Spot of tea?

This simply delightful cake was for a spring birthday. I loved the bitter lemon and thought it best complimented the spring topped with a tea pot. The deeper shades reminded me of playful grass stains, and a cup of tea to cool off. I recently discovered on a vacation to the middle-east just how refreshing a hot cupper under the heat is!



I decided on 4.5” and 6” cakes instead of a single large 8” cake. The tiered cake gave the same 22 servings as a 8” would have, and tiered cakes allow for different flavouring for each cake; in addition to giving grandeur to cakes.

We do have another spring inspired cake coming in a few weeks. This time thinking of deep pink and pretty hand painted flowers.

**We’re due to enjoy a lovely scorcher of a week, ahead of the bank holiday**


With Love,
Priscilla
