We decided that we didn’t want to get Millie christened but were still keen to get friends and family together for a party. So we are planning a garden party afternoon tea in June, which is very exciting. Of course, I wanted to make my own invitations and even though it was fiddly think I’ve managed to capture the theme. Now onto the rest of the planning……… most importantly which cakes to make!
Last weekend we went to a lovely garden party at my mother-in-law’s. Luckily the unreliable summer weather was kind and stayed sunny for the occasion – the garden was decked out with bunting and filled full of friends having a good time. The theme was ‘afternoon tea’ and so there was a great array of homemade cakes to be marvelled at (see pics) and there was a good effort made by all to sample a piece of each! Some of the inspiration & recipes came from two really good cookbooks – ‘Bake me I’m yours…cupcake’ and ‘Afternoon tea parties’.
