Festive tea party puts girls' talent on display
Cucumber and basil finger sandwiches, curried egg salad, blueberry scones, miniature fresh fruit tarts, chocolate mint madeleines, sugar cookies, raspberry cream cheese candies, sponge cake hearts and Earl Grey tea. That was the menu whipped up by elementary school-age children and served at an invitation-only celebration Aug. 17. Guests at the festive tea party consisted of mothers and grandmothers of participants who had attended Summer Cottage Experiences camp at the Mandarin home of Jessica McMullen Bright, better known to Jacksonville residents as Chef Jessica Bright. This was Bright's fourth year to offer her Christian-based program, which included crafts and activities about cooking, gardening, sewing, etiquette and art. "I thought it was excellent," said Ashley Cooke, who ushered tea party guests to seats at a colorfully decorated table containing campers' hand-made name cards, painted tea cups and a mountain of tasty treats.
