From decorations to food presentation, here’s how to make the most of your blue party theme and showcase your blue party food in style.

Blue Party Decorations

Balloons: Choose a variety of blue balloons in different shades and sizes. Consider adding helium-filled balloons for a floating effect, or create balloon bouquets for table centerpieces.
Banners: Hang blue-themed banners or garlands across walls or along tables. Opt for banners that spell out party-related phrases or simply feature blue patterns.
Tablecloths and Napkins: Use a blue tablecloth as the base and complement it with coordinating napkins. You can mix shades of blue for a gradient effect or stick with a single shade for a more uniform look.
Plates and Cups: Choose blue or white plates and cups. For a touch of elegance, consider using blue-rimmed dishes or cups with a subtle blue design.

Floral Arrangements: Arrange blue flowers in vases as centerpieces. Hydrangeas, delphiniums, or blue roses can add a touch of natural beauty.
Candles: Blue candles or candle holders can add ambiance to your party. Arrange them in clusters on tables or along a buffet line. 

String Lights: Use blue string lights to add a warm, inviting glow. Drape them around the room, along railings, or around the edges of tables.
LED Light Up Decor: Incorporate LED decorations in blue, such as light-up balloons or light-up table centerpieces.

Displaying Your Blue Party Food

Themed Serving Platters:

• Use blue serving platters and bowls to match your party theme. White or clear glassware can also highlight the blue food and make it stand out.

Food Labels:

• Create small, blue-themed labels for each dish. You can use blue card stock or labels with blue accents. Clearly label the food items so guests know what they’re enjoying.

Tiered Stands:

• Use tiered cake stands or cupcake towers to elevate your blue-themed treats. This not only makes the food more visible but also adds a stylish touch to your display.

Decorative Garnishes:

• Garnish your blue foods with complementary decorations. For example, use fresh blueberries or edible flowers to enhance the presentation of your blue donuts or cupcakes.

Ingredients:

• 6 medium apples (such as Granny Smith or Honeycrisp)
• 6 wooden skewers or sticks
• 2 cups granulated sugar
• 1 cup light corn syrup
• 1 cup water
• 1 teaspoon blue food coloring
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
• Optional: 1/2 teaspoon of edible glitter or sprinkles for extra sparkle

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Apples:

   • Wash and thoroughly dry the apples. Remove the stems and insert a wooden skewer or stick into the top of each apple.

2. Prepare a Baking Sheet:

   • Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat. This will be where you place the coated apples to cool.

3. Make the Candy Coating:

   • In a medium saucepan, combine the granulated sugar, corn syrup, and water. Stir over medium heat until the sugar dissolves.
   • Bring the mixture to a boil without stirring. Use a candy thermometer to monitor the temperature. Continue boiling until the temperature reaches 300°F (150°C), which is known as the hard crack stage.

4. Add Color and Flavor:

   • Place the coated apple onto the prepared baking sheet.

6. Add Optional Decorations:

   • If using edible glitter or sprinkles, sprinkle them over the coated apple before the candy shell sets.

7. Cool and Set:

   • Let the candy apples cool completely at room temperature. The candy coating will harden as it cools.

8. Serve:

   • Once the coating is set, your blue candy apples are ready to be enjoyed. Serve them as a fun treat at parties or as a colorful snack!
