The FOOD was just my daughter's favorites, cucumber sandwiches without crusts, PBJ cut with flower cookie cutters and deviled ham. I made miniature scones served with clotted cream and strawberry jam, mini blueberry muffins, and rasberry tarts (cut pre-rolled pie into circles and pressed into mini muffin pans. Filling was rasberry jello mixed with Cool Whip and topped with a rasberry). A tip: Just put food on the plates and let the kids sample. I gave them choices and they just wanted the PBJ. It took some coaxing to get them to try the other stuff (they liked most of it once they'd tasted it). Same thing with the tea. We had a pot of peach tea and a pot of apple juice. I wish I had just poured them all tea so they could have had the experience of taking cream and sugar, THEN given juice to those who wanted it. Instead I gave the choice first and only my daughter wanted the tea. I wore a frilly white apron and gave a very short run-down on the history of the tea party and tea party manners.
