All for the love of cake.
Sadly, there was a touch of rain on our parade (though luckily not our beautiful tablecloth!) as some friends were unable to make it. I thought perhaps instead I could spread an online blanket under the tree of the internet, and we could share the recipes - et voila, the DIY Blogger Afternoon Tea was born.
As you'll be able to see, our afternoon tea contained all of the 3 major food groups; Savouries, Scones & Sweets, and much much more than even we chatterers could eat.
The tables in La Mancha's function room simply groaned with platters of delicious delectables.
And, perhaps most importantly a rather rustic Tea Bar.
I've already been fielding cries of "When's the next one?" so watch this space. Just give my waistband a chance to recover, promise?
Every one that came and also so kindly supported us, I've tried to blog stalk for lovely tea recipes, but I would adore any more recipes links in the comments below. Or Tweeted. Or cooked for me to try (I joke. Mostly).
Once again, thank you, thank you, thank you.
