Hey Everyone
Just thought I would update you my tea party was a success I made cupcakes, lemon and poppy seed cakes, scones and brownies and lots of sandwiches we all had a fab time the tea definitely tasted nicer out of the good china teacup and saucer

A friend is organising the refreshments for a series of presentations and is catering to suit the time. The next presentation is Saturday at 4pm, I have been asked to make a victoria sponge. What else could I make that would be suitable?, mini muffins out as she is doing them! But something on that idea I think would be good, think I will make a fresh cream sponge (as I make a mean one!), but want to go feeling as if I have made a contribution.

scones , biscuits, a cream sponge and a Victoria sponge are the same thing really so I'd make one or the other, do they want savouries as well? cucumber sandwiches, cheese straws

Lemon or Lime drizzle cake is easy to make and always goes down well!

Coffee & walnut cake always goes down well.

If you happen to have a madeleine tin, madeleines are easy to make and look a bit special Or maybe some small cupcakes/fairy cakes with flavoured and coloured buttercream frosting.
