Transportation Dinner Menu

A great appetizer to start your Transportation kids dinner party, make sailboat eggs out of deviled eggs and a red pepper sail.

Fruit Boats

Create a fruit boat with banana and kiwi slices for the boat and pineapple rings cut in half for the sail. Hold together with large plastic toothpicks.

Car Sandwich

• Hoagie rolls
• Sandwich fillings
• Cucumber cut in circles
• Pretzel sticks

Prepare hoagie sandwiches with desired meat and cheese fillings. Place two cucumber circles on the end of a pretzel stick. Make another for the back wheels of the car. Place hoagie "car" on top of its wheels and watch it get eaten up.

Cucumber Boats

Cut a large cucumber in half and scoop out insides. Fill with tuna salad, chicken salad, whatever you'd like. We filled ours with a Greek salad and added flags for fun. Perhaps we should have added a Greek flag but didn't have one!

Apple Cars

Use apple slices and grapes cut in half to create cars. You'll need to use toothpicks inserted into the apple slice to keep your wheels in place. Add little drivers, if desired.

How to Make a Sail Boat Cake

A simple method for making a sailboat begins with a 13 x 9. Follow the recipe and after it is baked:

• Allow it to cool
• Cut into a square, leaving a rectangle on the end
• On the square, make a diagonally cut to form two triangles
• Cut one triangle in half for the sail and the bottom of your boat.
  

The other rectangle will be used to make small boats.

Rearrange your pieces to have a bottom and the sails as shown below. Set aside your extra rectangle and frost and decorate the arranged pieces.

To make the small boats, divide the rectangle in three smaller rectangles. Frost and add paper sails, or additional details to personalize the sailboat for the guest of honor or to match the event's theme.

Frost and decorate how you would like. To make the small boats. Cut your rectangle in three smaller rectangles. Frost and add paper sails or whatever details you'd like.
