An Alice in Wonderland-themed afternoon tea party is a whimsical and delightful idea! Here are some more recipe ideas inspired by the characters and elements of the classic tale.

Cheshire Cat Inspired Recipes:

Firstly, Cheshire Cat Finger Sandwiches. Use a cat-shaped cookie cutter to cut out the bread.

White bread, cream cheese, thinly sliced cucumber, smoked salmon or ham.

Also, Perfect Egg Mayonnaise And Watercress Sandwiches. What better way to start the proceedings than with a classic egg mayonnaise sandwich given added piquancy by fresh peppery watercress?

Party Food Special. Irish Coffee Cupcakes, Anyone? We love to make cupcakes. Also they are so fun to make. How delicious!?

Only thing is, could you eat one or two? Also, if whisky isn’t one of your tipples, brandy or dark rum go well with chocolate, or for more coffee flavour, try Tia Maria. Irish Coffee Cupcakes.

Queen of Hearts Strawberry Tarts:

Thirdly, Queen of Hearts’ Tarts. The Queen of Hearts famously orders tarts to be made, but they are stolen by the Knave of Hearts, leading to a trial. Si how about some Queen Of Hearts Jam Tarts?

Can you also remember the nursery rhyme? “The Queen of Hearts”, where the Queen Of Hearts is said to have ordered the making of some tarts.

The Queen of Hearts, She made some tarts, All on a summer’s day; The Knave of hearts, He stole those tarts, And took them clean.

Jam Tarts. Alice encounters jam tarts during her adventures in Wonderland. Queen Of Hearts Jam Tarts. So good.

Fourthly, White Rabbit’s Pocket-Watch Macarons.

BerryWorld Strawberry and Almond. Strawberry and almond ones are from BerryWorld – wonderful for afternoon tea. Do you want to make some tasty macarons then?

For Mother’s Day or Valentine’s Day, these delectable mini cakes are the ideal special treat.

The ingredients for a macaron, also known as a French macaron, are egg white, icing sugar, granulated sugar, almond flour, and food colouring.

So how do you feel about this recipe? Do you want to create some as well? Because I could easily get one right now, haha!! BerryWorld Strawberry and Almond.

Pipe or spread white royal icing onto the flat side of half of the macaron shells to resemble a pocket watch face. Sandwich with another macaron shell.

Use edible gold dust or gold leaf to create the hands of the watch. How fun?

Mushrooms:

Fifth, Mushrooms. Alice encounters various types of mushrooms in Wonderland, including some that can make her taller and others that can make her smaller.

These Poison Meringue Mushrooms would be perfect! Poison Meringue Mushrooms.

Try popping a sweet on top to resemble a caterpillar’s mushroom. The hookah-smoking Caterpillar sits atop a mushroom while conversing with Alice.
