This morning, we had some nursery kids and their parents over for a birth-tea party. The menu? Chicken salad sandwiches, sunflower seed butter and jelly sandwiches, fruit salad, blueberry scones, artichoke dip with toast, cranberry limeade, tea, and double chocolate banana muffins baked in tea cups and frosted with pink icing. Yum! The birthday girl was a great hostess, and like her mommy, she loved the chocolate!
Everything looked great, though Lizzie looked a bit skeptical about the candle in that picture. What a lucky girl to have such a creative mom for birthday party fun:) The tea cup muffins are perfect!
I love it! How fun… and altho she won’t remember it, having those photos will be wonderful years down the road.
I love the tea cup muffins! She is making a Tommy face in the second picture for sure. 🙂
cupcakes baked in teacups! what a fun idea!!
They’re actually silicone cupcake molds–I found them at our local “urban general store” a few months ago, but they’re on amazon, too, though pricey.

I figured we’d be having lots of birth-tea parties in years to come, so they’re a long-term investment!
Just you wait; she’ll be a dyed-in-the-wool tomboy by the time she’s eight. John and I will be happy to teach her to hit like a man, shoot, clean a fish, and spit. I can see it now!
In fairness, her tea party looked like fun. I wish we could have been there.
Sigh. I think I’m destined to have tomboy daughters, if only because I can’t relate. She already likes Tommy’s cars more than her dolls.
