chefmelody said:Make a "bacon & eggs" skillet cake! I saw this one time. Bake a cake in the family size skillet. Frost it with off-white icing. Then put two egg-white shaped spots of white icing on one side. Use drained apricot halves for the 'yolks'. Then, make bacon shaped pieces out of fruit leather and put them on the other side. It's really cute!
this sounds good, too. Chef Melody, have you quit your day job for PC?
I am not able to check this site out every day.
But, my dh wants me to "retire" my 40 hour a week job and concentrate on PC.
What made you finally do it?

Some ideas include serving tropical-inspired cocktails and mocktails, using colorful and playful decorations like inflatable palm trees and flamingo drink stirrers, and playing tropical-themed pranks on guests like filling a piñata with silly items instead of candy.
In addition to providing entertaining activities and delicious food and drinks, make sure to set the atmosphere with upbeat music and encourage guests to dress in tropical attire. You can also plan fun games and have a photo booth with props for guests to take silly pictures.
Some simple options include fruit skewers with a tropical twist (such as pineapple, mango, and kiwi), coconut shrimp with a sweet and spicy dipping sauce, and mini Hawaiian pizzas with pineapple and ham. You can also serve tropical fruit punch or a refreshing watermelon and mint salad.
Some ideas could be mini bottles of sunscreen or aloe vera, tropical scented candles or lotions, or fun sunglasses with a tropical pattern. You could also give out small bags of tropical candy or personalized keychains with a tropical design.
You can have a fake "coconut bowling" game where the coconuts are actually filled with confetti or have a "beach ball" pinata that explodes with silly string. You could also serve "fake" tropical drinks made with unusual ingredients like pickle juice or green food coloring. Just make sure to label them as pranks so guests don't accidentally drink them!
