Tea Party

As many of you will know, my favourite "meal" of the day is afternoon tea, there is something entirely decadent about eating gorgeously decorated cakes and sipping tea from a china tea cup, especially when sharing it with fab friends! Which is exactly what I spent the majority of Saturday afternoon doing in my newly decorated dining room...



..and I just couldn't resist colour coordinating it all, down to the icing on my freshly made cupcakes. It all started when I found the most beautiful striped wrapping paper by Caroline Gardner from John Lewis and then teamed it with coordinating ribbon and paper from Hobbycraft...





I spent most of the morning baking, much to the pleasure of my fiance who would magically appear to lick the bowl!

We indulged in red velvet cupcakes with cream cheese frosting (my favourite)...





rocky roads...



vanilla cupcakes...



and a couple of treats courtesy of M&S...





and the final touch was some fresh white tulips...



everyone seemed to enjoy themselves and we were all suitably stuffed by the end of it!
