Game On!

Use an old monopoly board covered in plastic wrap and line up town house or club crackers (the rectangles) on each space. Top with a fruit or vegetable of the right color. Use a bowl of dip for the chance squares or more veggies.
Checkerboard chicken salad sandwiches are made with white or wheat bread . . . the filling on these was all the same although you could alternate it also. After making the sandwich just lay them on your board (this was a marble board so I wasn't worried about cutting it) and cut with a sharp knife on the lines. Lay them out alternating and then use olives and grape tomatoes for the checkers (on toothpicks).
Obviously you could do better on a dice cake than I did (I was out of time) but it was a cute idea if had been executed a little better. I also taped monopoly money to the cups with a few of them labeled on the back for door prizes.

Use yatzhee cups and other board game accessories for candy holders and decorate with game boards, twister mats, etc.

April Fools!

This is a meatloaf cake with mashed potato frosting and ketchup decorations. It can also be done in cupcakes. Make sure you peel the potatoes well and beat them until they're very smooth before frosting.

Some Beach, Somewhere

Pina Colada's with cherries and reddi whip. I used the Bicardi mixers and water.
This little scene was created with bell peppers, carrots, pineapple and a lot of toothpicks.
Cucumber boats for the dip, watermelon wave-cut boat and deli platter.

I decorated with a big beach umbrella, beach towels, with chips and ice in sandbuckets.
