I always put my pictures in the post in draft and then I come back and add the words later and I think I will come up with something very clever and poetry like and then nothing...I mean nothing comes to me. I think the 6 children I have going through this house several days a week sorta leaves me at a loss of words. Well onward, I have a very inspiring book (spiritual) I will be reading and posting about on the blog. It will really get me thinking, I can't wait to share that.
My tea today I dubbed cheerful. It just looked that way in the photographs. It was perfect for this week too, because it was a year ago this week we lost my Grandfather. So a cuppa and a cheerful time together was a needful thing. 
The cup was made by Gracie China. You can only see the roses but, there were several different flowers spilling down from the rim of the cup and the outer perimeter of the saucer that were very pretty. I will have to photograph it again and show all of the flowers.
This was my intended Victoria Sponge cake that I destroyed last week not once but twice. I don't think I was meant to make a sponge cake but, this angel food cake from the grocery was still the perfect cake to base my berries and cream on. I will share how I made it tomorrow.
How is your week going?
Sherry

The cake looks absolutely wonderful. The pictures are amazing with the vivid red and blue from the berries. I also like reading how you create your post, as I usually do the reverse: write first, then add the pictures! Have a nice day.
ReplyDeleteSherry,

I am going to email you directly about your emails containing comments.

ReplyDeleteI sometimes take pictures then write comments, other times just the opposite. Depends on what sort of idea for the blog post I have in the first place.

Hi Sherry,
ReplyDeleteWow your berries and cream look amazing..I don't think there is anything wrong with a store bought angel food cake..they are very yummy (you made me giggle since I always buy store angel food cake)
Your tea cup is so sweet, and you know I love tea cups. A girl can never have enough tea cups.
Sending hugs, Elizabeth

Oh my gosh Sherry - this is a work of art !
ReplyDeleteHow gorgeous - off to pin!
( and I had to laugh with what your family calls it - too funny )
XOX
I had to comment - your delightful pics should be on the cover of a magazine! We may be heading into winter here, but I definitely think this cake is on the baking list for this weekend!
ReplyDeleteSuch a beautiful, gorgeous cake!! What a delight at a tea table!
ReplyDeleteLooks so inviting. Spring is the perfect time for tea.
ReplyDeleteYour beautiful cake really captures the feeling of Spring. I love that you put strawberry blossoms on it as well! Have a great weekend! ~Lorraine ♥♥♥
ReplyDeleteSherry, it's not only gorgeous in the photos...it has to be delicious to photograph so lovely.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing it.
Helen
Good store bought can be delicious! When I do that, I am more likely to actually set out for tea with my 2 teen girls and 3 granddaughters plus their mom, my oldest. This looks so pretty. Hope you find some calm and peace. I am sorry for your loss.
ReplyDeleteThis is so beautiful.
ReplyDeleteDebi and Charly @ Adorned From Above
Your cake is absolutely beautiful - store-bought cake can work beautifully - I can understand the need for cheerfulness - in a few days will be the anniversary of both my parents - greatly miss them but rest in my faith that someday I will see them again! I do appreciate you sharing with A Return to Loveliness,
ReplyDeleteKathy
Oh my Sherry you have taken that store bought angel food cake to a whole new level. It is simply gorgeous! Beautiful cuppa tea! Thanks for sharing with SYC.
