Tea Party

When I was younger I used to organize some chic tea parties! 

I simply loved everything tiny and delicate, but mariage and a kid later I found myself with no time...

So this year I decided to organize a pink Tea Party.

I found this amazing invitations ...

I asked my friend Vera to make me this gorgeous cake!

I decided with pink velvet cupcakes and a fantastic pink buttercream.

I printed this bottle wrappers to my my water bottles beautiful.

I wrapped some chocolate bars to give as favors to my guests.

My tea bags...

I decided for these bouquets and put them in tea cups and a silver tea pot.

I printed these from a free site and theey turn out great.

These swirl cookies were a hit, too.

And these amazing tea pot cookies were a success!

We had such a great afternoon!

Thank you everybody for coming!

French Macaroons

So, what can I say, I decided to host a tea party and no party is complete without petit, pink french macaroons.

So after a few you tube movies and a big thank you to Beth from Entertaining with Beth here I am with the result.

I must add that it was not difficult. You must follow the instructions and not deviate. NOT DEVIATE. This part is important. 

I just strugled with the temperature of the oven. 160° and still too hot...

And you must use one of those templates to get them all the same, and that's it. go go go

I used the one from get creative juice, as you can see, :) just simple and perfect.

But I am a difficult person, so I asked myself, do I realy need a template... Here is the result with and without template...  

What do you think?

Of course I need a template, and here it is. Much, much better!

Now we wait for half an hour and then oven with them.

Not a very good picture, but believe me, they are great!

I decided to make a raspberry filling and a nutella filling.

Sorry no recipes, but you can findthem everywhere!

Just lovely!
