Tea party fundraising ideas
Show your guests extra wow factor by putting a modern spin on the usual suspects. Add some tasty sandwiches to your tea, but move on from the classics.

We made:
Smoked salmon and horseradish cream
Chicken and mango chutney with mayo
Ham with caramelised onion and rocket
Cream cheese, chive and cress.

Use a selection of delicious breads, such as rye for the smoked salmon and seeded brown bread for the ham.

You could also make some decadent mini cupcakes, perfect for nibbling. These gorgeous girly cupcakes look and taste absolutely divine.

These teatime recipes for sexy little bakes and irresistible cakes will you inspire you to get cooking.

Make your party pay
- It's not unreasonable to expect friends to pay £15 for a delicious tea with cakes and sandwiches and, after all, it's for a good cause.
- If you're serving bubbly, factor in that cost and charge more.
- Get a couple of friends to bake or make sandwiches to spread the cost.
- Ask local shops or businesses to offer raffle prizes to bring in extra cash.
- Make extra bakes for people to buy and take home.
