About a year ago my lovely sister-in-law asked me if I would make a cake for her wedding. I also offered to make one for another dear friend who was to marry the weekend before my sister-in-law.
So in my two week uni holidays last september I spent over forty hours in our tiny little kitchen. I made 12 separate cake layers, used over three and half kilos of white chocolate and I am sure almost my own weight in butter.
But the truth is, I had so much fun.
...and now, a year later, I am going to get baking again for two lovely sisters who are both getting married this year.
On the weekend, I had the girls and their partners over for some cake tasting and afternoon tea, including some delicious, fancy tea sandwiches.
I was given the recipe by the lovely Amelia Ruby from The Tea Parlour in Sydney and believe me they are simply divine.
{Cucumber Sandwiches}
Six slices of soft white bread
One telegraph cucumber, thinly sliced
cream cheese spread
Dried Oregano
Salt & White Pepper
Spread the each slice of bread with with a generous amount of cream cheese spread.
Place cucumbers pieces on three of the slices of bread.
Sprinkle with oregano and a little salt and pepper.
Cut into triangles and serve with some hot tea
... and a slice of cake of course.
