No Mad Hatter party would be complete without an eclectic tea time spread! Think mismatched teacups, colorful tablecloths, and an array of quirky treats that would make the Mad Hatter himself proud. Set the mood with whimsical place settings and serve up an assortment of teas, finger sandwiches, and treats like we did below:
- Tea Sandwiches
- Bread and Butter
- Un-Birthday Cakes (i.e. Birthday Cake Cupcakes)
- Scones with Devonshire Cream and Jam
- Dormouse Cheese and Crackers
- Fruit Bowl
- Black tea (English Breakfast, Yorkshire Tea, Earl Grey, etc.)
Or create an elaborate tea time, including this “Mad Hatter’s Hat” cake (below) like Olivia made.
Add a Nonsense Poem to Your Mad Hatter Tea Time
Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Bat,
by Lewis Carroll
Twinkle, twinkle, little bat!
How I wonder what you’re at!
Up above the world you fly,
Like a teatray in the sky.

Olivia and I absolutely adored dressing up as mad hatters! But it’s time to say goodbye. Remember…
There is a place. Like no place on Earth. A land full of wonder, mystery, and danger! Some say to survive it: You need to be as mad as a hatter.
