To many, the eighties conjure up memories of kitschy music, Brat
Pack movies and an explosive stock market. Remind party guests of these
rocking good times with an eighties party and an eighties menu. With
the right mix of movies, music and food, your eighties party will have
guests walking like Egyptians and waking up before they go-go.
What would an eighties menu be without eighties drinks? No drink is more definitively eighties than Tab. Contrary to popular belief, this diet cola is still available. Shopping around before your party can mean you guests will be treated to that familiar pink can. For snacks, remind your guests of that loveable eighties alien, ET. ET loved Reese's Pieces and so will your guests. You may also want to dare guests to tempt fate by eating Pop Rocks and drinking Coke.
For dessert on your eighties menu, one scene comes to mind. In "Sixteen Candles," the most well-known scene features a very special sixteenth birthday cake. To make this sweet sixteen cake, heat oven to 350°F. Grease and flour 2 (9-inch) round baking pans. Set aside. Combine 3 cups all-purpose flour, one tablespoon baking powder and one-half teaspoon salt in large bowl. Set aside. Beat one and a half cups sugar and three-quarter cup butter in large mixer bowl at medium speed, scraping bowl occasionally, until creamy. Add four eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Add one tablespoon vanilla. Reduce speed to low. Add flour mixture alternately with milk, beating well after each addition just until mixed. Divide batter evenly between prepared pans. Bake for 29 to 34 minutes or until wooden pick inserted near center comes out clean. Cool on wire racks 10 minutes. Loosen cake by running knife around inside edge of pans. Carefully remove cake from pans; cool completely. Frost your cake and don't forget the all-important sixteen candles!
For so many, the eighties remind them of youth and a carefree, buoyant time. Let your party guests experience this again by throwing an eighties party, complete with this eighties menu.
