Unleash Your Inner Anglophile with These English Tea Themed Show Ideas

[pcheframsey]

Anyone have any good ideas for an English Tea themed show? The host wants to do an English Tea with no/short demo. I'm at a loss for what to do for this show, so any ideas would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks!

Here are some ideas:

iced tea in the quick stir pitcher - or cran-raspberry or lemon-lime fizz

little sandwiches using creative cutters, white bread, cream cheese and cucumbers or other "tea" sandwiches fillings - egg salad, strawberry jam and cream cheese

For hot tea use the carafe and a SA small bowl for sugar cubes, SA mugs (these might be too big)

if you have the three tiered SA stand use that for displaying the food.

make cupcakes in the floral silicone cupcake pan and ice with decorator bottle set and sprinkles

be careful that with this theme you are not "catering" the party - maybe have guests ice their own cupcakes or make their own sandwiches.

hope this helps, Linda

what about some scones and clotted cream...VERY ENGLISH DHARLING

cucumber sandwiches - remove crust from bread and skin from cukes to be oh so British

Get Tetley Tea - the imported one Or if you can find it "Yorkshire Tea" - even more British

Get some McVites Digestives - again imported. A plain cookie that every house in England has in the pantry.

Serve tea into China Teacups and Saucers. If you havea teapot and a tea pot cosy - even better...the Queen might just call to see if you want to become British.

Need more - pm me I was born and raised there and then moved to North America about 10 yrs ago (NY, OH, Canada).

Say things like "Bottoms Up" and biscuits.

Be sure to use the 3-tiered server. That thing was MADE for a tea-service, I think! Include some fresh fruit - cut small - maybe with creative cutters. Include some kind of protein - tuna (curried tuna salad maybe?) or devilled eggs (mash the HECK out of the hard yolks...make them very very smooth if you use the EZ Accent Decorator) or egg salad. And some kind of cookie, sweet bread or cake. And, some kind of small, beautiful chocolate.Put doilies on whatever dishes you use, and you're good to go - "PC tea service!"
