My challenge this year was feeding a young child with allergies
to wheat, eggs, dairy, almonds, and peanuts.
As you all know, afternoon tea involves alot of wheat, eggs, and dairy.
On the child's plate I made a rice flour pastry to wrap around the sausage,
a radish mouse instead of the sandwich, and gluten free bread for the pea sandwich.
I love a challenge; so this was quite fun to figure out.
We also enjoyed fresh scones from the oven with Devonshire Cream and a final
jar of Marmalady's Triple Sec Orange Marmalade.
Ending the tea was marionberry sorbet served in egg cups.
The two teas served were Tiekuanyin Oolong from Taiwan and Tulsi, a herbal tisane.
So there you have it my Easter Tea for 2012.

Your photos show a smashing success, Marilyn. I was especially enchanted by the carrot purses. That is such a cute idea. Wherever did you find those small clothes pins?

What a creative and tasty meal you prepared for your family and friends. It all looks exquisite!!!
Wow, what a grand feast!
Your Easter tea menu is superb, Marilyn! I always think peas and carrots should be part of an Easter menu, and you incorporated each of them into your menu so creatively. I know your guests appreciated all the planning and preparation that went into the tea.
You are sooo creative! And yes, this was a lot more work than a traditional meal. But fun!
Hugs...
What a nice spread Marilyn, it all looks so appetizing! Love how you were able to incorporate gluten free for the little one.
Oh wow!!! I am so impressed. That radish is adorable...and hand making pastry...I could never do that! Bravo!
so clever of you to come up with all these glutenfree solutions, i love especially the mousse!!
I live in a real baking world of seeing lots of work here. This is an incredible menu and well researched!
