MAREVEL's The Avengers Party

This is a great party for a birthday or just to get a group of rowdy boys together to act out their best super hero scenarios at the tail end of Spring Break.  We've got an Ironman Head Fruit Platter, Thor Brownie Hammers, Captain America Cookies, Hulk Muscle Pudding and more!  Check out the entire party detailed for you...

I found a nice variety of food/drink with The Avengers on the packaging:  Cheez-Its (stamped with Avengers symbols), Captain America Cool Ranch Doritos, Hulk Doritos, Ironman Nacho Cheese Doritos, Dr. Pepper sporting Ironman, and more! 

I've never set up a party using my entry table, so I cleared the entry accessories and started placing the Avengers party supplies:  Avengers tablecloth (used to skirt the table), Avengers door hanging, Avengers 8pk masks, Avengers erasers, Avengers plates & cups, the Original Avengers movie,  Captain America movie, Ironman trilogy, Hulk movie, Avengers toys - galore!

 I trimmed the two $5 movie posters 17"x17" and taped them to the front of my framed photos.  Easy decor that packed a big punch!

Speaking of packing a big punch...here are the Hulk lemon and marshmallow pudding cups served at the party.  

 2 simple steps- empty the lemon pudding into a bowl and stir in blue food coloring to turn it green.  Add some mini marshmallows for Hulk muscles.

I found this Hulk head with drawing instructions here.  I added the heads to a page you can click to print for your party:

Next, Captain America cookies!  Below, you'll see the supplies needed to create the Captain America faces.  I used an egg cookie cutter for the head shape.  You'll need flesh color, blue, black and white frosting.

 The head wings were make from fondant using the wings off of this heart cookie cutter:

The center Captain America shield is make of fondant that could be used for a cake topper.

 My favorite was the Ironman Fruit Platter.  Start by dicing pineapple, strawberries and a pear.  Wash some blueberries to outline the face so it stands out a little better.  Step-by-step below (left to right):

The secret to the fruit platter is building the fruit up- think 3D!  

 I'd say the Thor brownies were the biggest hit of the party.  I made cookie dough brownies and wrapped them in foil.  The hammer handle is a jumbo Tootsie Roll attached with a toothpick.

 That's half of a jumbo Tootsie Roll and double sized brownie!  It's huge.  Like Thor.

Avengers Party-Goers!

 The masked men didn't hold back filling up their plates with snacks.

 Those Doritos Jalapeno Hulk snacks (that the boy below is grabbing) are really good.

 Powering up with super hero snacks and watching the Hulk.  My friend Claudia helped with some party prep and rowdy boy party patrol.

 Amazing how calm they *look* in this photo.

I hope you enjoyed the ideas from this Avengers Party as much as the boys enjoyed masking as super heroes for an afternoon of movies.
