I'm planning Sienna's Christening and I'm doing a vintage tea party theme after the ceremony. I would like to give some sort of edible favor but I can't seem to find something I love.
Any ideas?! I've been googling, and checking on pinterest.
I don't want to give TEA because not everyone likes tea... so what cookies? Maybe there's something a little more original out there.

I immediately thought tea cakes. Tiny adorable bunt cakes. Maybe in boxes, maybe on doilies?

@travelingbrit: Scones would be perfect with a tea theme!

First thing that popped into my head was macaroons or scones.

You could also do a little tea favor and give a scone with little containers of jam and clotted cream.

I just did sugar cookies as a favor for her first birthday. I bought a cookie cutter in the shape of a number one (you could maybe do a cross) and then I frosted and put in a little baggie.

m@jessiejo17: Yum! macaroons! The french macaroons are so pretty but they're hard to make.
We have a great macaroon shop around here though.

@regberadaisy: @artbee: Yes I've seen the tea shaped bag chocolate dipped cookies before... but kinda looked passed them.. but I think I might just go that route! Easy to make! and yummy.
Thank you everyone for the ideas.

@Thehistoryofus: @regberadaisy: I did sugar cookies too! but I stamped mine after I baked them with flowers (it was garden themed).

I think Martha Stewart had a recipe for Early Grey flavored cookies, that looks really really good to me. A little more original than just regular cookies cut out in the shape of a teapot.
@Mrs. Sunglasses: I have to say, I cannot believe how much effort and how many details you put into your kids' parties. I'm very impressed!

@Foodnerd81: @Mrs. Sunglasses: oooh earl gray cookies in the tea bag might be just the thing!

Here is the link to Martha Stewart:

She of course puts them in an adorable little box with some bags of tea. They look so yummy.

@zippylef: there is a coffee shop near my sisters place that makes earl grey cupcakes that I die for. Uh-may-zing!!

@prettylizy: I'm addicted to Earl Grey since I moved to England. I love having proper afternoon tea.

Maybe something like this. We did it with a 1. The Royal Icing was actually really easy to do!

@Foodnerd81: oooooooooooooooooo earl tea cookies. SOLD SOLD SOLD. Thank you so much.
As for the details/party planning... it's like the curse of the designer. People expect something pretty. Once you go all out... you are doomed for life! haha. Honestly I love this kinda stuff. though my husband would say it's time consuming and I should clean the house instead. he just doesn't get it! lol

@prettylizy: We will be using doilies as decoration... so I might just use it to help package the cookies I will be making
I'm actually going to have mini bundt cakes for desserts ... so its a no go for the favors.
@chopsuey119: @Rubies: @jessiejo17: @travelingbrit: I LOVE macarons but wouldn't dare attempt to make them. I'm actually going to have about a dozen on the dessert table. Tea is mostly about dessert and sipping good tea!

@Thehistoryofus: those are so pretty! good job! I have YET to ice cookies. Honestly its unknown territory for me.

I know you said edible favors, but what about a candle poured into vintage tea cups?

@looch: I'm too attached to my vintage tea cups to give them away. haha. I will attempt to make some for my home decor though.

What about hot cocoa mix in some kind of pretty wrapping? It's my favorite alternative to tea, and I can't be the only one
