The Perfect Afternoon Tea

Is there anything more delightful than an afternoon tea? Elegant, indulgent, and just a little bit luxurious — it's the perfect way to celebrate life’s sweet moments. And when you add our floral bouqcakes to the mix, you elevate the experience even further.

Here’s how to create a beautiful afternoon tea setup with edible blooms as the showpiece.

 Step 1: Set the Scene

Start with a clean table, a lovely tablecloth or runner, and your favourite crockery. Mismatched vintage china or sleek whiteware both work beautifully depending on the vibe you're going for. Add fresh flowers or candles for a little extra charm.

Bouqcake Tip: Use one of our signature cupcake bouquets as your centrepiece. It doubles as décor and dessert!

 Step 2: Choose Your Teas (and Bubbles)

A classic black tea, such as Earl Grey or English Breakfast, is always a safe bet. But feel free to mix it up with fruity blends, herbal teas, or even iced options in summer.
Want to make it extra special? Add prosecco or rosé for a bubbly afternoon upgrade.

🧁 Step 3: Add Your Sweet & Savoury Treats

Traditionally, afternoon tea includes finger sandwiches, scones with clotted cream and jam, and sweet bakes. Your bouqcakes can take the spotlight here — with flavours like:

• Lemon curd – zesty and refreshing

• Berry compote – rich and fruity

• Vanilla bean – soft and classic

Place them on a cake stand or tiered tray to add height and drama to your display.

💐 Step 4: Enjoy the Moment

Afternoon tea is all about slowing down and enjoying good company (and great cake). Whether you’re catching up with friends, celebrating a baby shower, or just treating yourself — take a moment to savour every bite.
