I know I left on a cliff hanger with a table full of miniature cakes - well here is the rest of the story!
We went with pink and yellow lemonade instead of tea. But we did have tea cups!
My daughter made iron transfers for them to design their aprons.
These are the sweetest bunch of ten year olds you will ever meet!
Not only are they master cake decorators, they are also master cookie icers!
I spent lots of time on the tea party foods, but our favorite was
This tray of what one of the girl's mothers called "spring rolls". She is Filipino and these were a long thin cylinder of a wrapper rolled with shredded vegetables inside and fried until very crisp. They arrived fresh and hot and tasted pretty darn close to heavenly. We all loved them!
We finished with cupcakes and rainbow ice cream.
And then we baked mini loaves of chocolate bread!
After all the baking, the girls wrote and performed skits featuring the birthday girl. And every parent arrived on the dot at the end of the party to retrieve their daughters. And the gramma returned home exhausted.
The end.
I will be back soon with the next tea party. This time for my high school friends.
