Tea Time Tuesday!



Welcome to Tea Time Tuesday!

I know many of you have been anxiously awaiting this event. I can't wait to sit down with you a share a spot of tea.

I am having a wonderful time visiting with my son and daughter-in-law and grandson, Cole, in Colorado Springs.

The weather is absolutely beautiful and we have been outside all day today.

So, since I am out-of-town - we are going to have a Virtual Tea Party instead.


(*all pictures courtesy of Google pics.)



So, donn your prettiest tea dress and come and visit for a spell...



While I am pouring your tea...



...head on over to the tea table which I have set up especially for you.

Its filled with a variety of sweet and savory goodies....

Let's start with some tea cakes...



These charming petit fours are a good place to start. Don't you just love

these sweet, little "packages?"



More package petit fours. Don't forget to select a few decorated sugar cubes

for your tea.



Banana Cream Cakes with Buttercream Frosting and chocolate shavings.

Oh, go ahead and take two!



Lemon Cakes w/ Lemon Meringue. Look at those perfect little peaks.



Small vanilla cakes covered in fondant and roses. I heart the vintage silver tea cake server.

So, I hope you have enjoyed my Virtual Tea Party. I will announce next week when

the next tea party will be held. I have a special treat ... I will do a demonstration of

how to decorate the sugar cubes with frosting roses, and I will also show you how to

make roses and leaves. I have been experimenting with making some videos -

so we will see. :-)


If you are participating in Tea Time Tuesday, I ask that you please use the

small or large logo - and also, please refer back to the host blog, Grits and Glamour -

so others may come back here to get a full list of all Tea Party attendees.

Happy Tea Time Tuesday!
