It's been a long while since we have had such a party, the kind that call for some stuffed friends and a dig in the costume box, er, I mean "costume closet" as the costumes seemed to have piled up way too far these days. It seems we need a thinning. Anyway, you get the picture... costumes are required at his kind of tea party.
Here's a few scenes from the kitchen as we got to work on our orange scones that were to be the main course at the party:
We used this recipe from Martha (one that came highly recommended) but veganized it by souring some hemp milk (a cup of the milk and 1 T. vinegar) instead of buttermilk and using earth balance instead of butter.
I might add here that scones are a great project for kids because they lend themselves so well to the cutting and shaping only little hands can provide.
They came out just beautifully...
And here we are getting the tea ready, selecting the herbs and flowers to make it just the perfect blend:
And finally, the table is set, the tea is served, and the scones are... devoured!
Just in time for the sun to come out again.
