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!
