Easter Champagne Tea

While the mommy cat's away... the little ones throw a tea at home. and what good reason is needed other than it's the easter long weekend to have a few good gfs come by for a time of food, champagne and gossip?

thanks to g's table cloth and some of s' plates... the menu consisted of old classics and new recipes
a selection of cheese
pavlovas
truffle grilled cheese with ham
egg salad topped with crunchy bacon
opened faced scrambled eggs topped with truffle oil and shaved parmesan
cucumber sandwich (g made this)
tea eggs topped with sour cream and chives (g made this)
milo cupcakes with condense milk icing
scones with homemade clotted cream n jam
copious amount of champagne and bellinis

this must have been one of the cheapest party i've thrown and it turned out great....

we had some girly time first then it was an open house with a few nieces coming over for a mini egg hunt, followed by the guys for dinner of a quickly tossed aglio olio and bread pudding...
by the end of it, i believe the whole meal had used about 30 eggs and we finished 10 bottles of champagne
i'm officially out of all white liquids at home... time to stock up :)

hope you had a good easter too!
