What to make for mothers group morning tea?

[AliBaby]

I am just about to go and buy a packet of tim tams, lamingtons and a bun as I am so uninspired for ideas.

What do you make or put out when you have mother's group morning tea at your house?

I love to make scones with jam and cream. They're so much fun and everyone just loves them.

[AliBaby]

Here's the lemonade scone recipe. It's easier and I like them better. Lemonade scones

[Laranna]

I usually make a batch of muffins (peach melba, blueberry or choc chip) or a chocolate slice or biccies, made a lemon meringue once. I love baking and use my turn at mothers group as an excuse to bake

[Kailani]

I will be getting DP to bring an assortment of scones home from work (he is a baker)!

The other mums have baked a cake, made scones w/ jam and cream, etc etc.

Can't go wrong with fudge and it's heaps easy!

[AliBaby]

Okay I totally cheated and went out and bought chocolate profiter roles with grand mariner custard, lamingtons, tim tams, strawberries (thought I should add a healthy choice ).

I think I will have to practise baking before I bake for mothers group as I am not very good at it.

Kaz- would love a caramel fudge recipe! Yum!!!

great ideas here....

A lot of cake shops sell scones by the 1/2 dozen. I know our local one sells 6 for $3. I just then whip up some cream and pull out the strawberry jam......quick, relatively cheap, and yummo....

Ive just seen a recipie for Strawberry and Ricotta muffins....mmmm i know what im doing tomorrow....
