Well, what a weekend!!! With final numbers of 37, the afternoon tea had certainly grown since last time, having to turn away people who were hoping for a last minute space (Sorry!!) Hopefull all that attended had a fabulous time. Preparations have been going on in the cottage for a few weeks now, with everything from handmade name tags for the place settings to strawberry jewellery to picking strawberries to create yummy homemade strawberry sauce. And then for the baking!! The menu consisted of a selection of sandwiches, scones with jam and cream, a giant chocolate fudge cake, strawberry cupcakes, mini meringues, lemon bars, miniature individual trifles, jam tarts and a strawberry and white chocolate truffle. Quite a feast! I had not anticipated quite so many people so with two long tables of hungry guests, Mum and I set to work with Summer Punch, Tea, Sandwiches and more. Then when everyone was well fed and it was all over....washing up time again and bed!! For anyone who attended, I would love to hear your feedback. See the album below for more pictures from the day!
