PopUp Tearoom, I just love afternoon tea…

… 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!

We both agreed: We really enjoyed our first Pop-Up Tearoom and do believe that our guests liked it as well. We got to know some new nice people, everybody talked, it was a very relaxed atmosphere, you just had a nice sunday afternoon with great people, with a lot (well, it was maybe too much…) of yummy goodies.

Afternoon Tea at my House

Next sunday we are hosting an Afternoon Tea at our house. I managed to create the menu, which will be placed under each plate. The challenge was, that the colours of the printed menu needed to match with napkins, mugs, plates, etc. If you love sweet treats and are wondering about the so-called „Vintage Summer Cake“ I am thinking about a triple-decker sponge cake with berries, fruit syrup and cream – something you can enjoy all summer.

We are still struggling what types of sandwiches will be served. I don’t want to offer just the very classic selection, something special with a trendy twist is a must. I also need to think about a vegetarian sandwich, is vegan also needed? puh, I have to sort all this things out until next weekend….but I will let you know!
