We did a birthday tea yesterday
and I never remember to take pictures. This one of my miniature lemon cakes proves I am changing my ways. I caught it just as Kim was packing them up to whisk them out the door. They are ,of course, a damp cake,soaked in lemon syrup, tangy enough that they demand your full attention for a moment or two. We also gave them miniature chocolate cakes, scones and sandwiches: roast beef with shallot blue cheese butter, ham and brie, cucumber and arugula, and my passion, freshly made pretzel bread with Branston pickle and aged cheddar cheese. Luckily, I had leftover pretzel so I'm going to greedily eat it right now! I'll be back to tell you how the rosemary syrup cake comes out.

  3. I've joined the masses just so I could comment. So much for rejecting peer pressure.

    Here's my comment:
