Serve sports-themed food items at your next event.
A trip to the ballpark can be replicated in a sports-themed birthday party, corporate event, sports-bar theme night or just getting together with friends to watch the big game on the television. Wow your guests with traditional and modified snack items usually found at professional and semi-pro concession stands.
Snack Bar
Include a nacho bar as a sports-themed snack food.
Stage an area in the party venue for a snack bar that allows participants the option to grab-and-go with their food items. Arrange a nacho and taco bar with cooked and seasoned ground meat, nacho cheese sauce, guacamole, salsa, diced onions, jalapeños, bacon bits, sour cream and diced tomatoes. Allow participants to help themselves to a plate of sporty snack foods just like the ones served at the ballpark or stadium.
Finger Foods
Cracker Jack is a traditional baseball snack food.
Commonly found in concession stands at sporting events, finger food candy and snacks such as Boston Baked Beans, sunflower seeds, and Hot Tamales always go over well. Offer Big League Chew bubblegum, peanuts in the shell and Cracker Jack as traditional baseball options as well as Corn Nuts and Slim Jims for additional hand-held snacks. In lieu of only snacks and candy, serve miniature hot dogs or sausages wrapped in crescent roll pastry and sliders with cheese and vegetable toppings.
Dessert Cakes
Replicate various sports ball designs onto round cakes.
Personalize cakes and cupcakes with sports-themed decoration. Trim a 13-by-nine-inch cake into a football shape and decorate with brown and white icing. Cupcakes iced in white frosting can be transformed into baseball cupcakes with pieces of red shoestring licorice. An eight-inch round cake can be decorated as a soccer ball with black and white icing accents, while a sheet cake can be cut into a team jersey and iced in the team colors.
Stadium Snacks
Serve cotton candy as a sports snack.
When the budget allows, rent snow-cone, popcorn and cotton candy machines to integrate a sporty feel to your party or event. Although often made at fairs and carnivals, these snack foods can also be found at stadiums and sporting events. Ensure that before the event, you purchase enough materials to provide snack foods to each person in attendance, including snow-cone syrup, paper cones, ice, popcorn kernels, oil, popcorn bags, candy floss and cotton candy paper cones. Enlist volunteer help to make the snacks on order.
