… and so does Silvia and Guido. When Silvia asked me, if I would be able to pop up our tearoom in her garden, a new idea was born and a couple of days later somewhere in Düsseldorf an afternoon tea party was held.
I went there with a car fully packed with cakes and cookies, plates, cutlery, garden tables and chairs with cushions and so on…I wanted that all guests feel welcome and at home at the lovely surrounding of Silvia’s and Guido’s garden.
I created a cake list which should cover the sweet tooth for 45 guests plus kids. Besides the freshly baked rhubarb crumble I prepared delicious scones just in time for the arrival of the friends.
Most fun I had was with preparing the stationery for this event in advance. I created a lovely placemat and napkin rings, different stickers for the cake buffet with Silvia’s and Guido’s name on it. And please look at the cookies in shape of a teabag, with personalized labelling as well. The kids just loved that stuff.
No tearoom without beautiful flowers in vintage vases!
The response of the guests was overwhelming! They did like it a lot and I had to fill up the buffet again and again…it was a great experience for me and there was enough time to chat with some of the guests.
When they found out, that I have the next pop up tearoom date already set, they told me that they won’t miss that date and wanna join again. The tearoom closed late that sunday, but it was a fantastic day for everybody! Thanks to Silvia’s & Guido’s friends!
If you live in the Düsseldorf/Cologne area, drop me an email if you want to join a PopUp Tearoom event.
