Sometimes I do things just for the whimsy and this shabby chic styled tea was no exception. I styled it to compliment my Tea and Chats series and although I'm not one-hundred per cent happy with how the pictures turned out I thought what the heck, why not show them anyway? They are quite pretty and I really do love those pink carnations - at least that's what I think they are, so please do enjoy the pretty things!
Those queen cakes were absolutely delicious, sometimes it's the most simplest of treats which taste the best. Can you believe that my two year old actually drinks water out of those miniature teacups? He likes to pour the water in himself from the teapot, so adorable. My shabby chic cake stand is my new pride and joy, although I was left disappointed by the fact that the third plate and tier had no hole in the middle... why do these errors and broken items always get sent to me from shops? Nevertheless, I quite like it two tier and it's the perfect size for displaying all our treats on.
We must have tea and whimsy more often!
I'm so glad to see that I am not the only one who does this kind of thing at home! I love little tea parties and carnations are perfect for them! I wish I had one of your Queen cakes though!
Your queen cakes look delicious! Definitely have me craving something sweet right about now 😉 I had a similar issue with a stand I bought at Home Goods, I'm not quite sure how the manufacturer can make such a silly, and ridiculously frustrating, error? Either way your pictures look great!
Doing things like this is so fun isn't it? Sometimes we just need to make something pretty and enjoy ourselves. I'm not going to lie, those cakes were super duper delicious!
I actually want another right now too! It really is so frustrating and this cake stand wasn't cheap either so I think they should be on top of these things. Thank you so much 🙂
Beautiful pictures. I have to ask, are you a professional photographer, because your pictures are always gorgeous.
Your photos turned out beautifully Fiona! Those Queen cakes look amazing and I love everything about this little styled tea party! XX
This beautiful setting is just exquisite and it makes me want to join in, even if you're only serving water. What a lovely tea party display.
This is adorable! I love all the flowers you chose, and the desserts look delicious!!!

Your photos look amazing and adorable. You choose some beauitful things for this set up! I want to join the tea party!
That is so pretty. I totally want to have a tea party with my girls. They will be gone before I know it. Cute site!
my daughter like s to make cupcakes and has asked for those holders to display her work.
First of all this setup is absolutely gorgeous! And second I really have a craving for cupcakes now haha. I would LOVE to come to a tea party like this!
You really nailed the whimsy aspect. The polka dot tea set would like right at home on the Mad Hatter's table in Alice in Wonderland. Too cool.
Beautiful pictures! Those queen cakes look yummy! My kids used to drink out of the miniature tea sets too! They loved them 🙂
Tea parties are so much fun! My kids would drink out of those little tea cups, too. I still have a tea set from when my now 27 year old daughter was a little girl. Those cupcakes look amazing and the photos are great!
I have always wanted to either do a tea party or be invited to one. I drink tea every day, so that part would be easy. Your tea party is beautiful.
I wish I was eating one of those queen cakes right now. I actually have a tea set gifted to me from our wedding day. I can't wait to break it out one day!
What a fun idea to do at home! The queen cakes look delicious and beautiful! I can see my two year old drinking out of a tea cup- not without making a mess though! 🙂
These are just too cute. Since I have boys who are more interested in truck time than tea time, I guess I will just have to save this fun idea for a girly date with my niece!

My daughter would love this. We have little tea parties st home together all the time. So much fun.
This is just lovely and looks like so much fun. Would love to have one of those little cakes - almost too pretty to eat 🙂
Omg I miss doing little tea parties! I'm totally going to have so much fun with my little nephews when I fly home - TOMORROW!!!!!
Your presentation is beautiful! I wanted to have a tea party with just this look for my daughter!
Wow I don't know what your talking about your pictures are beautiful! If I could only reach through my computer and grab a cup of tea and a cupcake I think I would be way to excited lol. These are beautiful pictures and like I said earlier the cupcakes look delicious!
This looks so amazing. Feel free to invite any of us to your next one. 🙂
My daughter saw this and asked me "Can we do a tea party again one of these days?" I guess, I will have to come up with an idea so thanks for the inspiration.
Yummy. My littlest girl has a tea set and I always hear chatter in her bedroom when she convinces her little brother to play dress up and have a tea party. It is the best thing to hear. I love it.
Your setup is so pretty. Sometimes I setup like this and invite a friend or two over to join me for a catch up session. Those cupcakes look divine.
how cute and adorable...I love all the colors...yum!

I was thinking to myself, "Where's the third tier...." and then you explained it. I've got the same kind of luck but, regardless, that stand is gorgeous! I absolutely love it!
We've got a set of mini espresso cups and my toddlers do the same thing. We have a "tea" party almost daily now 😛
The setup looks absolutely adorable that I would hate to mess it up by eating anything. It reminds me of a tea party based in a fairy tale or like Alice in Wonderland.
What a lovely tea party display. It is so inviting and I would love to jump and have tea and cupcakes with you
This is a great tea party. I love the cup cakes. They look delicious.
What a beautiful display. The cakes look so delicious
What a lovely tea party. I just love the flowers they say SPRING to me!
I'm loving your display! My girls are obsessed with tea parties at the moment, we have one at least 3 x's a day! I know they would love to attend your tea party. Thank you for sharing.
Very nice. Going to low tea with my daughters is one of our favorite things to do. Your post reminds me that we should do it more often.
Oh my goodness, so little and so cute. I would love to have that little tea pot in the house.
My daughter would love this, we never had a tea time before. It looks so beautiful how everything is set up! The cake is beautiful!
You give me so many great ideas to do when I do end up having kids. This is by far one of my favorites though, so chic and cute. The pictures are amazing btw i don't know why you would think any less! great post!!
I love doing things just for fun!! That plate stand is adorable!! So is your tea set and cupcakes!!
