And don’t forget a completely showstopping celebration cake, super-fun hot cross scones, a festive Simnel loaf cake and so much more. Dive into our tea party recipes – Easter just got even more delicious!

Gather around

A proper tea party surely begins with the most gorgeous finger sandwiches. Arrange egg & cress, houmous & cucumber, and chicken, watercress & harissa mayo sandwiches on Jamie’s All-Rounder Board; it’s super-inviting and allows you to display the fruits of your labours in style. Build your own plate of savoury picky bits – think veggie sausage rolls, smoked trout pâté, dips and piccalilli that you’ve served up in Jamie’s Pinch-Me Pots, plus crisp crudités and your favourite cheeses, as well as grapes and other fruit.

Sharing is caring

It’s always nice to have one dish you can pass around at a tea party. Embellish it with these gorgeous devilled eggs for a proper flavourful mouthful! Topped with Parma ham, pickles and jarred red peppers, they make a great bite-sized sharer. Present these proudly on the Pass-Me Platter, and dig in!

Seamless entertaining

Jamie’s Proper Pie Dish is not just for pies! It’s the perfect oven-to-table server. Why not try baking an elegant spring quiche this Easter, with asparagus, peas and baby spinach – it’s a truly special tea party recipe.

And what better to serve it with than a potato salad? Show off in-season Jersey Royals alongside blushing pink salmon in Jamie’s Super Server. Look at those colours!

A showstopping finale

Make a real statement on your table by proudly showing off your homemade bakes on a cake stand. This celebration cake is a proper stunner, and delicious too, but you can switch up the flavours for whatever works for you! Jamie’s Showstopper Stand is perfect for this, plus it’s good for more than just cakes – from cheese boards to fresh fruit platters, it’ll always look great.

A feast for the eyes

A generous platter filled with tasty things is a gorgeous finale at an Easter tea party for your loved ones. Hot cross buns are hard to beat, but is a tea party really a tea party without scones? So these super-fun and easy hot cross scones are just what you need. Or try this Simnel cake baked in a loaf tin, it’s relaxed but special too (and will keep those traditionalists happy!).
