Star Wars Inspired Party Food

With it being May 4th, I thought it was only fitting that I shared with you some Star Wars inspired food ideas.

My son's favorite toy is his Yoda pillow. He loves it and carries it with him all over the house. Since I was due with baby number four on my sons birthday, I combined his birthday with my husbands to make sure he got a special celebration before our newest addition arrived.

My husband loves Star Wars so what better than a mini Star Wars inspired party to celebrate both their birthdays. I didn't go all out with their party since I was eight months pregnant but I tried to still make it semi cute.

I will say that celebrating their birthday's together made for some cute Daddy & Me pictures!

For your Star Wars inspired party, you can go all out with food and decorations. There are a ton of free printables online or items you can purchase at stores. Since Star Wars is a popular theme, you shouldn't have a problem finding party decorations.

I attempted to make a cool cake that you would probably see on an episode of Nailed It if you saw what I was going for. I poured melted chocolate on top of the cake and it didn't harden all the way or give the dripping effect that I was going for because my cake wasn't tall enough. I also used broken chocolate pieces to make a cool effect but the printed out cartoon characters covered it up. Although it wasn't my best looking cake, it tasted good!

Like I said, I didn't really decorate aside from the food. I made a few food labels using some free character clip art I found online and fun names to label the food. I saw a few food labels floating around Pinterest but they didn't have everything I needed so I made my own. You can also easily make labels with paper and markers.

The Star Wars inspired food we used:

7 Leia Dip - 7 Layer Dip & Chips
Light Sabers - Chocolate Covered Pretzels decorated red & green
Obi-Wan Kabobs - Fruit Kabobs
Wookie Cookies - Chocolate Chip Cookies (you can add eyes and frosting to make them more realistic)
Vader Tater Salad - Potato Salad
Thermal Detonators - Chicken Wings
Yoda Soda - Green Punch, Sprite & Pineapple Juice Mix
