Don't think that 60+ is sitting around doing nothing. My mom is 67 and in a wheel chair and can cook the pants off anyone! The objective is to make what they already do easier, not limited. For example, the tart idea would be great, showing how to use the Mini-Tart Shaper for getting the pastry into the pan just right, or the scoops for getting the right about of muffin batter into the tin. The floral cupcake pan is a fantastic idea!
If it's a tea, try doing the Strawberry Amaretto Pastries, just cut them smaller, and make "tea sandwiches" using the crinkle cutter for taking the crusts off. This is a fantastic time to show off the Cookie Press!
June is great for teas, as the Chillzanne is the Host Specia - the rectangle one has the devilled egg platter on the reverse side.
Show off the Kitchen Shears by arranging some flowers in a Simple Additions Bowl.
If you google "high tea etiquette" you'll find some great ideas! and Rules!
Hope this is helpful!
