Scones are nice but a bit of diversity in Tea parties makes it all the better. Frog has her own "nook" in the living where she has the typical plastic kitchen center and a child size table. This is where many hours of imagination burst out. The dolls and animals rounded up and placed into their seat. A reminder given to them as to how they are to use their manners and be careful with the dishes. Her stash of dress up clothes include a variety of hats and scarves. Some of course too big for the small guests present at her table, yet no less fun.
She came to me the other day asking for "cakes" to serve her guests and we decided it was time to try the Tea cake pan with a Lavender tea bread glazed with a citrus topping we spotted at this *link*. Perfect child size and for adult size get togethers, this recipe is a perfect example for this pan. Be sure to read the comments for the tip on a citrus glaze and about adding vanilla plus removing the lavender buds from the milk before mixing. We used 1 heaping Tblspn of lavender. which was the perfect amount instead of the 3Tbspn in the recipe..
The new Giveaway is for this beautiful Nordic Ware Tea Cake pan which can be used for chocolates, Jello's, and of course Tea mini cakes.Open your mind to the many possibilities and this will be a very often used pan in the Kitchen. I see this as the perfect pan to use in baby showers, dinner parties, reunions, picnics and of course a wedding shower and reception.
If you have not already, be sure to check out this link to read up on their Green Sustainable Business practices. Besides being Made in The USA, their practice of no Harsh metals or PFOAs used in their bakeware are all the more reason to delight in their products.
How can you win it? Well I think I will throw a twist into this plot. One person will be randomly picked using a number generator but the comment must include a wedding day theme tip for my dear friend White Willow. She is planning a Mountain countryside wedding with a Nature Hippie theme. Bridesmaids in true Hippie style sun dresses (not patchwork or such. Think to the style, not the multi colors), garland of flowers in her hair, Candles galore. Flowers, ferns, barefeet. I am growing White and yellow sunflowers for her tables and would love to hear any other ideas to pass on to her which she can mull around in her planning.I am ever so excited for her. I can envision what she describes and am so honored being asked to join her wedding party as a bridesmaid.
Just wanted to put a little more thought into this giveaway. It's nice to throw in a "kicker" once in a while.
I am leaving this one open until Midnight of December 1st, 2009. The day of our Etsy shop opening.
