A Mad Tea Party



 Oh my, did I ever have fun making cookies for



I went into the garden and gathered some of my prettiest flowers,




gathered tea cookies,




and invited a rather persnickety guest.




She loved the chocolate sugar cookies,





and didn't even mind that I served hot chocolate instead of tea.






Flowers, mushrooms, and hearts make a plate of cookies quite pretty!





My new favorite cookie decorating technique is painting them with food coloring.





Magical colors 





with a whimsical touch





and gifts from the garden





make for an ENCHANTING




Please stop by A Fanciful Twist to see Vannessa's always delightful tea party and visit the other wonderful participants!



Come by The Enchanted Acorn Studio blog for more party fun and a giveaway.

  31. As always, You are just AMAZING. Those cookies are spectacular and so pretty, I would just display them until FOREVER>>>> I love the mushrooms and the little hearts on the sides of the cups, and the flower cookies. Oh and I love the ones that have Alice and Wonderland written upon them, and did I miss any. I must have eaten a few.
