Afternoon Tea Updates

Well, I have done 2 Afternoon Teas since my last post and both were a great success! The first one, my American themed one had to spread on to two tables, one in the dining room and one in the hall. The favourite sandwich Pastrami on Rye and the favourite cake of the afternoon Pecan Pies.

The second was for the lovely ladies at the school enjoying the last day of term! The favourite cake of this group was the Tiny Meringues sandwiched together with Vanilla Cream (which this is not a picture of! - these are Baby Madeiras with Raspberry Crush. mmmmm)

It was suggested that I do a Favourites Menu for one of my Afternoon Tea dates. What a good idea!!!!!!! Watch this space for more details.
Next Afternoon Tea is 21st August - book now to secure your place.

Summer Cakes

Back in the eighties I used to buy Apricot Madelines, not the little shell shaped cakes but light sponge coated in apricot jam the covered in coconut. You don't seem to be able to buy these now so I thought I would give them a go. Am I glad I did, they came out really well and they look lovely and summery and will definately be on the menu of a future tea party!
