Afternoon Tea Parties by Susannah Blake
Whether it's a summer tea party in the garden or a cosy gathering in front of a fire, afternoon tea is a treat any time of the year and the perfect way to celebrate a special occasion. Choose from an elegant Classic English Tea with finger sandwiches and Lemon Drizzle Cake; a Fireside Tea with Toasted Teacakes and Sticky Marzipan and Cherry Loaf; or an indulgent Champagne Tea with Smoked Salmon Crostini and Strawberries and Cream. Irresistibly girlie get-togethers include a Bridal Shower, a Sweet Sixteen Party and a Baby Shower. The men are invited too! Why not prepare a Gentleman's Tea, perfect for Father's Day or host a Russian Tea, with Blinis with Sour Cream and Caviar or exotic Moroccan Tea with glasses of sweet Mint Tea and Almond and Orange Blossom Pastries.
