Christmas Tea Party
An elegant afternoon tea is an easy mode to throw a Christmas party or girlfriend go-together
Two friends and I were hostesses for our study guild's Dec coming together, which was to include a program nigh England, plus a cookie commutation. Then the iii of us decided to make the gathering a Christmas Tea.
We set tables for four with white linen cloths, Christmas prc, a teapot and quilted tea cozies in holiday prints. The food was assail glass plates on tiered plate holders at each table.
Egg 'n' Cress Tea Sandwiches, Date-Nut Fruitcake, Christmas Petits Fours and Hot Spiced Tea (all shown at right) were inspired by the types of treats that were traditionally served at Victorian tea parties.
In addition, we served scones with lemon curd and jam, cucumber sandwiches, mincemeat mousse and apricot tea cakes.
New Take on Fruitcake
Dissimilar traditional fruitcake, with its night color and dense texture, our Date-Nut Fruitcake was low-cal-colored and light-textured, flavored with orange, coconut, dates, raisins and basics. It was broiled in a fluted cake pan to give it a unlike shape.
The Hot Spiced Tea we served was delightful. Anybody enjoyed its spicy cranberry season and wonderful odour!
The Egg 'n' Cress Tea Sandwiches looked very festive when we cut them out with a holly-leaf cookie cutter. We used both white and wheat bread to vary the color and season.
The pretty, squeamish Christmas Petits Fours were bonny and fun to make. You tin can trim them simply with sprinkles or more than elegantly, as time allows.
Wreath-shaped candy canes made beautiful easy napkin rings. And we plant booklets titled Christmas Tea Time, with holiday stories, poems and recipes, to give as favors.
Cookies baked by the club members for our commutation were prepare out on a tabular array around a small feather tree trimmed with cookie cutters. Subsequently the tea, each of u.s.a. boxed upwardly three dozen to take abode. Nosotros had extra cookies, which we took to shut-ins.
The afternoon was a huge success! All of us agreed this holiday theme would work for other groups. So, in the spirit of Christmas, I'm happy to share it!
