Martha Stewart has unveiled a stunning tea party spread she arranged for her 13-year-old granddaughter, Jude.

'When the thirteen year old granddaughter asks for a tea party for friends what does the doting grandmother do?' Martha, 82, playfully captioned an Instagram post displaying the various dishes, from deviled eggs and scones to tea sandwiches. 

'She bakes raisin scones, she makes countless healthy tea sandwiches, she picks fresh mint and brews delicious tea and she finds the most exquisite petits four!

'The girls helped, then they dressed in pretty tea dresses, they enjoyed their tea, then they relaxed in the jacuzzi -fun fun fun!' 

The slideshow revealed the delectable dishes on a pink and green floral tablecloth, with a potted snake plant making for a botanic centerpiece.

Jude is one of Martha's two grandkids, along with grandson Truman, 12, both through Martha's daughter Alexis, 58

Devil eggs appeared garnished with black caviar, while open-faced tea sandwiches were topped with thinly sliced salmon and cucumber slices.

The batch of raisin scones meanwhile were piled high on a simple white platter.

The steaming hot cups of tea brewed with fresh-picked mint leaves from Martha's garden could also be seen in white porcelain, gold-rimmed tea cups.

Not everything was homemade: Martha also served beautiful petit fours from an unnamed bakery, these coated in rose-colored and purple fondant and topped off with delicately rendered frosting flowers. 

The whole party appeared to have taken place on a porch lined with stone columns, surrounded by a grassy yard.

'Imagine your grandma being Martha Stewart...,' one fantasized.

'I've never been more jealous in my entire life. Tea with Grandma Martha omg,' a second agreed. 

'In my next life I'm coming back as your 13 year old granddaughter,' a third chimed in.

'I'm not 13. I'm 38. But I am open to adoption,' a fourth volunteered. 

'Ahhhh I'm throwing a tea party themed birthday for my 2 yr old this weekend. This is awesome inspiration!!' a fifth gushed.

'Making memories you all can cherish. That's what it's all about. Beautiful spread,' a sixth praised.

This is hardly the first time Martha has spent quality time with her granddaughter. 

In spring of 2023, the pair were spotted together at the premiere of the play Life of Pi on Broadway.
