Having tragically passed all major milestone birthdays, next month I officially will be one year closer to retirement. Yay? At any rate that means another fabulous fete hosted by yours truly. This year I've decided on a birthday brunch, because after all what girl doesn't like an excuse to tipple champagne at 11 am? Menu planning has to be one of my favorite parts of hosting a party. I start dreaming up the perfect spread months in advance, and this party will be no exception! Here is what I am currently thinking:
Drinks!- Deluxe Fizz Bar with pink champagne, raspberry puree, peach puree, Creme de Cassis and fresh OJ
- Jasmine pearl green tea, Black tea with rose petals, Citrus based herbal tea
- Iced Lattes
Pastry
- Scones with clotted cream and rose petal jam
- Fresh Croissants: Chocolate, Apricot, Gruyere
- Sticky Buns
Mains- Croquembouche
- Homemade Valrhona Hot Chocolate

Mmm, that's such a dainty, delicious-sounding menu!
YUM!!! I'm a fan of all of the above. Since it's your birthday you should go with whatever is easiest. I'd say pastries from Clear Flour are a good bet, as is the deluxe fizz bar! I have a great recipe for fresh fruit with a honey ginger topping made with Greek yoghurt if you're interested...
Yum, I'll be there. My birthday is in January too!
