The Mad Hatter and Alice in Wonderland provided a magical moment in the gardens of The Rosemary House and Sweet Remembrances this past week. They delighted young and old with their mad antics and youthful energy. We were pleased to welcome My Fantasy Party to join us as hosts of this special summer event.
The menu included a nod to the colorful, wild, and wacky world of Wonderland. Our guests were offered Rosemary Lemonade, Pink Lemonade, and assorted hot tea. After the beverages, we offered Alice's Fresh Fruit Cup Full of Fruit, garnished with edible flower blossoms, pretty little blue borage blossoms.
The three tiered tray included an assortment of sandwiches, such as Dodo's Cucumber Round on Tomato Basil Bread, The Most Curious Square Egg with Parsley Butter Sandwich, Caterpillar's Favorite Festive Floral Sandwich, Ready for the Croquet Game Garden Veggie Tart, and (not pictured) Queen of Heart Strawberry Tarts, Did Someone Say Peanut Butter and Jelly?
Tweedledee's English Cream Scones were placed on the middle tier alongside Tweedledum's Sweet Cream and Jelly and spreaders.
The top tier featured desserts, including Festive Funfetti Cookies, Chocolate 'Eat Me' Cakes, and a 'too cute to eat' Chocolate Cherry Dormouse.
"Take some more tea," the March Hare said to Alice, very earnestly.
"I've had nothing yet, " Alice replied, in an offended tone, "so I can't take more."
"You mean you can't take less," said the Hatter; "It's very easy to take more than nothing."
A fun time was had by all!
Thought I had left a comment, but guess not. Your sweet plate looks much like one I didn't in the past. Love the tart with the flamingo standing in it. Oh and square eggs too!!! The fruit looks so festive in the colored dishes. And if course the teapot tree is just full of JOY.
