! Let us know how it goes!! I would love to suggest a tea party to a host!
Maybe you're thinking of the Pecan Tassies. They are in the "All the Best" cookbook and those were the first dessert to come to mind when I read about doing a tea party theme. They're yummy and pretty easy!DZmom said:I've been to tea before, but not hosted a party like this. (My first is still a few weeks away.) But fingertip sandwiches with cucumber spread or watercress would be great. If you have the bread tubes you could make the bread in those and the sandwiches would be beautiful. I also know that there is a PC recipes that uses croissant rolls that would be beautiful, but I don't have access to the cookbook right now. I will post it on here later today when I have the chance. I believe it uses pecans. Buying the tea and coffee would be a great idea. It would give guest the chance to try it out and if the love it you would always have repeat customers. Can't buy it at the grocery.
Some easy recipes to consider for a Tea Party Theme Demo include classic finger sandwiches (like cucumber or smoked salmon), scones with clotted cream and jam, mini quiches, and a variety of pastries such as macarons or petit fours. You can also include a selection of teas, such as Earl Grey, chamomile, and green tea, to complement the food.
Incorporate Pampered Chef products by using their tools for preparation and serving. For example, use the Food Chopper for making fillings for sandwiches, the Mix 'N Chop for blending scone dough, and the Mini Serving Spatula for serving pastries. Highlighting these products during your demo can show their versatility and ease of use.
For decorations, consider a charming table setting with floral tablecloths, elegant tea sets, and fresh flowers as centerpieces. You can also use tiered serving trays to display food attractively. Soft lighting and background music can enhance the ambiance, making it feel more inviting and special.
Engage guests by encouraging them to participate in the cooking process. You can have them help prepare simple recipes or taste-test different teas. Additionally, sharing fun facts about tea and its history or hosting a small quiz can keep the atmosphere lively and interactive.
Promote your Tea Party Theme Demo by utilizing social media platforms to create buzz. Share enticing photos of the recipes you’ll be making, and consider offering a special incentive for attendees, such as a discount on Pampered Chef products or a raffle for a tea-related prize. Sending out invitations with a charming design can also attract more guests.
