Afternoon Beautea Cake Advice

Dearest Ladies,

I am putting together the menu for Afternoon Beautea and I would like to know what kind of cake demands/needs you have!

I personally am a big fan of chocolate torte, so that is going to be on the menu whether you like it or not, but what other cakes are a big hit.

Let me know your favourites, as I have found a wonderful little place that can cater to our requests.

You are under starters orders, 3.... 2.... 1......

Get cheesecake and I will love you forever!! I have a total weakness for it!

Otherwise, anything sweet really.. I'll eat all sweet things. Embarassed

Good grief!

It doesn't take you lot long to reply to a post on cake does it!?

If only tax returns came with the offer of free cake for a fast reply, the tax man would be bowled over with speedy responses.

That said, nice ideas ladies, well done. Your wish is my command.

OH MY GOD!!!

I cannot believe I forgot cherry bakewell tarts!!!!

(Ruby will understand what an oversight this is after witnessing me devour one the size of my head the other day!!! Embarassed )

Could I please request something dairy free because I'm lactose intollerant Sad

I could always make a vegan torte or some such nonsense with soya if anyone would share it with me?

Oh gosh, I should have remembered to mention that its only COWS milk I can't have! My boyfriend just reminded me that dairy is more than just cows milk.

I'm fine with goats/sheep milk and eggs and all that jazz. Just cows!

Ha ha Sadie that has tickled me!! It's just the cows!! Sounds like they are out to get you!!

I was told I was lactose intolerant a few years ago and it's everything, ewes, cows, goats, everything it was horrid. Wasn't allowed chocolate, crisps, processed meat, cheese, pastry... I think you get the idea. Then I just got bored and stopped caring. I may be slightly healthier if I made the effort but I am lazy and can't afford it!! Oh well!!

Ever since I was a baby cows milk made me very colic-prone and I would get really awful belly ache. My vice is cheese. I love cheese! I just eat really dark chocolate - Green and Blacks Maya Gold is my absolute favourite!

PS - The cows ARE out to get me!

Ohhhhh lovely cakes... they all sound fab, although I do have a terrible thing about bakewell tarts, caramel slices, cheesecakes, chocolate and CREAM.. If it's got cream in it, I'll eat it. HOORAH! Laughing

Edible glitter, what a great invention! I love apple pie but also like chocolate cake, jam scones with cream, fairy cakes, um, everything really. (except fruit cake, ugh, puh, puh) That was the noise of me spitting put the horrid fruit cake!
Man In A Hat

For truely wonderful cakes and lovelyness might i advice the purchase of "The London Ritz Book of Afternoon Tea: The Art and Pleasures of Taking Tea" by Helen Simpson avaible at under £5 on Amazon.. Its abook that has given me many a pleasurable afteroon!

Milk free treats!...
Carrob Crumbles are a great little flapjack type finger food - served as little round balls in mini fairy cake cups they look real sweet.
Honey, carrob (natural yummy chocolate like) chopped apple, raisins, flaked wheat and I like hemp seed in them too to make them super crunchy. Melt together, shape and chill. Devour!

Earl Grey teacake is an absolute must on any table. It will get you into any party and out of any sticky situation! x
Have a fabulous time it sounds delightful, let me know more details, you might get Dusty SpringClean making a house call for torte x
