When it comes to
hosting, details are what make the experience enjoyable. Of course, when
there’s afternoon teatime, it’s no exception.
In
collaboration with the Biscuiteers, I wanted to put the spotlight on the
exemplary British brand that merges two things that Fashion Tales
adores—travelling and fashion, obviously! For the afternoon tea, I chose to use the “Vintage Traveller”
biscuit tin, which if you’re a fan of the novel, Around the World in Eighty Days, you will appreciate the
inspiration, which was Phileas Fogg. The tin is filled with intricately
designed biscuits in the form of a compass, passport, aeroplanes,hot air balloons,and a vintage suitcase.
The
“Fashionista” biscuit tin was also a personal favourite, and I used them to dazzle our
tablescape setting. This tin is perfect for the fashion enthusiast and would
clearly be an edible “statement” accessory. There’s clutch bags, earrings, and
embellished dresses.
But, the biscuits
are not only unique, they are simply sweet handcrafted treats that are artful
and delicious. Each one is remarkably produced in just about every type of theme
and shape imaginable: from festival season to Royal Ascot-inspired biscuits. The
Biscuiteers is certainly not your everyday type of biscuit bakery. And, being a
biscuit enthusiast myself, I do appreciate the range of clever themes and playful
styles that will suit any occasion.
If you want something
other than biscuits, they also make cakes, chocolates, and macaroons, all of
which can be personalised.
Flourishing Extras to Love:
Husband and
wife team, Harriet Hastings and Stevie Congdon, established the Biscuiteers in
2007. Their brilliant concept of creating stylish biscuits that are all
handmade and delivered with topnotch service is what set the brand apart from the
lot of many. And, the proof is certainly in the
(sugary) pudding, so-to-speak!
“We wanted the biscuits to be beautiful and witty. We called them
‘collections’ because we knew we wanted to launch them seasonally like fashion
collections and to keep refreshing and developing the range,” Hastings said.
The now, well-known
brand has partnered and worked closely with award-winning companies and fashion
brands, including Burberry, Swatch, Net-a-Porter, and Selfridges, amongst
others.
Almost,
exactly two years ago, the Biscuiteers expanded the company and opened their
very first Biscuit Boutique & Icing Café in Notting Hill. They even offer
icing classes for those willing to go onward with the task of learning how to
frost a biscuit.
Come join the visual
tea party in high-fashion. I hope you’ve come with an appetite! Just sit back
and indulge in this tablescape voyage, all provided with an imperial front-row
seat. But, don’t fret, we’ll skip the tea sandwiches, and keep them stowed, so
that you can have tasty seconds for the ultimate
biscuit-dunking experience.

Yes I have bought and tasted Biscuiteers and they are just as delicious as they look. I was fortunate to visit the café in Nottinghill, London. My biscuit was a bikini design! I also bought some adorable Easter biscuits to take home. If I had had more time I would have liked to have stayed to ice my own biscuit. Maybe next time.Your afternoon tablescape is fabulous and so creative. Great post!
This sounds and looks perfect!! How wonderful these are, love them :)) Happy Friday, I hope you have a gorgeous weekend xx
Love it!!
