I’m late, I’m late, for a very important date . . . high tea at the table bay hotel
Last week I had the divine opportunity to invite, a few fellow talented bloggers, to High Tea at The Table Bay Hotel as part of my Birthday Month of Celebrations.
I thought, this is my opportunity to spoil the girls, and so I organized goodie bags. (Oh how I love to organize)
Thanks to Old Khaki, Poetry, DKNY, Eye Slices, Tip Top Nails, Soy Lites and Anesi for being part of these pretty pamper packs.
The Table Bay is currently running a themed High Tea based on the Mad Hatters Tea Party. I really did feel like Alice amongst all the splendor. We were first treated to delicious savories like salmon and cream cheese samies and later delicious scones with lemon curd. Mmmm.
Then we got to savour these delicious sweets while doing a champagne tasting.(I had the lemon tart, out of this world!) Graham Beck, Krone and Taittinger where on the menu. All seriously delicious. We had a little lesson while we did the tasting that I found most fascinating. (Like the smaller the bubbles the better, that saved me the embarrassment of sending back a “flat” bottle)
We also got to learn the fine art of Sabrage, and then some of the ladies got to try it too. All cameras where whipped out as lots of cheering began.
After a bit of an education, we got to natter and catch up while listening to the harp being played in the background. All round it was relaxed and decadent, true Table Bay Style.
Thanks to The Table Bay for hosting us! The High Tea is definitely a must, with the most incredible view of Table Mountain as you sip you tea, or champagne! x
