Recently, I helped the beautiful Aylin, currently studying at one of our very own famous Cambridge Colleges to celebrate her birthday at her home in Cambridge City Centre. She wanted to have her very own Secluded Tea Party in her fabulous Cambridge home with her wonderful friends and with that she hosted her very own Alice in Wonderland inspired Tea Party.
She even dressed as Alice for the afternoon tea and she looked brilliant, having sent me some of her own photos from the celebrations herself.
This was just the reason for me wanting to get involved after a quick chat with her a month or so before the event and I made the entire table of Afternoon Tea Cakes and Savouries for her birthday tea party whilst she rented a gorgeous & delicate mismatching china to use alongside it. It was the perfect match and a very relaxing version of The Secluded Tea Party.
We love to help out with birthday celebrations and a birthday tea party is the perfect and most memorable way of sharing your festivities with your friends and family. We can even supply colourful candles, decorations and treats to make sure that you do not forget any of those tiny details you may need for your birthday party. We will help to take the stress out of it and allow you to actually enjoy the event as much as your guests, allowing it all to be a surprise for you as well! We can even make the entire menu a surprise if you would prefer not to know and make it all that more exciting for you on the day itself, although if you have a favourite recipe or cake desire then let us know as it will appear at the tea party table should you wish.
Miss Sue Flay loves surprises and helping to make a special day even more so…. Secrecy and tact is our middle name, so if you are wanting to celebrate or book an event without the whole world knowing about it, again, we are more than happy to not say a word. We are called the Secluded tea Party for a reason J
We now have a vintage girl guide-esque Bell Tent, complete with purpose built afternoon tea table and floor cushions for you to enjoy an al fresco tea party or afternoon tea picnic.
You can even add a pamper session, live music, even paintballing, chocolate tasting and/or making, cake or cupcake decorating alongside your event, just ask and we will be more than happy to help you arrange a fun activity should you wish to keep yourselves busy and pampered over your afternoon tea. The list is always extending, so just ask what we can offer and we will be more than happy to oblige.
You can visit www.secludedteaparty.com for more information on the packages that we can offer or simply email: cake@secludedteaparty.com to discuss your desiress and requirements.
The tea party menu that Aylin had chosen as follows:
Delicate Fingers Sandwiches, with a selection of fillings
Cherry & Vanilla Scones, served with luxury strawberry preserves
Oreo & Chocolate Cheesecake Truffles
A Large Pea, Pancetta & Mint Tart, highly recommended served warm for a cold snowy day
Miss Sue Flays’ Signature Chocolate & Malteaser Cake with Chocolate Buttercream Swirls and plenty of Birthday candles for the birthday tea party girl to blow out on her very special day
And not forgetting a strong pack of locally sourced Winter Spice Tea Blend to warm their cockles
It was a pleasure to be of help and if you would like your very own Secluded Tea Party, it would be equally so to help you too.
Miss Sue Flay
