Whats on the Menu at a Mad Hatters Tea Party?
It goes without saying that tea should be served at a tea party. Offer an assortment of teas – earl grey, green tea, fruit, chai and iced tea – in different tea pots labelled with hand-written tea-bag tags. Have an assortment of mismatched cups and saucers for guests, ask family members to donate their old china or scour op-shops well in advance to build up a collection. All mannner of sweet and savoury food should adorn the table including oddly cut sandwiches (try cookie cutters), cupcakes, crumpets, scones, vegetable sticks and mini-quiches. Label some foods with notes or icing instructing guests to ‘Eat me’. Use jam sparingly, as it is ever so popular in Wonderland and make cookies cut in unusual shapes such as those that appear on playing cards. To madden things up, add a few unexpected foods such as jelly and mustard and don’t forget the butter! document.getElementById(‘adsense_placeholder_2’).innerHTML = document.getElementById(‘adsense_ad_2_hidden’).innerHTML; Setting the Table
