Ladies Afternoon Tea!

Today I hosted a Ladies Afternoon Tea, I don't know why we don't do this more often! Probably because the size of our waist lines would considerably increase, and the lack of time we all seem to have on a Saturday afternoon!Besides this is was a fun day! With an array of finger sandwiches, strawberry tarts, mini sausage rolls, scones with Chantilly cream and jam, Champagne with strawberries and of course the treats that I'd prepared for the day!


The tea began around 3 o'clock and we scoffed ourselves until around 4:30! After we'd demolished a bottle of champagne as well, we were ready to relax and watch a movie!




Above are Strawberry Tarts with Creme Patisserie, with a lemon shortcrust pastry. Divine.
