Super Heroes At Mad Hatter's Tea Party August 30, 2014

Hello my darlings, I’m sorry it’s been over a year that I have blog anything. For there are many reasons I can say why I've stopped, at this time I rather focus on something happier. Hence I’m giving you the 1th installment of upcoming DIY party planning. I choice to give myself a birthday party, being that my plans didn't come through. So as I was inviting my friends and family a few people asked me what was my theme going to be? Everyone who knows me KNOWS that I love to do themes! So as I was completing what “theme” I would do, I chose to do something quite unique, I put two of my favorites “stories” into one party.

It was called “Super Heroes At Mad Hatter’s Tea Party” As you watch the video you’ll see how I set up my backyard and what extra and personal touches I did. As for the writing I’ll be sharing some of the recipes for the sandwiches I made. As well as information of where I got most of my stuff I've used. After doing the math the total of the party was $230 (rounding off to higher number) 

FOOD:

Dates wrap in Bacon made over 80. Wrap bacon around the dates put in oven for about 20-25 minutes. Frist 10 minutes flip dates to other side and let it bake another 10-15 minutes

At the supermarket they were making fresh made Kettle popcorn. So I bought the Extra-large bag for only $5 dollars. Normally at fairs and carnivals they charge double the amount!

3 different types of cookies: Rainbows (Italian Style), Butter cookies jelly filling chocolate dip with sprinkles, and Shortbread.

I order my cake from my favorite Bakery; Pasticceria “La Torre” in Howard Beach. The baker John asked if he could use a different photo than the one I gave him. I told him that I have complete faith in him and to surprise me. Well, he truly shocked me, when he found how I'm a HUGE fan of Wonder Woman and he used the perfect photo Lynda Cater when she was Wonder Woman! Both customers and staff took photos of this most beautiful cake! The fillings were French Cream with Strawberries, yellow cake and whipped cream frosting. I highly recommend going to this bakery everything they make is AMAZING! (Also got some of the cookies there) 

Sandwiches:

Queso Blanco + Quince Paste

Ingredients:
-  Queso Blanco 10 oz. semi-soft (Cuban or Mexican style is fine)
-  Guava Paste 24.7oz. (I used Goya)

- sliced white bread (Although personally I like it better on Cuban bread)

Instructions:
1. Cut thinly the quince paste put 2-3 slices on each side of bread.  2-3 Slices of cheese don’t make the too thin or too thick.
2. Trim the crusts. Cut into rectangles.

Roast Beef with Horseradish and Ham + Whole Grain Mustard

Ingredients:
- sliced roast beef with horseradish (I also made a few with Mustard and added pickles)

Ham with Whole Grain Mustard (used whatever you like)
- 7 grans bread for the Roast beef sandwiches Rye bread for the Ham. I trim the crusts and cut into triangles and squares

Baby Spinach with black olives and bacon cream cheese spread

Ingredients:

I used Smoke wood flavor bacon (2 things you should know; 1-used any flavor bacon you like. 2-use the whole package! Because of bacon thieves! Lol)  Cook bacon until extra crispy.

Slice black large black olives (can) thin

2 cream cheese 8oz (Room temperature) Mix together and keep overnight in refrigerator. 

I’m not going to lied I bought pre-wash bagged baby spinach (rewash and pat dried) 

I used thick white bread and Oatmeal Bread.  

I butter both each slice of bread, this help with the cream cheese spread.  (Also if you have leftover spread and spinach it’s great on bagels)
