from the archives 2011 ..... flower themed afternoon tea party

In February 2011 my daughter hosted a flower themed afternoon tea party.  We had cupcakes, biscuits in flower shapes (of course), sandwiches, scones and chocolate covered strawberries.  It was a lovely afternoon and almost all of the decorations were made by myself with my daughter’s ‘help’!  It is really quite amazing if you think outside the box and use what you already have around the house.  One thing I did learn was the type of food was a bit too fancy for the 9 year old girls -they did not like the white chocolate scones or the flourless orange cake, luckily the adults did so next time I will just host one of these for my friends rather than my daughter’s!
