Melbourne Cup Hightea 2023

Let’s Do HighTea at Home

 

What a brilliant idea! Let’s have High Tea at home to usher n celebrate the Melbourne Cup this year!

Becky made all da fancy sandwiches but no egg??? I love my EGG … so last minute I made some and they got totally smashed!!! 

Smoked Salmon

Cucumber Chicken

Pesto Ham

Spinach Dip

Humble egg on left

Salmon Lettuce

3 breads (multigrain/white/wmeal)

High Tea was not hard to put together and it turned out to be a pretty good spread even if I say so myself and in the comfort of our own home.  

Salmon/Caviar Cucumber thingies

Date Scones

Scone with cream

Blackberries/strawberries/Blueberries

Procuitto pear balsamic glaze parcels

I reckon we killed Langham’s High Tea for freshness n our sandwiches were way more tasty and fancier.  For what they are charging nowadays, especially when the kids have to pay nearly full price it was cheaper to cater for ourselves at home! Lola’s date scones were next level not to mention her Black Forest scones:)

Simon as Princess Belle

Eva changed into Princess Ariel

Girls got dressed up and us ladies donned  on our fascinators and there was bubbles served… so we were all set for da races!

Cheers

We watched the race live on telly, but did not bet on any horses.  Just as well we did not rush to the Book Makers or we would have been kicked in our teeth/mouths!!! Better stuffed with sweet treats and washed down with bubbles!

Girls and their winners

It was a fun afternoon at home and everyone enjoyed ourselves, so looks like we will be having more High Teas at home in future!
