"The Tea Room Experience"

Although I absolutely love hosting my own tea parties, I also enjoy visiting local tea rooms! This week I decided to try out a place in downtown Orlando called "The Tea Room Experience".


All of the details at this tea room were so fantastic. In fact, I was so intrigued by all of the beautiful decorations around me that I kept forgetting to drink my tea!

                                                         

I ordered the Afternoon Tea Experience package which included a choice of loose leaf tea (enough for three cups!), assorted finger sandwiches, scones with devonshire cream and raspberry preserve, miniature pastries, and their signature tea infused cupcake! Everything was so fresh and flavorful!


The atmosphere was very relaxed and peaceful. The style, I would say, was more contemporary than most tea rooms I've seen, which definitely set it apart! The room wasn't very big, but at the same time, seemed quite spacious. The entire seating area was bright with a lot of natural lighting coming in through the windows. So that made it great for getting lots of pictures!


I thought it was a nice touch that they had some tea sets available for purchase! Definitely great gift ideas for your fellow tea loving friends (or for yourself)!


My grandma, mom, sisters, and I all had such a wonderful "experience" at this lovely tea room! What a fun place to have a girls day! We will definitely be back!

Spooky Tea Party

  My latest tea party was frightfully delightful! I asked my friends if there was a theme they would like for my next tea party and they chose 'spooky'. Since it was still summer at the time, I was careful to not include specifically Halloween/fall time details such as pumpkins. Another one of my goals was to make this event feel eerie and dark, while still maintaining a tea party-esque atmosphere, adding touches of elegance amongst the gore! I set the table with these cut-out sugar cookies that are made to look like decapitated people. (Yikes, maybe I should have put a trigger warning at the top of this post?) I used a Christmas gingerbread man cookie cutter, sliced off the heads before baking, and then added some red icing after they cooled to look like blood. For the second dessert idea, I made red velvet cupcakes and decorated them with dyed pink buttercream frosting to look like brains! My favorite of all the food I served were the "finger sandwiches"! (Get it? S...

Sips by

I was so excited last Christmas when my aunt surprised me with a year long subscription to Sips by ! It's an amazing company that puts together boxes of teas to send directly to your home, personalized with your taste in mind. Since I had such a great experience, I thought I'd share some of the information in case anyone is looking for clever gift ideas for the tea lovers in their lives! When I started it at the end of last year, I was prompted to fill out a little questionnaire on their website so that they could get a sense of the types of teas I like and dislike. They used that information to help determine what to include in my boxes. I was pretty open minded when answering the questions, so I ended up with a wide variety of options. That is exactly what I wanted because it gave me the chance to try teas that I might not have normally purchased myself! Below is a glimpse of what the boxes and their contents look like: Each box came with 4 different kinds of teas to enjoy an...

Murder Mystery Tea Party

I have always wanted to do a murder mystery themed tea party because I thought it might be interesting to combine elegance with just a touch of horror! So this week I finally went ahead and organized one! Special thank you to my mom and dad for helping me with the story line and other details! And thank you also to my grandma, sisters, and the D'Angelo family for attending and participating! For this event I kept the menu relatively basic by preparing simple finger sandwiches (egg salad as well as cucumber) and a fruit tart. To add to the theme, I iced some sugar cookies with black question marks. My mom used the same black icing to draw the outline of a body on top of the cake, but added some colorful flowers to balance out the gruesomeness. ;) The setting was a high school reunion! In attendance was a tough-girl bully, perky ex-cheerleader, glitzy celebrity, exhausted mother, successful business woman, cafeteria lunch lady, and drunken teacher. Each of these party ...
