Afternoon tea planning
Trying to figure out a small menu for an afternoon tea (or is it high tea?)
Trying to bring a bit back from my travels. It'd be a lot to make, but I want to try. So far what I'm thinking is...
Bottom Tier (savory)
Cucumber Sandwiches
Smoked Salmon Sandwiches
Deviled Eggs
Middle Tier (sweet)
Cream Scones
Lemon Curd
Top Tier (sweet)
Shortbread Biscuits
... I do think another savory is needed. Maybe just veggies and dip separate from the cake tiers.
I'll need to get my deviled eggs recipe from my parents and try that. It might be a bit more complicated than I'm wanting.
Actually, writing this all up - it seems like a lot to do. *thinks*
I can premake the dough for the shortbread and the scones ahead of time. Bread maker for the white bread (if I can get a good recipe...). Day in advance for the deviled eggs. So make the lemon curd and sandwich fillings the day of? And baking the cookies and scones. I think that's all doable.
Should be fun!

- White Bread recipe - Tasty Oven - Bread Machine White Bread
- Cucumber sandwiches - Classic Cucumber Tea Sandwiches. This recipe is a big excessive, probably reduce the number of herbs, but a good starting point.
- Smoked Salmon Sandwiches - Smoked Salmon tea Sandwiches
- Cream Scones - Cream Scones This is an amazing recipe and super fast to whip up. Probably going to omit currants to save money, though.
- Lemon Curd - Cream Scones with lemon curd. This seems somewhat simple for the curd.
- Shortbread Cookies - Classic Shortbread Cookies
