What to cook for a children's birthday: menu, recipes, setting a sweet table, photos and videos

Children's birthdays are always associated with a lot of gifts, surprises, games and, of course, a delicious and beautiful festive table.
It is very important for children that holiday dishes are not only tasty, but also beautiful. And if the holiday dish arouses keen interest and curiosity among children, you know that you managed to prepare something that is truly appropriate.

In this article, the news portal “Vtemu.by” has prepared for you some interesting and easy-to-prepare dessert ideas for children, which will definitely be an excellent addition to a birthday pie or cake.

So, let's try to create a children's birthday menu.

Preparation: where to start?

You need to set a goal, organize a stylized Candy bar. This will be helped by following some recommendations.

The children's sweet table should be decorated in one chosen style, which would be harmoniously related to the theme of the celebration. Here are some types of topics:

1. Topics corresponding to certain professions (astronauts, scientists, farmers, detectives, etc.).
2. Which correspond to the child’s hobbies or abilities (singing, dancing, drawing, etc.).
3. Related to his interests (biology, physical education, geography, etc.).
4. Corresponding to the selected cartoon. Can be classic or modern.
5. Which corresponds to the cultures of the peoples of the world from different eras (ancient knights, Vikings, musketeers, Indians, etc.).

In the end, the theme can be even simpler: stars, hearts, stripes, butterflies, flowers. It is better to use a brightly colored tablecloth. If it is plain, it can be decorated using flags, serpentine, garlands, stickers and appliqués.

You should decide in advance whether the arrangement of tables, dishes, decorations and other components will be symmetrical or asymmetrical. It is important to adhere to this even in small details.

The most favorite children's holiday

Birthday. The most desired children's holiday. Why do children love him so much?

• Because they feel special on their birthday.
• Because their parents are organizing a fun holiday for them.
• Because friends come to visit them.
• Because they receive gifts.

  
  Birthday is a holiday that all children love. So give your baby a fairy tale, extravaganza, magic on this day! This is what he expects from you

• Because they blow out the candles on the birthday cake.
• Because they become a whole year older.
• Because on your birthday you can do a lot of things that are not possible in ordinary life.

It’s only a pity, as Crocodile Gena correctly noted, that such a wonderful day happens only once a year. Therefore, it is your sacred duty, as parents, to make sure that before your next birthday, your child remembers the previous one with great delight. And I looked forward to him becoming another year older. And again a fairy tale will come into his life...

Entertainment for children

Without a doubt, it will be difficult for you to keep small, restless guests at the table for a long time, so take care of an entertainment program for them in advance. Children love to frolic and play. Give them the opportunity to throw out their energy in an outdoor game, otherwise they will become naughty and play around right at the table. What can you play with your children? In any case, the main thing is to take into account the age of the guys.

Sample games and activities:

• dancing to music;
• various competitions, both intellectual and sports;
• ball games;
• games of hide and seek, blind man's buff;
• collective drawing;
• watching cartoons;
• games with soap bubbles;
• joint photo shoot;
• gift giving;
• playing with balls and launching them into the sky;
• and many other activities that you only have enough imagination for.

You will certainly be able to give your little birthday boy the best holiday in the world. Just stock up on patience and love. And as a reward you will definitely receive a joyful children's laughter and eyes full of happiness!

Color spectrum

When preparing a children's sweet table for a birthday or other occasion, you need to choose the right color scheme for the upcoming celebration. There is no point in using many colors. The motley, multi-colored color of the celebration decoration elements will only irritate the eyesight and quickly tire those present.

Taking into account the general color scheme, you need to determine only 2-4 colors for color design. Dishes, other elements, including napkins and the sweets themselves, should be of these colors. For example, to celebrate the anniversary of the birth of a child, a combination of white and pink is suitable if it is a girl. Decoration in white and blue tones is used by those who celebrate their son’s anniversary.

Solemn surroundings

Where does a child's birthday begin? Of course, with the decoration of the holiday. And it, in turn, depends on the theme of the celebration. There is no limit to the flight of imagination here.

Start from what your little one likes. Heroes of fairy tales or cartoons, travel, pirate stories, space adventures, robots, princesses, fairies, scientific discoveries, etc.

And more balls, tinsel, lights. Caps for guests, whistles, pipes and drums are required. What would a holiday be without all this? The little birthday boy should be congratulated loudly, colorfully, solemnly. And nothing else!

The menu for a child’s birthday should include simple dishes that are convenient to eat with your hands: sandwiches, tartlets, canapés, for example.

In a modern way

In a modern way, the table is decorated using, in addition to small cakes, cookies and pastries, such new items as tarts, candied fruits, nuts, donuts, etc. Newfangled sweet things include decorating various confectionery products with marshmallows. The possibilities here are unlimited. If you use your imagination, you can easily create ornaments, curlicues, figures of cartoon characters, and so on from this sweet material. The color of the marshmallow can be changed by using natural dyes.

As for non-edible decorations, a children's sweet table can be supplemented with flower arrangements, fruit vases and special serving utensils, although there should be less of them than when setting tables for adults. Paper figures and garlands are well suited as table decorations at events for children.

What to cook for a children's birthday for boys and girls aged 3 to 6 years: ideas, menus, tips

If desired or necessary, the menu can include sweet and nutritious dishes, including curd pudding, sweet omelette with strawberries, curd truffle and others. When organizing a children's sweet table for the little ones, it is better to focus on light dishes. After all, children of this age love to frolic and run around in between meals. It will be difficult for the guys to do this with overloaded stomachs.

We must not forget that this is not a simple menu, but a festive one. Therefore, it is imperative to include such unusual things as hot dishes with surprises, fruit “kebabs” and other unusual delicacies. Delicious souvenirs made from plastic spoons filled with chocolate heated in the microwave or in a water bath look quite original. Finally, the product is decorated with marmalade, nuts or small sweets and tied with multi-colored bows.

In general, the menu for celebrating a children's birthday differs from an adult's in the minimal content of harmful products. Therefore, it is better to season all mayonnaise salads with fresh yogurt, and smoked meats with boiled meat. In the summer, the easiest way to organize a sweet table is with a lot of fruit. This can be a variety of salads, slices, baked goods with berries and fruits.

List of sweet dishes:

• Watermelon salad
• Pineapple baskets
• Open pie with apricots and jelly
• Strawberry soufflé
• Natural compotes
• Ice cream with fruits

List of salads and main dishes:

• Caesar salad"
• Vegetable salads with boiled meat
• Mashed potatoes with baked cutlets
• Sandwiches with red fish
• Gefilte fish

In winter there are not many fresh fruits and vegetables. Basically everything is imported and quite expensive. That is why in winter, potatoes and meat, as well as pickles, become the basis of any table.

Sweet options:

• Milk jelly or soufflé
• Cottage cheese casseroles or cheesecakes
• Ice cream
• Cakes with protein cream or condensed milk
• Cupcakes with jam or jam

Main course and appetizer options:

• Potatoes with mushrooms and baked meat
• Chicken chops with cheese
• Beet salad with beef
• Cabbage salad with corn
• Seafood salad

It is quite difficult to prepare meals for such young children. The thing is that many people are allergic to citrus fruits and honey. Such children should not be given food from the common table. That is why you will have to cook separately for adults and children.

Fruits: simple techniques for beautiful presentation

How to Serve Desserts That Don't Require Cutlery

The subtleties of serving for serving Cake Pops and sweet fruit canapes are described in the article about birthday parties for children from 3 to 5 years old - in the section of the same name.

Ingredients for sweet and fruit canapés

All types of seasonal fruits, hard cheese, nuts, marmalade, marshmallows. And don’t forget about shaped cutting, including cookie cutters and a teaspoon of apple, pear, watermelon and melon pulp.

Win-win options for fruit canapés:

• A cube of hard cheese, pears, berry marmalade, a small slice of orange.
• Cubes of fruit wrapped as if in a sail with a thin slice of Dutch cheese and a mint leaf.
• Different varieties of marmalade, alternating with slices of lemon or orange.
• Berry canapes: one whole raspberry, blueberry, blackberry, strawberry. You can thread it alternating with squares of cheese or into a long strip of hard cheese, like beads in a ribbon.

Any of the fruit pieces can be dipped in melted chocolate - white or black. And in what combination to string your chocolate neighbor is a matter of personal taste.

Sliced ​​fruit in a watermelon or citrus bowl

Canapes are convenient and beautiful. But you can do it differently and no less effectively. Offer children forks and the freedom to choose from a large selection of seasonal fruits and vegetables.

When serving, use natural containers - a bowl made from watermelon and melon peels, bowls made from grapefruit halves and large oranges, from which the pulp has been extracted.

Dishes

Multilayer desserts can be conveniently and effectively served in beach cups. They are made of harmless fiberglass (do not react with food), are lightweight and do not slip in the hand, and do not give off a specific plastic or other foreign smell. These cups are available in various shapes.

Thanks to the different colors of these dishes, dishes receive additional colors. For example, the green or orange color of the dessert will sparkle brightly in a black glass, and the transparent color will clearly show each part of the multi-layered dessert. You can purchase spoons and plates of the same colors and quality.

What to serve?

Traditionally, the cake was considered the fundamental, and often the only dessert at the holiday. This tradition has not disappeared completely, as there are still many who like to celebrate various anniversaries in the classical style. However, new types of dessert are gradually becoming fashionable.

Now the list of delicacies served is very wide: muffins and cupcakes, cupcakes and profiteroles, cake pops and macaroons. This is not a complete list of popular dessert dishes in our time. If, nevertheless, the choice is made in favor of a cake, then it should be unusual, colorful and, of course, very tasty in order to surprise and delight the children.

In order for the children's sweet table (photos of some ideas are presented in the article) to be sufficiently stocked with sweets and all tastes to be satisfied, you need to create a menu correctly. It must contain desserts of three categories.

The first of them includes one, maximum two main or special types of dessert (cake or cupcakes). In the second category there can be up to 3 types of additional desserts (cupcakes, parfaits, mousses, cookies, profiteroles or mini-cakes - to choose from). The third includes 2-3 types of sweets, which are usually used to fill the table. For example, jellies, marshmallows, marshmallows, candies and more.

Healthy sweets for children

Curd cheesecakes with honey, pancakes with curd filling, envelopes with cheese, envelopes with jam, marshmallows, marshmallows, marmalade, dried fruits.

If you show your imagination, you can continue the list. Homemade scones with nuts, biscotti, oatmeal bars with honey and nuts, cheesecakes (not fried, but baked in the oven), casseroles with apples.

All this can be prepared at home, using quality ingredients.

Baked apples with cottage cheese

This dish is very useful for a child as a healthy dessert.
Apples contain a lot of useful elements and are available all year round. The benefits of cottage cheese are invaluable in the formation of a strong musculoskeletal system of a child. You will need : apples, cottage cheese, honey (or sugar).

Method of preparation: wash the apples and remove the center containing the seeds. We try not to pierce the apple all the way through. We form a good notch. Place sweet cottage cheese into the resulting hole. Place in a preheated oven for about 30 minutes. As soon as the apple has become soft (you can check with a wooden skewer), the dish is ready. Serve to children when cooled.

Syrniki

You will need:

• Cottage cheese – 500g
• Semolina - 1/2 tbsp.
• Eggs - 1 piece
• Sugar - 2 tbsp.
• Flour for deboning
• Oil for frying
• Vanilla sugar - 1 sachet

Cooking method:

1. Combine cottage cheese, semolina, sugar, vanillin, eggs and mix the mass thoroughly. For the semolina to swell, you need to let the mass stand for 15-20 minutes.
2. Next, with wet hands we form balls and sausages (for the ears), roll them in flour, flatten them and place them in heated oil in a frying pan. Fry on both sides until slightly golden brown.
3. Place the finished cheesecakes on a paper towel to absorb excess oil. Monitor the heating of the oil - it should be well heated, but not “burn”. Therefore, the fire is in the middle position after the oil boils. Serve warm or cooled in the form of bunnies with sour cream and honey.

Baked pumpkin

You will need:

• pumpkin and sugar

Cooking method:

1. Cut the vegetable into pieces along with the skin, but without seeds,
2. The baking sheet can be covered with parchment or foil.
3. Sprinkle each piece, dip in granulated sugar and place on a sheet in the oven.
4. As a sugar-free option, you can dip a piece in honey.

Harmful sweets for children
Caramels, lollipops, chocolate candies with fillings, popsicles, chewing gum, cakes, shelf-stable cupcakes, store-bought cakes, sweet soda and other store-bought sweets!

Rules for choosing dishes

And as a side dish you can offer a very unusual treat.

Potato mushrooms. Kids will undoubtedly love this side dish.

Potato mushrooms (recipe)

Preparing these mushrooms from potatoes is quite simple.

1. Take as many potatoes as you expect guests.
2. Wash them and boil them in their skins until almost done.
3. Drain the water and let it cool.
4. Then use a knife to cut out a mushroom-shaped piece from each potato.
5. Add some salt to the potato mushrooms and grease them with sunflower oil.
6. All that remains is to put them in the oven until golden brown.
7. Before serving, the mushroom caps can be painted with colorful sauces.

It's hard to find a child who wouldn't consider pizza one of the most brilliant inventions of mankind.

And again, here you have a vast field for creativity. Pizza size, shape, filling. All this can be so diverse that one has to be guided only by the culinary preferences of each individual family.

Fruits can be served during the sweet table, or from the very beginning of the holiday. Children, while having fun, will not refuse to feast on them periodically

Various animal decorations for dishes are perfect for girls. You can prepare a salad in the shape of a tiger or lion's face. An excellent option would be the Turtle salad. It looks delicious on the table, delighting the kids.

Cottage cheese and pineapple dessert

Pour into bowls and let harden completely in the refrigerator. We take the dessert out of the bowls before serving and serve in the form of hemispheres on contrasting saucers.

Cupcakes, cake pops and other sweets

Now let's tell you a little more about sweets. Cupcakes are cupcakes that are topped with chocolate, fondant, or whipped cream. This covering should be in the theme of the celebration and match the color of the overall decor. You can use a pastry pencil to apply a design or inscription using condensed milk or jam.

Cake pops are cakes that are very similar in taste to traditional “potatoes”, but with a more complex preparation principle. Marshmallow is essentially marshmallow divided into small airy pieces. Licorice sticks are a healthy treat made from licorice root juice. Macarons are multi-colored, small-sized cakes made from airy dough.

5. Close the cakes and form into balls.
6. Bake the candies for 7-10 minutes at a temperature of 180 degrees.

Decorate the finished candies with honey and sesame seeds. To do this, dip the candy in honey until half is immersed, take it out, turn it and again dip it halfway into the container with sesame seeds.

Fruit slices and cheese baskets

You can also serve sliced ​​fruit in waffle cones. Jelly and ice cream will undoubtedly be to the liking of the kids. Cheese baskets are festive and very tasty. To prepare them, just melt the cheese a little, and then, when it hardens slightly, you need to form baskets out of it. You can put, for example, fruit slices in them.

The children's holiday menu cannot but include this item. Fruits. They are tasty, healthy and, with appropriate design, very impressive. If you cut them into pieces, you can lay out whole fruit pictures on dishes. Fruit canapés are also very popular among children.

Some Tips and Cautions

When preparing a sweet table in kindergarten or at home, you need to remember the following:

1. You should not use sliced ​​bananas, apples, or tangerines for decoration. These fruits tend to quickly darken or become chapped. Because of this, the attractive appearance of the dish is lost.
2. When organizing a holiday for the little ones, berries with seeds are not placed on the table so that none of the kids choke.
3. To make it more convenient to take desserts with your hands, they should be small in size, that is, portioned.
4. Food and drinks, which due to carelessness can leave a stain on clothing, are best served to children at least 6-7 years old.
5. If the celebration will be celebrated outdoors in hot weather, then you need to take care of ice molds for placing the fruit.
6. When a celebration is organized for the little ones, the table setting should not only be beautiful, but also safe. It is best to use unbreakable containers, such as plastic or cardboard. Considering that children of this age do not have much perseverance, it would be reasonable to organize the event on the buffet principle.

To ensure that none of those present develop allergies, it is better to use artificial flowers, not real ones, for decorating the table itself, for example, made with your own hands from colored paper.
