My friends and I threw a baby shower for our soon-to-be mom friend last weekend, and boy was she surprised! It was an afternoon tea kinda theme with just the gals drinking tea and eating miniature size foods... dainty? not so much.. but heres some pics of the setting and spread.
We did a navy blue, tangerine and white color theme because we wanted to stay away from the typical pastel baby blues, yellows and pinks that are most common at baby showers. We each made a couple different foods, some savory and some sweet. They all had different textures and colors and all very rich in flavor, which went well with the teas we had served.
The menu:
English raspberry scones w/ honey butter
Pumpkin spice cupcakes w/ cream cheese frosting
Lemon tartlets w/ strawberries
Coffee meringues
Green tea cheesecake
Bacon and zucchini quiche
Spinach and feta spanakopita
Roast beef and dijon tea sandwiches
Garden salad
Gorgonzola bruschetta
Assorted hot teas
Peach iced tea
Earl Grey tea cookies and tea for favors.
(everything homemade... except for the green tea cheesecake)
Planning this baby shower was a lot of fun. I love planning the details and the menus and trying out different things that I think would go together very well. Maybe I should become a party planner or something like that. The afternoon tea baby shower turned out really well and best of all, the mom-to-be had a fun afternoon with just the gals.
