Jelly? Strawberry blancmange? Strawberry milkshakes? Anything involving ice cream? Funnily cut-up fruit?

No cake, no cupcakes, no ice cream??

Uhhh ... OK ... what about rice krispie treats made with pink marshmallows ... or you can make vanilla pudding with a drop of red food coloring to make it pink?

How soon do you need this, and how is the humidity? I know of a couple potential candy recipes, but one of them would require low humidity (hot doesn't matter as much).

There are plenty of pink cookies as well, incorporating cherries and berries. And food coloring can make just about anything pink.

Or you could go the easy route and make tons of pink lemonade. LOL

How about unicorn poop cookies?

I don't touch the stuff but... Pink jello?

there are a couple of recipes, not sure what floats your boat

Belgian Biscuits are pink pink pink http://m.notquitenigella.com/index.php/2009/11/19/belgium-biscuits-fairy-godmothers-kitchenaid-domestic-goddess-giveaway/

Would a cake pop count as cake?

Pink popcorn!.
Maybe brownie or cheesecake pops dipped in pink chocolate with pink sprinkles or sugar?
Pink candy apples or pink chocolate dipped/swirled caramel apples?
Pink lemonade bars, strawberry sandwich cookies (pink sugar cookies with strawberry buttercream sandwiched), rev velvet cheesecake brownies, pink chocolate dipped/sprinkled pretzel rods...
I have too many ideas, ha.

Apologies, if these won't do, but I have a couple of suggestions.


This pavlova is certainly pink and sparkly. I suppose if you can't handle the fruit you could try a different topping, although fruit tends to be the better pavlova topping (you could even base an entirely different dessert just on the pink meringue part!)

If you just require something for the guests to nibble on, you could always make cake pops using pink candy coating and edible glitter, or use this cookie recipe and just use pink food colour:

If all else fails, you could always make marshmallow skewers.

How about using candy melts? e.g. these cookie things

I used to make fairy wands for the little girls at my church by dipping the ends of pretzel or bread sticks in candy melts and then rolling them in colored sugars or sprinkles.

You could go all out and make candyfloss? Not much baking or cooking involved there, and it's pinkpinkpink!

Someone already suggested rice krispie treats, but I'm going to second the motion. They are easy to dye whatever color you like (you dye the marshmallow goo as it is melting in the pan, before adding the cereal), and easy to form into fun shapes. I've made two rice krispie treat rainbows in the past couple of years, for example, and they were always a big hit.

There is a recipe using a box of Betty Crocker Cherry Chip cake mix. They're called cherry jubilee bars.


They are insanely sweet but really yummy. And very pink! :o)
If you keep the plate of these on a tray of ice (which is what I do when I set out cold dishes for picnics) or in a cooler until it's time to eat, they should do just fine, even in Texas.

One of my mom's potluck standby recipes was something we just called "pink fluff". Coolwhip, Cherry Pie Filling, some Pineapple (crushed?), and some chopped walnuts. Very pink, very yummy, and stands up to heat.

If you mix together strawberry Jello and cool whip, it makes a yummy pink mousse like thing.
