Once Upon a Dream
In a Tale as Old as Time
a Whole New World
opened up, because a dream,
is a wish your heart makes,
and now I'm Almost There
now that, at last, I've Seen the Light.
And you can join me, as I invite you to pull up a chair as the dining room proudly presents-- a Disney Princess Tea!
It has definitely been a while since my last post! I am way behind as you might guess, so lets go back to the end of June when I held a Disney Princess themed tea for some of my sister's friends!
First tea start with a glass of Peach Muscato while waiting for everyone to get there--you can see one at the opposite side of the table, left side--Katie (my sister) and the first guest had stepped outside to greet another guest and I decided to take pictures really quick because the lighting was so good with the front door open--I'll have to remember for the next time I take pictures. Katie loves peach flavored things.
I really was extremely excited about this tea--each place setting had a menu and a favor specialized for each princess "guest." The favors I put in little white boxes with silver ribbon and a sticker of the princess on each side.
I also served an item of each of the Princesses during the party:
Savories: Ariel's shimp salad on a croissant, Rapunzel's cucumber flowers, and Jasmine's hummus on pita bread.
I really loved these napkins, shown above with the Rapunzel place setting--I really wanted some that said Once upon a time, but didn't see any I could easily get online or in stores, and then two days before the party I saw these little beverage napkins at homegoods! They even had gold accents to match my new small set of goldware.
The last savory was Tiana's chicken creole bites on the light green stand I got from the last teacup exchange around a frog prince in his top hat finery. This place setting is Tiana's of course.

The scones were Belle's peach buttermilk scones. I even put a bit of yellow sugar on top to give them a golden look.
And next for dessert: Cinderella's pumpkin cupcakes with salted caramel buttercream, and Snow White's apple rose tarts.

And finally, Sleeping Beauty's cream puffs with vanilla pink and blue filling.

I served three teas at this party--Mulan's mystic dragon tea (a green tea with ; Elsa & Anna's chocolate tea (a black tea with chocolate and a hint of vanilla and whiskey); and Moana's pineapple blooming tea.
The favors were a Lip Smacker's lip gloss for each princess and a pink wrapped Godiva truffle.
