Ain’t No Party Without Food — Bookish Food Ideas For Your Bookish Party {Top Ten Tuesday}

20200505 Bookish Food Ideas

Hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl

Hi everybody, and welcome to a new Top Ten Tuesday!

Today’s topic is all about bookish parties and I wanted to highlight one of the crucial elements (and my favorite) of any party, namely THE FOOD. Now a little disclaimer: I am no kitchen princess. I’m not even a kitchen mouse. I suck at cooking, baking and anything related to it and I’m not very fond of it either. But eating, especially sweets and snacks? I am awesome at that!

So I did not come up with any of the ideas below, nor do I have any idea on the difficulty levels of them (okay to be fair, some of these seem easy enough for even me to pull them off). But all of them look good and like a lot of fun for any bookish party for young and old!

Book themed cupcakes

If you’d like to keep your bookish party general and classy, one can never go wrong with bookish cupcakes!

Polyjuice Potion Punch

Polyjuice Potion Recipe - TGIF - This Grandma is Fun

I would not add any hairs to this recipe to make sure no one would accidentally turn into a cat, but if you don’t do that I’m sure you’ll be just fine!

Ferrero Rocher Golden Snitches

Peeta’s Burnt Nut and Raisin Bread

Peeta-Bread-600x369

Admittedly, bread alone does not look very festive, but add some butter or nice dip and I would love it!

Alice In Wonderland Eat Me Cookies

I’m not sure if these cookies will actually turn you into a giant or shrink you, but they do LOOK delicious and honestly, I’m not sure if I’d be any better than Alice at walking away without eating one.

Simon vs the Homo Sapiens Agenda No Bake Oreo Cheesecake

You could always just add regular oreos to the party table and call it done (that would be my strategy), but this cheesecake also looks waaaaay too delicious.

And when in doubt…

Hodoritos

Tell Me:
would you like to have any of these at a bookish party? And would you try your hand at making them yourself or are you like me and would you just eat them?

      2. By the way, have I mentioned that I have lived in Belgium once. Years ago. I even met my husband there.

        1. That’s so cool that you loved in Belgium and met your husband here! We’re a small country but still nice I think haha 🙂

          1. Definitely nice. We don’t live as close anymore as we used to but we still love going back. Had planned a weekend with my three brothers and their wives for August which now has to be cancelled but there’s hopefully a chance next year.
