Cocktails in Tea Cups

Last week was a very busy week! On thursday I had my birthday party consisting of an all pink themed 'tea' party... of course, this is me, no tea was drunk...instead we had Strawberry Cosmopolitans and Finish in the pink cocktails.

To eat I slaved away all day creating a tea like array of finger foods and nibbles including:

• King prawns and fried Halloumi skewers 
• Caramelised balsamic onion vol au vent's
• Avocado and prawn sushi 
• Smoked Salmon finger sandwiches
• Bacon wrapped Halloumi

Plus loads more including a selection of cakes and sweets.

On Saturday we hosted a Ladies of Luxury evening for my clothing company Henry Hunt, it was a huge success and featured a lot more food and a lot more drink!! Including prosecco with strawberries in on arrival, an array of cocktails including my favourite Bramble Cosmo, Finish in the Pink again and several Champagne cocktails. We spent all day cooking and baking cupcakes and various other delights with excessive use of gold edible glitter, chocolate drizzle and little H chocolate shapes (all painstakingly made one by one in a mould)

The turn out was great and everyone seemed to love the new collections we had on show. I wore a gold sequin number from the summer collection (below) my models Alex and Sarah also wore gowns from the new collections which both looked stunning on them.

The new Spring Summer collection will be up on our brand new website very soon, so stay posted!

Cocktail Party

Saturday night just gone, my sister and fiancé held a small cocktail party for a few friends.

I played cocktail tender for the first few sophisticated drinks...the reins were then taken over by the boys who started to mix some lethal concoctions of their own, involving every liquor in sight.

I started with a bramble cosmopolitan, before moving on to a strawberry version. (see recipe here)

Both were delicious and were complimented accordingly. I have since tried a blueberry version, again delightful, proving that a cosmopolitan can lend to any flavour of your preference --Maybe tonight I will try a banana one?

My Louboutins had their first outing and avoided being ruined...turquoise suede is a slightly risky choice when 'walking' back through the garden in the dark, thankfully they survived.

I am now making arrangements for my birthday party this week and a Ladies of Luxury evening on Saturday. My tea set will be in it's prime and I am sure a lot of cocktail testing and approving will be needed before then, along with canapé tasting and cupcake decorating.
