Alice in Wonderland has had mixed reviews as far as the actual film goes, but it’s certainly inspired a lot of fashion and now as I’ve just discovered, it’s also inspired an afternoon tea.
This is a picture of the Wonderland Afternoon Tea you can have at the Langham in the Winery all throughout March (yes, I am late to this very important date) for $36 per person, or $18 for kids. It looks beautiful, and apparently it contains:
- * Moist chocolate sludge cake
- * Fresh fruit tartlets with pistachio
- * Pink frosted cupcakes
- * Opera cake
- * Chocolate dipped strawberries
- * Petite macaroons
- * Hand made Grand Marnier and honey truffles
- * Mozzarella, cherry tomato and basil bites
- * Smoked salmon and lemon cream cheese wrapped pancakes
- * Petite sandwiches of Champagne ham with English mustard, roast beef with horse radish cream, cucumber and cream cheese, egg and watercress, grissini wrapped in Parma ham
- * Savoury herb scones with crab meat
- * Espresso coffee and exotic teas
I’d drink champagne and make it last the whole afternoon. Where else is good for High Tea in Auckland? Anywhere cheaper than $36?
