Easter/Spring Tea Party

Spring has arrived, dare I say after all the weather we've had with 'The Beast from the East 1&2'...Spring is one of the most prettiest times of year. From the pastel shades at every corner, with Easter bunnies everywhere, to the beautiful bright daffodils and sunshine (wishing we could have more).

The Easter period is always busy for me, juggling work and using the time off I get to spend some quality time with my family and fiance. Having lots of roast dinners and of course, CHOCOLATE! 

I wanted to do a nice little pre-Easter tea party for my Mum, Dad and fiance, and of course, my cute little pooch Bonnie had to have a little fairy bun for a treat! 

I went to Home Bargains and Tesco's to buy some pretty Easter foodie/tea party bits.

The pieces I made included the Candy Floss Easter Nests, as twist on the classic shredded wheat/rice krispie cakes, eggs on a cotton candy nest. The pretty cupcake stand, with flowers and bunnies on was from Home Bargains at only £1.50.

I used some adorable Easter cookie cutters from Tesco's to create some plain Easter biscuits, with a bright, pretty pink icing. I always try to follow cooking queen Mary Berry's recipe's, as they never seem to fail.

I also used the cookie cutters to make festive finger sandwiches, with classic fillings, ham, chicken and tuna mayo.

As an extra cute touch, I got some Tesco's Bunny Bites crisps to fill in bowls!

I decided to dot a few mini Malteaser bunnies around the table and some caramels bites.

In Home Bargains I spotted the beautiful, pastel 'Happy Easter' sign, I couldn't believe this was only £1.50!!! I have seen so many signs like this for more than double the price. 

Maybe this has inspired you to do your own little Easter tea party over the Easter holidays, you don't need lots of money to have fun, just be creative!

What's your favourite piece on the tea table?

I hope you all have a healthy, safe and happy Easter week!
