One of the things Miss Party loves most in Hawaii are the delicious tropical fruits! At our hotel we enjoyed daily Maui-style fruit platters; ripe, fresh tropical fruit with a variety of moist and delicious slices of fruit bread.

For this Mad Tea Party, Miss Party thinks a High Tea menu would sit quite well with the teen guests less-refined palate. It appears that savory sandwiches, stews, cottage or shepherd’s pie, summer salads, casseroles, and of course, sweets are all a part of a classic High Tea menu. These dishes would be perfect for […]
