Planning a princess-themed party? You’ll need to think about more than just the decorations. What food will you serve? If you want to stick to your theme, I have 25+ princess party food ideas that are both magical and delicious.
25+ Princess Party Food Ideas that Make Everything Else Look Basic
1. Beauty and the Beast Pizza Roses
How cute are these pizzas? They’re fitting for a princess, and they have all the flavors that kids love.
You’ll need pizza dough, pepperoni, mozzarella cheese and pizza sauce.
Start by rolling the dough into a rectangle. Add sauce, cheese and top with a line of pepperoni. Roll up the dough to create a rose. Repeat with the rest of the pizzas.
2. Butterfly Fruit Tray
Serve fruit in a magical way to make your healthy treat a little more fun for your guests. Use a butterfly cookie cutter to make the shapes.
The best candidates for this type of snack are watermelon, cantaloupe, pineapple and kiwi.
3. Dragon Deviled Eggs
How magical are these deviled eggs? And they’re so fun to make – even the kids will want to join in.
Start by boiling your eggs. Once they’re hard-boiled, drop them in an ice bath. Don’t peel them just yet. Crack the shell gently. Then place them in a Ziploc bag and start adding food coloring. Once you peel the shell, you’ll see the cool speckled pattern that makes them look like dragon eggs.
4. Fairy Dust Popcorn
This recipe is super simple, and the results are so magical. Grab your bag of popcorn and melt some white chocolate with a little bit of oil. Then, toss the chocolate mix with your popcorn and add sprinkles. I recommend adding sanding sugar and unicorn sprinkles to make this glittery and colorful.
5. Grape Fairy Wands
One of the simplest but cutest princess party food ideas on this list. Take long skewers and start threading on the grapes. To create the star at the top of the wand, use a star cookie cutter and cut your favorite fruit.
This could be pineapple, watermelon, cantaloupe or any other type of melon.

6. Wild Mushrooms Snack
These magical mushrooms fit the princess theme and they’re a treat that the kids are sure to love.

7. Butterfly Sandwiches
Sandwiches are always a crowd pleaser at parties. Why not make them more fitting for a princess party?
All you have to do is prepare your sandwiches and use a butterfly cookie cutter to cut them into this fun shape.
Offer a variety of sandwiches to keep everyone happy.

If you don’t mind a more involved project, these lollipops are perfect for your party. The kids will love them – they’re sure to steal the show.
Follow the directions in the Pin to make your own lollipop candies and then add edible flowers to the center.
You’ll need lollipop molds, sticks and edible flowers, which you can usually find in the grocery store.
9. Strawberry Shortcake Skewers
Princess party food ideas don’t have to be complicated. A recipe like this is quick and easy, but the kids will still love it, and it fits the princess theme.
Grab some skewers and start threading on your ingredients. Start with a whole strawberry, then add a dollop of whipped cream, a chunk of pound cake, half a strawberry, more whipped cream, another piece of cake and one other whole strawberry.
10. Honey Lavender Truffles
These truffles are fit for a princess, and they don’t even require any baking.
The filling is a mix of white chocolate, heavy cream, culinary lavender, honey and food coloring. The coating is just melted white chocolate.
If you’re worried the kids won’t like the flavor of lavender, you can always leave this ingredient out and just add purple food coloring to the filling.
11. Fruity Pebbles Rice Krispies Treats
These Rice Krispies treats are so full of color, and your guests will love that they have Fruity Pebbles cereal inside.
The recipe is really simple. You’ll need butter, vanilla extract and marshmallows for the base. Then, mix in Fruity Pebbles cereal and melt. Pour into a baking sheet and let it set.
And once it’s all ready to eat, you can drizzle on some melted white chocolate.
If you’re not a fan of Fruity Pebbles, you can use Fruit Loops or any other type of colorful cereal.
12. Rainbow Dessert Tray
Keep your guests full and satisfied with this giant dessert tray. You can add whatever your heart desires: donuts, gummies, chocolate covered pretzels, cookies, wafers and anything else you want.
I recommend setting out paper cups for your guests to grab what they want and snack as they’re chatting.
13. Crispy Cotton Candy Cheesecake Bomb
A no-bake treat that’s perfect for a princess birthday party. You’ll need cream cheese, heavy cream, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, vanilla wafers, white chocolate and cotton candy-flavored sprinkles.
The vanilla wafers will serve as the base for your bombs. Make your cheesecake filling, set it on top of the wafers, and then roll each bomb into the sprinkles to complete this treat.
14. Enchanting Strawberry Roses
These strawberry roses are so pretty, and they make a fun, healthy treat to serve at your party. Transforming strawberries into a rose shape is easier than you think.
Here’s a tutorial that shows you how:
I recommend serving your roses on top of a piece of cake so they don’t fall apart when they’re picked up.
15. Strawberry Brownie Kabobs
Dessert on a stick. Who doesn’t love that idea? And while these aren’t as magical as other dishes on the list, they tick all the boxes in the flavor department. Everyone will love them.
Each skewer should repeat these three layers: strawberry, marshmallow and brownie bite. Add drizzles of hot fudge on top to complete the dish.
If you’re pressed for time, you can use store-bought brownies or ones from the bakery.
16. Rice Krispies Wands
A treat fit for a princess. These wands are simple to make. You’ll need butter, marshmallows and Rice Krispies cereal for the treats. Use a star cookie cutter to cut your treats into the magical star shape.

One of the most colorful treats you’ll ever make. Your guests will love these bite-sized snacks. It’s a mix of Fruit Loops and Fruity Pebbles cereal, along with colorful marshmallows and melted white chocolate.

You’ll need 8 cups of popped corn, which you can make in the microwave or use a popcorn machine if you have one. Add one cup of melted chocolate and rainbow sprinkles to the popcorn and allow to cool until the chocolate hardens.
Add red or pink food coloring to the melted chocolate mix to create the desired color you want for your popcorn.

Pink macaroni salad is one of the easiest options to make and it looks so good. You’ll want to prepare cooked pasta and add some pink dye to the water to help create the pink aesthetic. In a bowl, whisk together your apple cider vinegar, pineapple juice, yogurt and sugar. Your goal is to find a balance of creamy, sweet and tart.
Season, combine and refrigerate until it’s ready to serve.

For these pretzel wands, you’ll use regular pretzel sticks that you buy in the store and dip them into a pot of melted white chocolate. Sprinkle some purple and pink sprinkles on the top while the chocolate is still hot so that they stick to them.
