tea party crumpets

[BRENDA]

I told my daughter she could have a tea party with friends. She's almost 7.
Does anyone know how to make crumpets? Does anyone have any frugal ideas for
food, accessories, or favors? And unfortunately the month has been so busy
that I forgot we were doing this little get together TOMORROW!!!! So things we
would have as basic foods sure would help me from running to the store. There
will be about 8 girls.
I think I'm going to make a pinata that looks like a tea cup if dries fast
enough. Between birthdays, father's day, and the last days of school it
totally slipped my mind.
So far I have an easy up tent that i'll pin fabric to, to cover the legs. I
have a picnic table i'll cover with cloth. and i'll put wild flowers in some
small tea cups. After that I'm lost. It's not for a birthday, this is just a
bonus get together for the last day of school.

I love going to tea in upscale restaurants. My faves serve on those tiered
trays most people have. Cucumber sandwiches (and similar) on the bottom,
crumpets on the middle, and dessert pastries on the top all served with
jelly, clotted cream, and your choice of 2 teas. Mango and black currant
are our faves. We all love this.
