Tea Party
For a local Chatsworth, Ca birthday tea party, we made individual caprese tea sandwiches, salmon and chive tea sandwiches, a 4 cheese quiche, and three other salads including a melon, mint, and prosciutto salad. We also baked a dessert bar full of sugar cookies, apricot almond bars, and blueberry biscotti. The day was absolutely fabulous!
