High Tea at Home

This week I held a High Tea at home for my husband's Mum as it was her birthday. I really enjoyed putting it all together! We had the following courses:
1) Champagne and strawberries with a selection of finger sandwiches:
- Egg, whole-egg mayo and cucumber
- Smoked salmon, cream cheese and chives
- Ham
- Ham and two mustards (Dijon + Honey Wholegrain)
- Chicken, whole-egg mayo and avocado
- Chicken and Rosella Fruit Chutney

2) Range of teas (English Breakfast, Earl Grey, Russian Caravan, Ceylon Orange Pekoe, Traditional Afternoon) with warm pastries:
- Plain sausage rolls

- Ham and cheese sausage rolls
- Spinach & Ricotta
3) Coffees (French Liaison, Moccona Mild & Decaf) and sparkling water with sweets:
- Scones with Forest Fruit Jam and Whipped Cream
- Plain, berry, mango
cheesecake
- Apple slice
- Chocolate caramel slice

- Fruit and custard tarts
It was DELICIOUS and we were all stuffed afterwards! Here are some pics!
