2011 has definitely been the year of afternoon tea. I don't think I'd ever had it before my mum's birthday in January but since then I've been for a few and loved all of them. I decided to re-create afternoon tea for my parents while I was home for Christmas. Considering that the extent of my "cooking" is pouring cereal into a bowl I was pretty pleased with how this turned out:

Spicy mini chicken wraps and smoked salmon pinwheel sandwiches. I used leftover chicken from Christmas day for the wrap and cut it into 4 slices before poking a cocktail stick through to stop them from falling apart. The pinwheel sandwiches were super easy - I cut the crusts off some seeded sliced bread, spread with Total Greek yogurt and added a slice of smoked salmon before rolling in cling-film, placing in the fridge for half an hour and then slicing up!

More mini chicken wraps and egg and spinach bagel bites. The bagel bites were by far the messiest but I think these were my favourite.


Nutella brownies (recipe here) and Nutella crispie cakes (Nutella + fruit and fibre cereal + fridge for two hours).

Ta-da!
The china is my mum's Wedgewood set, a vintage cake-stand and a vintage "Homemaker" plate. I need to get a proper cake stand for next time!
