Tea is a main staple in every household here. For one of the brides we had a Kitchen Tea, which is our version of a bridal shower. I made shortbread, which is highly temperamental ( At one point I wanted to through it across the kitchen, I refrained). It was my first High Tea, so I learned to make quite a few things that I have never ventured to make before. Cucumber sandwiches was one, I found the recipe on Pinterest. It was a Downtown Abbey recipe! I personally think that cucumbers belong in salads or pickled, but never on bread. As in Rome........ It was a lot of work but also a lot of fun. One of the ladies from our church provided the space to host the tea.
I even made the doily decorations, glue guns are from hell.
Our dessert table.
I saw these on...... you guessed it Pinterest. And thought what an awesome idea for cookies at a Hight Tea. They are supposed to be tea bags, if you were wondering.
They came out excellent if I do say so myself (And I do!).
A chocolate bath.
Purdy!!!! (Translation: Pretty)
A decadent tower of delight.
Meringue, very sweet. I purchased these. Haven't mastered the art yet.
Yet.
