A cute and easy farm birthday cake for a barnyard birthday party can be made using the animals and farm equipment from the popular Fisher Price’s Little People farm set.

Green beans
Crushed tomatoes
Sliced potatoes
Corn
Chile with beans
Chile without beans
Vegetable soup
Mixed vegetables (Veg-All)

For some sides at the barnyard birthday party, parents can fill one bucket with apples and another with trail mix. They can then sprinkle some hay around the food table and display signs reading:

Have some tasty apples!—The Horses
Try the chicken feed!—The Hens
Enjoy the slop!—The Pigs

Haystacks are one other easy recipe for a farm theme dessert at a barnyard birthday party. To make this quick, traditional snack:

Mix 1 cup butterscotch chips and ½ cup peanut butter.
Stir over medium heat or heat on half power in the microwave.
Pour mixture over 2 cups chow mein noodles and blend.
Drop spoonfuls of the mixture onto a cookie sheet to cool.
