Celebrating Mother's Day with Afternoon Tea

Mother's Day is always a popular day to enjoy Afternoon Tea and this year was no exception. 

The tables held the tea options for the day and the featured menu for mom's special day. The salad featured a Strawberry & Cucumber Salad with a herbed vinaigrette. Strawberries, cucumber slices and fresh radish were dressed with a vinaigrette loaded with fresh herbs from the garden such as spring onion, dill, and mint and seasoned along with cumin and paprika to create a colorful seasonal salad.

The sandwich medley featured quite an array of sizes, shapes, and textures. Starting at the top of the plate, there was a Rotisserie Chicken Salad in a Pastry Shell, Sliced Radish Round with Herbed Butter, an Almond Bacon Cheese Crostini, Veggie Confetti Triangle topped with a turnip heart, Sliced Turkey with Honey Mustard on Cinnamon Raisin Bread, and an Orange Hazelnut Sandwich topped with a mandarin orange. 

The scone course included our Traditional English Cream Scone and the ever popular Lemon Pecan Scones. Toppings included Sweet Cream, Lemon Curd and Raspberry Preserves served alongside a variety of fresh fruit including a strawberry topped with cinnamon sweetened mascarpone cheese and pistachio nuts.

The dessert medley included a Strawberry Rhubarb Trifle, a Buttermilk Cake with Lemon Buttercream, and a Glazed Toffee Bonbon. The desserts were all placed atop an adorable teacup shaped napkin.
