TEEN POOL PARTY FOOD IDEAS
Finger foods and munchies are best for a teen pool party rather than requiring teens to sit at tables. Create a buffet style table, which allows teens to select what they like and leave behind that which they do not care for.
HAMBURGERS & HOTDOGS - A BBQ is always perfect with a pool party. This can give mom or dad a "legitimate" opportunity to be with the teens and keep an eye on things.
MAKE YOUR OWN PARTY KABOBS - Thaw pizza bites, chicken nuggets, and breadstick dough cut into bite-sized pieces. Add mini hotdogs and cheese cubes. Have teens create their own kabobs on wooden skewers, bake at 425 degrees for 10 minutes.
PIZZA - Either order pizzas or have teens make their own. Provide bowls of cut-up pepperoni, ham, BBQ chicken, sausage, sliced olives, mushrooms, onions, pineapple bits, shredded mozzarella cheese, Parmesan cheese, and pizza sauce. Give each teen an individual-sized pizza crust and let them create their own pizzas.
BAKED POTATO BAR - Provide bowls of butter, sour cream, bacon bits, shredded cheddar cheese or heated cheddar cheese soup, cooked broccoli, fresh chives, etc.
TACO BAR - Provide shells, shredded chicken, hamburger, sour cream, lettuce, shredded cheese, salsa, etc.
NACHO BAR - Provide tortilla chips, hamburger, melted cheese, salsa, tomatoes, jalapeno peppers, sour cream, olives, etc.
SNOW CONES - You can either buy a small snow cone machine or rent one. Kids and teens alike love snow cones, especially when it's hot outside.
DRINKS - Bottled water, soda, juice, etc.
TEEN POOL PARTY CAKES
POOL ON SHEET CAKE - Make or buy a sheet cake and frost it white. Draw a swimming pool on top of the cake with a toothpick and fill it in with blue icing.
ROUND POOL CAKE - Make a 2-layer round cake and frost it blue. Cover sides with long cookies to create sides of a doughboy pool. Create ladder with red rope licorice. Decorate pool with plastic pool people or plastic pool-themed cake topper.
SUN ON SHEET CAKE - Make or buy a sheet cake and frost it blue. Draw a big, smiling sun on top of the cake with a toothpick. Use 2 different shades of orange or yellow to color the head and points on the sun. Make sunglasses outlined in green with black centers around eye area. Add a big, white, toothy smile.
FLIP FLOP CUPCAKES - Make or buy cupcakes and top them off with Flip Flop Cupcake Pics and decorative sprinkles.
FLIP-FLOP CAKES - Make or buy a sheet cake. Cut out 2 flip-flops. Frost them white. Either pipe out frosting or use icing in various colors to create a thin stripe design on top of them. Edge the top of each flip flop with a small candy like a Red Hot or Skittle. Create toe thong with sugared strips of red candy. In the alternative, you could just add a Flip Flop Edible Sugar Art Image or use this Flip Flop Cake Decorating Kit to instantly achieve a professional-looking Flip-Flop Cake.
BEACH BEAR CUPCAKES #1 - Make or buy cupcakes and cover with tan frosting. Top with tan frosted coconut. Add any kind of thin, flat candy on top that could look like a towel. Then place a Teddy Graham in the middle of each towel, along with a paper drink umbrella.
BEACH BEAR CUPCAKES #2 - Make or buy cupcakes and cover with blue frosting. Create a life preserver by piping on a circle of white frosting on each cupcake. Decorate with red icing stripes.
