When crafting your afternoon tea party menu, be sure to include all the classics like cucumber tea sandwiches, egg salad sandwiches and scones with clotted cream and strawberries. Serve a mix of sweet and savory items to ensure there’s something for all of your guests. Of course, it wouldn’t be afternoon tea without plenty of sweets like petit-fours, macarons, mini cupcakes and cookies. The key is that all the treats are small, dainty and bite-sized so your guests feel comfortable serving themselves.
