a classic...not so classic

You may remember me doing a guest post for the very lovely Lauren over at Aspiring Kennedy blog a little while ago. From now on I'll be guest posting a recipe every month. Today's recipe was a revelation for me. I'd never liked this boring old sponge until I tried this version at a friend's tea party. Check out her scrumptious baking blog here and for full details of how to make this sweet treat, make a trip in this direction.

jewell bright afternoon tea

I’ve recently become very interested and hugely inspired by event styling. America are way ahead of us Brits on this front! The idea of combining two things I love, hospitality and design seems like a perfect idea. Here’s my bright and bold afternoon tea that I arranged for 7 of my friends. I had a lot of fun designing, making and cooking up a storm in the kitchen. The only complaints afterwards were of a few sugar headaches. I’m very excited to get stuck into some more small scale events!

Tissue pom poms are a bit of a ‘thing’ at the moment, I found a tutorial for how to make them yourself!
My advice would be to have a go at baking the Oreo cupcakes above, they were very tasty indeed!
