My sisters and I have been talking about holding a tea party for awhile now, an inspiration from my talented friend, Cin Cin Let's Eat's annual tea party (examples here and here). My younger sister and I planned this party together and decided on 3 savory sandwiches (my responsibility) and 4 sweets (sister's responsibility).
The menu...
-- Curried Egg Salad --
(inspired from here, without the celery and green onions and added about 1 Tbsp of yellow curry powder to the mix of 8 eggs)
-- Chicken Salad (courtesy of Safeway, haha) --
-- Cucumber Sandwiches with herb butter, half with proscuitto on top --
(mix softened butter with chives and salt, thinly slice an English cucumber and nicely layer cucumber pieces on bread)
-- Raspberry Coconut Thumbprint Cookies --
-- various cupcakes from Frost Factory --
-- Passion Fruit Tart with Strawberries and Raspberries --
-- Fruit Salad (not pictured) --
The spread
It was a fabulous time on a Sunday afternoon of April Fools Day. We cannot wait for our little niece to arrive in the world (just a few more weeks, yeah!).
You have to say the ugly tart is laduree! I'm not good with presentation...
