Afternoon Tea Luncheon with the Girls

After visiting London and having a wonderful afternoon tea/champagne luncheon at Fortnum Mason, I have become obsessed with throwing afternoon teas for my girlfriends. I think this one is number 3. I invited one of my best friends, her cousin, and her cousin's daughter. There were two kinds of tea: a hot darjeeling and a iced tea. For lunch, I made a ramen cabbage salad, deviled eggs, cranberry scones, and four types of sandwiches: egg salad, cream cheese and smoked salmon, cucumber butter, and caprese tortilla rollup. I attempted to make Beignets from this boxed mix I bought when I went to New Orleans. Somehow, they didn't puff up quite as nice as I remembered from Cafe Du Monde. I was a little disappointed, but I will try to make them again in the future. All in all it was a relaxing sunday luncheon and I can't wait to throw another tea party!
