So for the 50th Anniversary of "Doctor Who" I went the whole nine yards and made a pasta salad and tons of desserts!
Firstly, the salad is a bowtie pasta salad from here. I used provolone cheese, green peppers, pepperoni, cherry tomato halves, and zesty Italian dressing.
Next I made some standard cut-out cookies. There's the eleven doctors, John Hurt's Doctor, and a guess at what Twelve's costume will look like. As you can see, John Hurt's Doctor was wounded in the Time War after falling from the counter :-(. I'm aware some of the details are off: Ten should have converse and the colors on Six's coat are wrong, but it was getting late and I was tired.
I also made some Seal of Rassilon cookies, which are harder to frost than they look.
Easier to make are the Gallifreyan writing cookies, which say "Fifty Years of Doctor Who" in Gallifreyan, using the method here.
Then I made some chocolate cupcakes. The Dalek designs and a printable pdf are available here.
I frosted the rest of the cupcakes and made them the space-time vortex. I put some half chocolate TARDISes on the tops of some of them.
The chocolate TARDISes and Daleks I made using the awesome mold you can buy here.
I also made some ice cubes from the same tray. EX-TER-MIN-ATE!
And of course there's fish fingers and custard. The custard is just regular vanilla pudding, but the fish fingers are an ingenious cookie recipe available here.
Happy birthday Doctor Who, and may you continue for another 50 years!
All of the food is adorable! I really like the idea of using the ice-cube trays to make the chocolates, and they look great on the cupcakes. Also, I love the Doctor cookies! (Having trouble with my log in, but I'm illmakeitmyself.net (and am "illmakeitmyself" on Tumblr, Twitter, and Facebook).
