4. Cherry pie bites
These Air Fryer Cherry Pie Bites are a quick and delicious way to enjoy the classic flavors of cherry pie in a bite-sized treat. Made with flaky biscuits and sweet cherry filling, they cook up golden and crispy in minutes.
You will need only a handful of ingredients - Grands Biscuit dough or similar (to us in UK these are like flaky scones - we may need to make the dough from scratch first) cherry pie filling, powdered sugar and milk. Our recipe serves 16, takes around 15 mins to make and about 10 minutes to bake.
You will need
• 8 Grands biscuits flaky layers, separated in half
• 1 - 1 1/2 cups cherry pie filling
• ¼ cup powdered sugar
• 1-2 tsp milk
• Measuring cups and spoons
• Small bowl and spoon
• Air fryer
• 8 Grands biscuits flaky layers, separated in half
• 1 - 1 1/2 cups cherry pie filling
• ¼ cup powdered sugar
• 1-2 tsp milk
• Measuring cups and spoons
• Small bowl and spoon
• Air fryer
Start by separating the biscuits in half, then roll each half out to make it flat.
Add a small spoonful of filling (about 3 cherries with a little of the glaze) into the center of each.
Then pull the edges up and pinch together to somewhat form a ball shape.
Grease the air fryer basket and place the cherry pie bites spaced apart in the basket, seam side up. I was able to make 8 at a time.
Air fry at 350 for 5 minutes, then flip the cherry pie bites over and air fry for another 5 minutes. Then remove the cherry pie bites from the air fryer and allow to cool slightly.
Mix the powdered sugar and milk to make the glaze.
It's ready when it has a smooth consistency.
Then use a spoon to drizzle over the cherry pie bites.
You could alternatively use some pink cherry glace icing to top or cover them, like mini cream puffs or profiteroles. These make perfect afternoon tea party bites!
5. An ice cream tasting party activity

9. Set up a chalkboard style party message wall for guests
So all guests can write, draw and scribble their own messages on it! You could even set up a giant chalkboard canvas that guests can decorate, with photos, drawings and messages! This would make an amazing photo backdrop for the party, for guests to take photos in front of. To create the canvas backdrop for guests to decorate, grab some black paper or cardstock and staple it to a base, such as a wall, fence or giant board made from cardboard. Provide guests with some chalks and liquid chalk markers and let them decorate to their hearts content.
