Hiyaaaa!
So today I went for Afternoon tea to
celebrate Mya's Birthday. This was a late birthday treat bought for her by
Cayetana and myself. We took Mya to the Runneymede on
Thames.
Upon being seated we were given a
selection of herbal teas, I choose the Green Tea, which was complimentary
refillable throughout the experience. Because I’m a green tea addict I ended up
drinking 5 cups... oops!
Then came the best bit… FOOOD! The
bottom layer consisted of finger sandwiches filled with: Ham and Mustard,
Cucumber and Cream Cheese, Salmon and Cream Cheese and finally Egg and Cress.
My personal favourite was the Egg and Cress sandwich however both the other girls
liked the salmon sandwiches the best. Some of the sandwiches where made with
white bread, the others being wholemeal. I much prefer wholemeal bread; however
being a day where you can stuff your face with cake and no one cares why not
just eat the white bread.
After devouring the sandwiches we
moved onto the second tier. This was sugar galore. I firstly tucked into two
shortbread biscuits that were sandwiched together with cream. As well as this upon
the outside was jam shaped into a pear. This biscuit literally melted into the
mouth and went all gooey which in my books is a 5/5! The cupcake seemed ever so
ordinary yet when I took a bite, lemon curd oozed everywhere! This matched the
bright yellow icing with dried citrus fruit pieces sprinkled over. Also on this
tier was a medium sized Éclair, filled with clotted cream and a large helping
of custard. Over the top was drizzled chocolate adding an extra kick. Finally
was my favourite of the tier, Fruit cake. Fruit cake always reminds me of my
grandma at Christmas because she makes the world’s best cake! This one wasn’t nearly
as good as hers, yet still was amazing, filled with glace cherries and fruit.
On the final top tier was the scones
(pronounced either like gone or cone depends who you are! I’m a gone girl at
heart.) Upon my scone I dolloped endless amounts of clotted cream (as if I hadn’t
had enough throughout the day already!) followed by strawberry jam. Scones are
one of my favourite treats because they remind me of my childhood when I used
to go to John Lewis with my mother and we would eat cheese scones for a
mid-morning snack.
I shall do a post later this week
talking about the make-up that I wore through a get ready with me post, however
I will let you know now that my dress is from New Look. I purchased the dress
last June for my Step-Fathers 50th birthday meal, so they probably don’t
sell this anymore, sorry!
I hope you have enjoyed this post;
