Milk and Sugar - Secret Tea Room

We did it! Vic and I launched Milk and Sugar, an afternoon tea 'supperclub'! We rolled up our sleeves, polished the silver, put on the music and whipped up cakes and sandwiches galore for all our lovely guests. We met some wonderful people over the two days and four sittings and if we hadn't been so busy pouring tea and cutting sandwiches we would have happily sat down and joined in the fun.

In the book, the Dutchess' cook has absolutely saturated the kitchen with pepper, and the baby sneezes constantly. Alice spirits him away, only to find that he has transformed into a pig. It is never explained why this happens, but we served peppery leek tarts followed by peppery sausage roll piggies.Washed down with a glass of bubbles, our guests took their seats.

We didn't take pictures of all our cakes, and sandwiches but we served the following..
Glass of Prosecco
Peppery leek tartlets and peppery pigs
Cheshire cat striped mousse, raspberry and blueberry
Green tea and ginger 'tea cups'- edible in their entirety  
Rabbit lemon possets
