I look forward to visiting more of you this week now that we are back from vacation and things are getting into a routine again.
Last spring I donated a
Five Course Elegant Afternoon Tea Experience
to the silent auction at my daughter's
Catholic School's Spring Fundraiser.
I was surprised how popular of an item it was!
And flattered!
I recently hosted the lovely auction winners in my home.
I allowed them to chose the Tea Menu off my blogs
recipe page and they ended up with the following:
1. Strawberry Champagne Chiller
2. Fruit Medley Poppyseed Salad
3. Calla Lilly Tea Sandwiches
4. Mint Cream Cheese Butterfly Tea Sandwiches
5. Signature Black Forest Ham Quiche
6. White Chocolate Macadamia Nut Scones
They left the dessert choices to me and so I made some lovely Cupcakes, Petit Fours and these Teapot Sugar Cookies.

| Inspiration for cookies found here |
Now, I am NOT a cookie gal...I am so darn intimidated by Royal Icing and admire people likeMeaghan Mountford at the Decorated Cookie, Hanielas, The Enchanted Oven and other amazing cookie bloggers like, Sweet SugarBelle, Sweetopia and Bake@350.
So..I cheated and used fondant to decorate these cookies but frankly, I am so glad I did and I highly recommend it!
This way, I wasn't stressed
and I think they turned out fantastic!
Plus, I used a great fondant that tasted wonderful.
The how-to is super simple...
Bake some Sugar Cookies----Check
Roll out some fondant----Check
Use fancy impression mat and roll on fondant----Check
Cut out fancy fondant with same cookie cutter----Check
Attach fondant to cookie with some buttercream----Check
Cut out or make some fancy flowers and adhere----Check
Put on some sugar pearls & dragees for added loveliness----Check
I will be sharing more this Tea Party in the upcoming weeks, but I am most excited to see what YOU are sharing this week!
