Rev Up Your Appetite for an Indianapolis 500 Party

With over 85 years of history, the Indianapolis 500 is the granddaddy of American racing. What would an Indianapolis 500 party be without an Indianapolis 500 menu. Give guests a multi-course menu to take their appetites from pace laps, through the excitement of the race to the thrill of victory.

Use racing terms for your Indianapolis 500 menu to keep all aspects of the party focused on this great American spectacle. Start Indianapolis 500 party guests off with a Green Flag Salad of field greens, tomatoes, red onion and a selection of dressings. For a main course, bratwursts, hamburgers and hot dogs can easily be prepared on the grill and wrapped in foil to evoke the feeling of being at the track. Throughout the day, beer, soft drinks and even fresh squeezed Lemon shakeups keep that "at-the-track" feeling alive.

For dessert, keep the Indianapolis 500 menu rolling onto Victory Lane with a checkered flag cake. While this may sound complicated, it doesn't need to be. The basic layout is a three layer round cake. Start with a 9-inch round cake pan. Center a 6-inch round pan inside the 9-inch pan. Center a 3-inch pan or ramekin inside the 6-inch pan. Fill the center and outer pans with chocolate cake batter and the middle ring with white cake batter and bake according to directions. Do this twice and reverse the color pattern once. Stack the layers so that chocolate is over white and vice versa. Frost the cake and when cut, your guests receive a piece of the checkered flag! Serve with cold milk just like the Indianapolis 500 winner drinks.

With planning, an Indianapolis 500 menu can be even better than being at the big race.
