This past week was super busy for us! Which is fantasic, I catered and assisted with planning a Hippy Themed Tea Party. This was so much fun, I made a topsy turvy cake, the bottom was a teapot with peace signs and smiley faces, bright flowers and the words love and peace written on it! The top was a teacup on a saucer, it was huge I have to say, the teapot tier was chocolate cake with a cream cheese buttercream frosting and 5 layers high. The tea cup tier was vanilla cake, filled with strawberry and cream cheese buttercream. It got RAVE reviews! I was so pleased to hear that, I think sometimes I am my toughest critic. But I love being able to improve my skills as as decorator.
It was also a lot of fun to put together the menu for the party, food wise, I chose:
Brandy Snaps, chicken triangles, tea sandwiches in the shape of little tea pots and filled with PB& J for half, and the rest of the tea sandwiches were a pineapple cream cheese mixture. The girls LOVED it! We also did an Orange Cheesecake Bar, fruit with a yummy dip, and blueberry tea bread with a lemon cream cheese spread. I am making myself hungry just writing about it!
It was a great party, let me jus say 12 year old girls CRACK me up! What a fun way to get a peek inside their world for an afternoon.
