| For my 18th birthday in two weeks I'm having a "Mad Hatter's Tea Party".
It's not a huge meal or big party, just a gathering of friends before we go out for the night..
So anyway, i want all the food, drink and decorations to be Alice themed and was wondering if any of you girlies had ideas?
so far I'm making loads and loads of wee fairy cakes with "Eat Me" written on them, we're drinking champagne from tea cups and mushroom shaped sweeties..

| Ooh that's what I want to do for my 16th/18th! I was talking about it with my friends yesterday.
Hmm.. Strawberry tarts (for the queen of hearts)? I can't think of anything else, someone else'll have somethin though.

| oooh get a caterpiller cake like the dude she meets 
I googled (because it always helps, no matter how ridiculous)
| Quote: | | The food never becomes a real meal because it is broken into several snacks. (Roncada 6) Food categories are separated into liquid and solid (which share the same result: grow shrink), raw and cooked, and sweet and salty. A fine example of this is during Alice’s first size change in the hall. When Alice drinks the liquid marked appropriately “drink me” she states, “ It had, in fact, a sort of mixed flavor of cherry-tart, custard, pine-apple, roast turkey, toffee, and hot buttered toast.” This part entwines a number of distinct patterns contradicting each other. First off, the liquid assumes the flavor of solid food. Sweet (cherry-tart, custard, pineapple, toffee) and salty (roast turkey and hot buttered toast) stay together. Inside the “sweet” category there are other contradictory patterns: toffee is solid and custard is non solid; cherry-tart, custard, roast turkey, and toffee are all cooked (or mixed) while pineapple is raw and natural. And finally, the tastes have been organized according to different culinary techniques: custard, toffee, and cherry tart are all made with low heat and turkey and toast are made with high heat. Roasted Turkey, hot buttered toast, and custard are all served hot while toffee and cherry-tart are served cold. |
From an essay bit about the use of food. I dont know if it will help tho
If you could get a couple of those mini bottles of champagne, re-label with with drink me.
Just stuff like cute cakes maybe. I'm feeling unimaginative.
Oh! you could buy some of those tubes of writing icing and decorate some plain rectangle bisuits with like hearts and clubs and playing card suits like tha card soldiers! lol maybe a bit time consuming but still
Heart shaped sandwiches. or other suit shapes if you can get them. Or cookies shaped like the suits.
