People love Afternoon Tea. The Ideal Pastry allows you to host this cherished experience at home. We understand those in Scottsdale and Paradise Valley with beautiful homes often prefer to host a private elegant event at home rather than at a restaurant or resort and compete for service.
Afternoon Tea is an intimate meal for a few, not a buffet. It inspires conversation, connection and sharing a delightful experience around a dining table.
We created The Ideal Pastry to bring a truly luxurious, fine dining, private chef–led Afternoon Tea experience to people at home. Every menu and every service is thoughtfully designed so you can welcome your guests into an afternoon that feels intimate, elegant, and gracefully managed on your behalf
Are you a Scottsdale host who desires effortless entertaining?
The Ideal Pastry is designed for a limited number of hosts each season—a private Afternoon Tea experience for those who prefer quiet luxury over spectacle, off-site hosting, drop-off catering, self-serve platters, or large buffet-style events focused primarily on volume and price.
You may be the ideal host for this experience if:
You see your residence as a setting for private and refined, intimate gatherings.
You value your time, and would rather be fully engaged with your guests not orchestrating timing, cooking or plating, and service.
You are comfortable investing in a private chef–led experience that mirrors the standard of service you expect from the world’s finest hotels.
