I am helping to organise a coffee morning for our local amateur dramatic society with the subject matter of 'Miss Marple's Tea Room', with the belief of having a exceedingly proper tea room set-up with doilies, petits fours type entry. Does anyone have any thinking as to presentation, recipes etc? There will be a constrained budget and a very small foyer to put the event on surrounded by.
Answers:
How about copying an afternoon tea at The Ritz (look at their website) - cut the sandwich small and take sour the crusts, lots of cakes and pretty plates near doilies... You could offer lots of different teas too. Could you baptize cakes (or nickname for the tea) after Miss Marple (or Agatha Christie) books, characters etc.? Good luck.
Are you gonna call it 'I could murder a cuppa' ??
You can't thump fruit cake, shortbread etc, and just preserve the tea coming!!
Fantastic idea. How roughly speaking Cucumber sandwiches next to the crusts cut off. Two kind of tea and little bridge rolls filled beside egg and cress. Sponge cake and scones.
There is an afternoon tea website that tells you adjectives about etiquette. Someone must be competent as well to bring hold of an old-fashioned cake book. Orgainse respectively person to net something.
Yes! Cucumber sandwiches are a must, egg and cress, gentleman's relish, cheese, boiled ham. Cut into little triangles and cut the crusts rotten. Scones and jam next to clotted cream, little iced fancies, (make the icing different colours) shorbread, chocolate cake and a Victoria sponge occupied with raspberry conserve and dedged in icing sugar, and loads of tea! If you can't find a proper cake stand, lately use normal plates but beside pretty doilies on them tea in china cups, and submission lemon slices as well as milk
