The Tie Dye Birthday Party was a resounding success! Proof: I fell asleep with my shoes on. Thanks for coming out and for braving that hellacious downpour later. My picture here is supposed to demonstrate the complete color wheel that we achieved for that party -- and it would if the lighting wasn't so bad and if the iPhone was an actual quality camera. C'est la vie. Going counterclockwise from the top: roasted tomato salsa, yellow iced rainbow birthday cake, corn and roasted red pepper salsa, mango salsa, salsa verde, crema fresca (out of order, but where does white go?), K-ster's fab guacamole, blue corn chips in the middle, shredded red cabbage.
The grilled tilapia and the corn tortillas aren't pictured because they were probably on the grill when I took this picture. The fish tacos turned out tasting exactly like ones in Baja and I am so so so happy! We made leftovers yesterday and all the salsas were really delicious, even
without the positive influence of watermelon margaritas and mojitos!
Here's a pic of the rainbow cake once it was sliced (after an unplanned performance of "Happy Birthday" wherein I had to "blow out" a lighter). The colors ended up staying in line more than I anticipated or I would have swirled it up a bit more. But you get the idea. Honestly, not too shabby for my usual baking forays. Although we did come to the bizarre realization that blue corn chips combined with the birthday cake tasted just like Cap'n Crunch. Still not sure if that was a good thing.
