice on a piece of wax paper first. You can even add some green or chocolate sprinkles over the top for some texture!
