MENU FOR OUR MAD TEA PARTY…
So here’s what found its way on the menu for the daughter’s birthday. Some I have posted before & the rest I shall put into words by & by.
I made the stuff over a period of 3-4 days. The fact that its winter here & freezing cold helped ‘coz its so much easier make stuff in advance. There were Sugar cookies made in four different avatars out of the same dough; Mini Vanilla Cupcakes topped with a buttercream icing & chocolate embellishments; Tartlets with either chocolate ganache & marzipan decorations, or buttercream & chocolate embellishments; Mushroom canapes; Corn canapes, Dip with chips & veggies ; Cheese cookies; Jam tarts…& of course our ‘Yin Yang Chocolate Cake’!
All in all, quite a mad tea party with boisterous 12teens & 2 naughty lads!!

About me: I am a freelance food writer, recipe developer and photographer. Food is my passion - baking, cooking, developing recipes, making recipes healthier, using fresh seasonal produce and local products, keeping a check on my carbon footprint and being a responsible foodie! I enjoy food styling, food photography, recipe development and product reviews. I express this through my food photographs which I style and the recipes I blog. My strength lies in 'Doing Food From Scratch'; it must taste as good as it looks, and be healthy too. Baking in India, often my biggest challenge is the non-availability of baking ingredients, and this has now become a platform to get creative on. I enjoy cooking immensely as well.

I have been spending a lot of time on your site lately – I am about to try the fondant – waiting for the key ings to reach me
Meanwhile I want to try the marzipan decorations – a bday is coming up, and i am hopeful, even tho my last 2 attempts at this flopped.
also, you mentioned mushroom and corn canapes and i would love the filling recipes – i have a pretty good tart pastry recipe already.
