If anyone is looking for Fathers Day cupcakes then Coral-lee Stead is your girl - she makes lovely cupcakes that are really tasty and look fab too!

Six cupcakes for £10 - collection from Meadowcroft

I bought some Jubilee Cupcakes from her and they were so tasty they lasted about ten mins in my house 😋

Sometimes when I’ve bought pre cooked cupcakes from bakers in Aylesbury they can look amazing but be very dry and these ones aren’t at all 🙌🏼

She also makes birthday and special occasion cakes that are amazing too xx

Combine until mixture is smooth and divide between two cases or one if cutting in half.
Cool at 160 fan or 180 oven for 30/35mins

Use fresh berries and extra thick cream and jam to decorate 🍓🫐🇬🇧

My beautiful Great Nan and Nanny Jo 💕

Great Nan loved a Battenberg Cake and Nanny Jo is the reason I love vintage tea-sets, we loved nothing better when I was a little than dressing up and dancing to Doris Day on the record player and having a cup of tea 🫖

The difference between Afternoon Tea and High Tea

🫖Afternoon Tea

Involves things like manners, lace, and dainty foods. It is typically served in the mid-afternoon and it was traditionally served on low tables, hence its two names.

An afternoon tea menu is light and focuses on scones, finger sandwiches. Marmalade, lemon curds, and herbed butter may also be included. Favorite teas for afternoon tea include black teas like Earl Grey and Assam as well as herbal teas like chamomile and mint.

Historically, afternoon tea was considered to be a ladies' social occasion, and it is more often enjoyed by women than men to this day.

🫖High Tea

Traditionally, high tea was a working-class meal served on a high table at the end of the workday, shortly after 5 p.m.

High tea was a heavy meal of:

•Meat dishes such as steak and kidney pie
•Fish dishes such as pickled salmon
•Baked goods such as crumpets or, in Ireland, barmbrack
•Vegetables such as potatoes or onion cakes
•Other heavy foods such as baked beans and cheesy casseroles

The Origin of Afternoon Tea

Afternoon tea was introduced in England by Anna, the 7th Duchess of Bedford, in 1840. The Duchess would become hungry around 4pm in the afternoon. The evening meal in her household was served fashionably late at 8pm, leaving a long period of time between lunch and dinner. The Duchess asked that a tray of tea, bread and butter (some time earlier, the Earl of Sandwich had had the idea of putting a filling between two slices of bread) and cake be brought to her room during the late afternoon. This became a habit of hers and she began inviting friends to join her.
