How come no one has tea parties anymore? Ok, well I do actually know the answer to that one: tea parties are lame. But at the very core of tea parties is a delightful experience, one which consists of consuming a steaming cup of tea and a smattering of tasty pastries. The issue here is to figure out how to get to enjoy the delectable treats without the idiocy that is associated with a tea party. Specifically, how to orchestrate a setting where cucumber sandwiches aren’t served with empty cups of tea to stuffed animals.
A more adult approach to the traditional tea party, the Teacakes Cupcake Mold (Perpetual Kid, $17.99) has more than a hint of carefree innocence to it. Let’s face it, it’s not like the queen is going to be enjoying her crumpets out of a tea cup, but you can be she wants to. Shaped like tea cups, these cupcake molds are designed to allow you to bake and serve your scrumptious goodies in one container. They’re also reusable, so it looks like you’re doing the environment a favor by not using those convenient, but so not green, paper cupcake liners. This adorable cupcake set even comes complete with matching saucers!
I really don’t care how silly this may seem, I would love to eat a cupcake out of a tea cup. Are you seriously going to tell me that you would refuse a heavenly bit of cake just because its presentation was somewhat juvenile? Hell, I’d even put on a dress and some white gloves if you told me I could have more than one!
