Ideas for themed Afternoon Tea

If you are looking for ideas for themed afternoon tea then Alice in Wonderland Afternoon Tea is a really great option.

This classic British story pairs perfectly with the classic British tradition of Afternoon Tea.

Layers of an Afternoon Tea

An Afternoon Tea consists of multiple layers and elements including scones and cream, sandwiches and savouries as well as cakes and sweet treats.

Alice in Wonderland Afternoon Tea-Menu Ideas

Lots of afternoon tea ideas suit names based on Alice in Wonderland. Whether it’s because they are mentioned in the stories (mock turtle soup anyone?) or just because they rhyme/share an initial first letter.

For a list of Alice in Wonderland inspiration, be sure to check out this post here where I discuss different characters to inspire cupcakes.

 Sandwich Selection

3 sandwiches make for a great selection. Remember meat subsitutes etc can make these more accessible to a wider range of diets.

• Curiouser and Curiouser Cheese Mix
• All the Queen’s Men Egg & Cress
• Hummus and More! (Roasted) Peppers
• Red Queen’s Coronation Chicken
• Lost in Wonderland Ham

Savouries

• Heads Will (Sausage) Roll
• Humpty Dumpty Mini Quiche
• Croquet Ball Scotch Eggs

Sweet Selection

3-6 sweet treats, ideally half the options being ‘cake’ and the other different options such as jam tarts or brownies

• Painting the Scones Red
• Unbirthday Victoria Sponge cake
• The Knave of Hearts Jam Tarts
• White Queen’s Fruit Meringue
• Change Places Lemon Drizzle
• Bandersnatch’s Chocolate Brownie
• Just Half a Cup For Me Coffee Cake
• Don’t Forget the Key Lime Pie

Other options for sweet treats

• Pastel-iced mini cakes (as seen in the Disney film)
• Iced biscuits (as above)

To serve

Be sure to serve up your delicious tea on adorable themed plates and don’t forget the tea!

Whittards, I’ve found, often has a range of Wonderland inspired teas and even cups and teapots!
