Product Information

With The King's coronation date officially this weekend (taking place on Saturday 6 May 2023), many of us are making plans on how we're going to celebrate the special occasion this coronation bank holiday. Whether you're planning to have quiet drinks in or hosting a party, there are the plenty coronation decorations to get you in the mood across the bank holiday weekend. For those looking to celebrate the momentous occasion in style, here are our tips for creating an afternoon tea fit for royalty. What is afternoon tea? When hosting an event for the Coronation, decor is key. Decorating your space adds a special touch to your afternoon tea party and puts everyone in a celebratory mood. Whether you’re planning a large street party or just a lowkey shindig with friends, there are a few things that you need to make the event extra special. For example, what to wear to a street party is something you should be looking at. Baking in individual portions is essential for the afternoon tea aesthetic, so make batches of more miniature desserts that can be nicely arranged on your tiered cake stand. Try the classic Victoria Sponge to keep the tradition, but make smaller versions, one for each guest.

Every party needs a bit of pizzazz, so why not pull out all the stops and create a mouth watering treat to go in the centre of your table? Try our recipe for a delicious Pimms celebration cake and elicit some ‘oohs’ and ‘ahhs’ from your guests. Afternoon tea can be pretty much anything you want it to be! Traditionally it’s a mixture of finger sandwiches, cakes, scones and pastries, but in recent years people have recreated the classic afternoon tea and made some quirky interpretations!
