3. Step-by-step Instructions for Magic in the Kitchen
Preparation of Ingredients
Start by gathering all your ingredients. Thinly slice cucumbers and any other fillings you’d like to include. Prepare the cream cheese mixture by blending in chopped dill or chives for added flavor.
Cutting the Bread
Use a sharp bread knife to cut the crusts off the bread slices. Then, cut the slices into your desired shapes—traditional rectangles, triangles, or delicate rounds for an elegant presentation.
Spreading the Cream Cheese
Spread a thin layer of the seasoned cream cheese evenly on each slice of bread using a butter knife. For a more precise application, a piping bag with a fine tip can create beautiful layers.
Assembling the Sandwiches
Layer the cucumber slices and smoked salmon or turkey over the cream cheese spread. Add a sprinkle of fresh dill or chives for flavor. Place another piece of bread on top and gently press down, then cut into beautiful, fairy-tale-inspired shapes.
Decorating and Plating
Arrange the assembled Cinderella tea sandwiches on a serving platter. Decorate with edible flowers or tiny sprigs of herbs to add a magical touch. Use a silver tiered tray or elegant platters for a stunning presentation.
4. Storage Tips for the Fairytale Treats
Keep the Enchanted Tea Sandwiches refrigerated in an airtight container for up to 4 hours. To prevent sogginess, add the cucumber slices just before serving. For longer storage, assemble the sandwiches just before your event to maintain freshness and appearance.
5. Serving Suggestions
Serve these magical tea snacks on a beautiful cake stand or tiered platter, accompanied by floral teacups and saucers. Pair with sides like scones, petits fours, or fairy-tale themed desserts for an enchanted afternoon tea experience. For a complete fairy-tale look, complement the presentation with our Cinderella sparkle cupcakes.
6. Frequently Asked Questions

Yes! Use gluten-free bread or sliced cucumber rounds as a base. Ensure all fillings are gluten-free as well.

It’s best to assemble the sandwiches on the day of your event for optimal freshness. However, you can prepare the ingredients and store them separately in the refrigerator overnight.
What are some vegetarian options?
Omit the smoked salmon and include more vegetables like avocados, roasted peppers, or cream cheese with herbs for a tasty vegetarian variation.
How long does it take to prepare?
The total prep time is approximately 30 minutes, including slicing, spreading, assembling, and decorating the sandwiches.
