More Alice in Wonderland cookies...

The Disney Cheshire Cat was purchased at Disneyland. The pink and yellow flowers, edible eyes, and cookie cutters were purchased from ABC Cake Decorating in Orange, CA. The leaf gum paste cutters are available at Michael's craft stores. I promised these pictures for Morgan. I hope she likes them!

"Talking Flower" Cupcakes

These little Alice in Wonderland "Talking Flower" cupcakes are two-bite mini cupcakes. I piped three rows of petals with a 103 cake decorating tip. The edible eyes are available at cake decorating stores. The Disney White Rabbit was purchased at Disneyland. I will post an adorable "Wonderland Leaf" cookie next time.

Fairy Favorable Food

This fairy tea was prepared for a 5 year old. The Fiesta bread-and-butter plate was more durable than depression glass, which is what I usually like to use with my vintage linens. The food was quite small and easy to prepare. The tiny rose scones were baked in a Nordic Ware petit fours pan from Williams-Sonoma. The butterfly finger sandwich were filled with strawberry cream cheese. I used gum paste cutters (leaves and flowers) from Michael's to make the linzer cookies and fruit. I piped tiny flowers on two-bite muffins from the Albertson's bakery. I was lucky to find a tiny 3-tier bon bon server with leaf trays.

Sophie's Party

Last year I had some fun with my little boudoir doll after the vintage party photoshoot "Get What You Wish For." Sophie has had tea in a rose garden as well. I'll be sharing pictures of her now and then. Her name is "Sophie, The Etiquette Princess."(TM) She usually has a crown on her head, a tiny royal septre by her side, and a napkin in her lap! We borrowed Sophie's party hat from Diane White, at Whimzy. (Jamestown Village, Tustin)

The Wedding Pantry

I found a new shop in Tustin. The Wedding Pantry is located on Main Street (next to Rutabegorz) near the intersection of El Camino Real. I love the ring bearer's pillow and boutonniere pictured above. Check out their website for a list of classes and more photos of the shop.

Vintage Linens

I have a nice collection of vintage linens from the 1940s and 1950s. I prefer the floral patterns. Some people collect the fruit designs. Pink and green depression glass coordinate well with most of the tablecloths. They look pretty on tables set in the garden. Do you recognize the one used for the "Personalized Tea" Mother's Day story in the May issue of Romantic Homes Magazine?

Tea Party in the Garden

I enjoying collecting vintage photographs. These girls are gazing at a beautifully set table. It's almost time for a tea party with their dolls.
