Fathers Day Afternoon Tea

For my birthday my sister got me an afternoon tea  delivery, which was amazing - especially because we were living through Covid-19 lockdown so our usual cuppies out and about had been halted.  When it came to Fathers Day a few weeks later though we thought we could manage it between ourselves for our Dad, our husbands and our father-in laws. 

Between us we made...

Meringues (of course!)

Scones

Various fillings in rolls and wraps

Banana nutella mini loaves, rolo rocky road and chocolate truffles 

Mini quiches and (bought) sausage rolls 

Mini lemon cheesecakes 

Mini victoria sponges 

 We delivered our selection out to the father in laws and had a socially distanced picnic with the husbands and our own Dad.  It was really lovely.  The amount of food was amazing and all very tasty even if we do say so ourselves 🤣 

We did have a little practice run a few weeks before with just me and my sister and the kids and it went very well.  There is no wonder I am suffering from a lockdown gut but I have enjoyed the process 🐖🐷🐽

What is not to love about an afternoon tea?  Loads of food with tons of flavour and you get to keep eating until it is finished.  Need another excuse for an afternoon tea soon! 

Birthday Cakes Round Up

 I have had lots of parties over the past few years so thought I would do a round up post on all the birthday cakes I have made for my kids.  I am missing a few years for Finlay before Google photos!  Also the cakes were really dire hahaha.   There are links to the blog post party under the photos if there is one.

Finlay's 14th Birthday - Xbox controller buttons (was warned not to go overboard on theme!)

13th birthday staying at my Mum's between houses and her oven broke so a bit of a miracle this cake!  His favourite You Tube channel at the time was Faze

Finlay's 12th birthday - his favourite You Tubers (Jelly, Slogoman, Dan TDM, Kwebbelkop, Jack Septiceye) - I had just given birth to his baby brother 2 days before this so pretty impressive there was even a cake at all :)
