Your summer party food pics

goodtoknow user, Brian Mitchell made all this delicious party food for his daughter’s 4th birthday.

Brian said: ‘I made all the cupcakes myself, vanilla with white chocolate flavour buttercream and chocolate and turkish delight buttercream. My kids made the chocolate crispie cakes. I also made my daughter’s princess carriage cake, this again is vanilla sponge with buttercream and jam filling, yum.’

It’s a party spread fit for a princess!

We love goodtoknow user Hilary Compton‘s cocktail jellies!

She said: ‘They go down well at summer parties/bbq’s. Really easy to make, but so colourful and fun!’

Such a good idea!

Wow! Looks like goodtoknow user Christine Hall sure knows how to throw a party, we’ve never seen so much food! It all looks scrumptious, we bet the guests couldn’t believe their luck.

goodtoknow user Angie Davidson made this unique travelling cake filled with a fresh raspberry buttercream for her friend’s daughter who was going to Australia.

We can’t work out what we’re more jealous of Angie, the trip to Australia, or tasting this spectacular cake!

We love them, Andrew!
