"Drink Me" potion

When I began planning my tea party table and was thinking of all the things I associated with Alice in Wonderland, the 'drink me' potion was right up there on the list! Although Alice did not find the magical shrinking potion at the tea party she did remark that it had a wonderful flavour which was a mixture of cherry tart, custard, pineapple, roast turkey, toffee and hot buttered toast! How yummy!  

 

 

 

 

Alice first found the potion after falling down the rabbit hole when she chased after the White Rabbit and found herself in a room with no way out apart from through a tiny little door.  When Alice drank the strange potion she shrunk to ten inches high and was able to go into the beautiful garden which was on the other side of the door.

 

The potion bottle is made of fine artisan made glass with a blue liquid inside and a tiny "drink me" label tied around the neck.

 

 

 

 

Toadstool biscuits

When I was thinking of a quirky theme for some novelty biscuits I immediately thought of these red and white spotted toadstools!  You always see them in forests in children's story book and fairy tale illustrations and who could forget the smoking caterpillar sat on the toadstool in Wonderland? Every time I look at these cute little 'fondant' covered biscuits I just smile! They're so adorable!

 



 

 

 

 

 

Happy 150th Birthday Alice!

This year marks 150 years since Lewis Carroll's book 'Alice's Adventures in Wonderland' was first published.  I have wanted to create a Mad Hatter's Tea Party scene for a while and thought of no better excuse than to make one in the year which marks the anniversary! Most of us will be familiar with the Disney version and also Tim Burton's reimagining of the story, but I wanted to create something a little bit different in my own style so here is my very own Alice in Wonderland inspired Mad Hatter's Tea Party table!
