This is the last one... I promise. Absolutely love making afternoon teas, not only the coming together of a cake or a ganache meringue, but the coming together of all the cakes and sandwiches, the beautiful china (not mine sadly!), the flowers, and finally the people. That's probably the same reason I love picnics too. This particular afternoon tea consisted of lemon and raspberry cupcakes with a lemon curd and mascarpone icing, chocolate powder puffs (amazing! Thank you @ottolenghi for that recipe), chocolate meringues with choc ganache, plain meringues with whipped cream and raspberry jam, cucumber sandwiches with cream cheese, and egg mayo finger sandwiches. . . . . #afternoontea #hightea #sweettooth #sweet #cake #baking #homebaking #privatecook #homecook #meringue #chocaholic #chocolate #chocolatelab #fingersandwiches #holidayfun #teatime #tea #foodphotography #foodporn #foodgasm #foodphotograph #recipe #foodblogger #eatingfortheinsta #eatyourheartout #instafood

Chocolate ganache sandwiched between chocolate meringues, popped in the fridge for an hour to simultaneously harden the ganache and slightly soften the meringues, then placed on pretty pink plates and gobbled up. . . . . . #chocolate #chocolatemeringue #afternoontea #hightea #chocolatelab #chocaholic #meringue #specialoccasion #eatingfortheinsta #eatinscotland #scotland #eatyourheartout #indulgence #instafood #foodie #foodphotography #foodphotograph #foodporn #foodgasm #sweettooth #sweet

Some people (like myself a few years ago) think that thinly sliced cucumber for a traditional cucumber sandwich is the way to go. They're wrong. A good cucumber sandwich needs bite (and a bit of cream cheese)

Lemon and raspberry muffins with (homemade!) lemon curd and mascarpone icing. Also feeling slightly bamboozled by the fact that lemon curd is yellow not because of its lemony-ness, but rather the egg yolks inside. Sorry if I've just ruined lemon curd for you. I'm also sorry for the slow, tortuous drip of artery-clogging cake porn on your Instagram feeds. It's only just begun. . . . . #cakeporn #foodphotography #afternoontea #teatime #cakes #homemadecooking #homecooking #baking #ilovetobake #lemonandraspberry #cupcakes #homecook #foodie #foodphotograph #instafood #eatingfortheinsta #scotland #privatecook #foodporn #foodgasm #baking #hightea #yum

Freshly cut elderflower heads from Hampstead Heath ready to be turned into elderflower champagne! Non alcoholic, although the longer you bottle it, the more likely it will become alcoholic. However it doesn't always turn out nice, so best drink it after two weeks of bottling when it has formed a delicious, delicate fizz. Even better with a drop of gin. Check out last year's recipe, link on my bio x . . . . . #foodie #foodinspiration #drinks #drinkrecipe #drinkstagram #eatingfortheinsta #drinkingfortheinsta #recipeideas #recipe #foodblogger #recipeblogger #blogger #foodblog #elderflower #uk #london #londonfoodie #londonblogger #foodphotograph #foodphotography #liveauthentic
