For such a special celebration, we’re sure that many of you will be opting for a very British afternoon tea! Afternoon tea involves making delicious finger sandwiches so, since there’s nothing like a loaf of fresh, tasty bread, why not have a go at baking your own? Click here for a delicious gluten-free bread recipe.

Now that your bread is sorted, put together your favourite vegan and gluten-free fillings and start creating your own savoury afternoon tea masterpieces! A couple of our favourite healthy vegan fillings are classic cucumber or caramelised red onion with vegan “cream cheese” - which you can get from most supermarkets - or roasted Mediterranean vegetables with red pepper hummus. Let your creative juices flow and see what you can come up with. Or, there’s always the option of a quick look on Google to help you along in your search!

Garden Party/Afternoon Tea Decorations

Decorate the eco-friendly way by making your own bunting! A brilliant way to brighten up your environment and make it feel more like a party. Depending on how much time you have we’ve got two ideas that might help you use up some items lying around the house.

You can either have a rummage through the house to find old skirts, bed lining, or curtains to cut up and sew together using some ribbon or binding tape, or, cut up some plain craft delivery boxes and paint some union jacks on them to fit the theme of the Queen’s Jubilee. Join them together with coloured twine and you’re done!

Sustainable Centrepiece

Made a habit of saving your glass jars? Get them out this summer and place them on the centre of the table with some dried flowers inside to beautify your table (we love the range at Atlas Flowers). If you’d prefer fresh flowers, why not treat yourself to some flowering house plants and decorate the plant pots. That way you can keep on enjoying them and they make great environmentally friendly centrepieces!

We hope these tips have given you some ideas on what you can do this year to help you celebrate the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee!

No matter how you decide to celebrate this unique occasion, do it the Positive Bakes way – sustainable, kind to the environment and incredibly tasty!
