Lemon Rose cake–for Tea

I really can’t say that this is a true Tea Time posting… I am cheating a bit!

Yesterday we celebrated our daughter’s birthday with a family dinner…it was  lovely time!

For our dessert, with our tea and coffee, we had this wonderful rose cake…luscious vanilla layers, with delightful Swiss buttercream icing. The cake was baked by our daughter’s friend who is making a name for herself with her baked creations.

We also had a key lime pie, ….very  delicious.

Joining Sandi for tea time Tuesday again.

The cake looks delicious; I can see why the friend is making a name for herself with her baking.

Victoria…and Me

Image
To see larger photos, click to enlarge.. The May-June 2009 Victoria magazine is one of my favorites, featuring blue and white... one of the open pages with an article on linens...it just happens that I have one of the patterns... There is also a feature on blue and white Wedgewood ... I have photographed some of my pieces alongside the article... ....here is my interpretation of blue and white... As a nod to the current issue of Victoria, which features some tea tables in green, I have  set out my own little tea table, with some scones... ...or perhaps you'd like to help yourself to a chocolate-cherry morsel? On this spring day, I am joining in with : Celebrate Spring http://blissfulrhythm.blogspot.com/ Mary's Mosaic Monday, on whose blog you will see some lovely snowdrops: http://dearlittleredhouse.blogspot.com/2011/03/mosaic-monday-snowdrops.html Also,   Sandi is having a special tea party today, so be sure to go over there and enjoy her lovely blog
