Tea Party


My Little Tea Party Celebration with some yummy home-made mini bites.
We had guests coming over so we decided to do a hot buffet, we have delicious  mini home-made Coronation Chicken pies served warm & alongside we had lovely spicy rocket, lettuce, & mixed salad leafs. We had bought lemon sole fish goujons with home-made spicy wedges, very tasty! I also prepared some white chocolate chunk cupcakes and added cream vanilla frosting and sprinkled with sparkling pink decorations. The buffet went down well and everything was eaten up it was really fun and I enjoyed making these tasty bites! :)

C.h.o.c

My love for chocolate led me to experimenting with some unusual but interesting variants, we had these last last Christmas: 
-Chocolate Fig Salame
-Organic Cayenne Chocolate- this has a kick to it!!
-Colman's mustard chocolate bar- if you are a fan of mustard & chocolate the combination together is amazing!
This is some chocolate worth trying even if you don't feel the combinations will suite your taste buds... d.e.l.i.c.i.o.u.s. :)

Ultimate Choc

So this is something I completed a while ago a tower of delicious rich raspberry & chocolate brownies with tasty white chocolate. I love the trickling of the white chocolate poured over to set and how it contrasts with the colour of the brownies. This was also a scrumptious dessert and I also took these to a family party and everyone commented how  luxurious there were. The warming smell of the brownies baking in the oven on a cold winters day is the greatest thing to cheer you up and will not fail to make your mouth water. :) Hope you like this one, you cannot go wrong with making chocolate brownies!!

Profiterole Delight

So this is my first attempt at a Croquembouche it is filled with vanilla cream & coated with a chocolate toffee and a sprinkle of icing sugar, it was delicious and it went down extremely well with the family. It is the perfect sharing dessert and definitely one who everyone enjoys and can indulge in. I completed this towards the end of 2011, so think it is time to for my second attempt.  Too make this even better next time I am going to make it twice as high with twice as much cream, chocolate & toffee.
Hope this satisfies your sweet tooth!!!
