Yesterday was the perfect excuse to have a day off the dreaded revision that A levels bring: we celebrated E's birthday!
First up, an elegant afternoon tea by the River Cam. We were brought 3 tier stands packed with goodies getting tastier and sweeter as you worked your way up & had the brilliant entertainment of watching kayakers fall in the river (this might have even been one of my favourite parts...)
The prettiest of the selection was the marzipan fruit (shame I'm not keen on marzipan) & the tastiest was definitely the bakewell slice.
After gorging on most of the treats, the staff kindly boxed up the rest for us to take home.
Afternoon tea was good, but my favourite part came later on.
Our dinner was a selection of all the tastiest foods. We ate our favourites before settling down to a huuuge dose of Eurovision. Am I the only one who's favourite was Hungary? My winner predictions weren't quite perfected this time, but E managed to guess both who came 1st and 2nd... (I'm not jealous at all...*cough*)
To finish the whole shabang was my mother's traditional toblerone cake! I was in charge of decorations & insisted upon using the mustache sweet, hence the 'I mustache you a question' part...
Happy Birthday E!
Exams are in full flow right now, so here is a little procrastination with some tuuunes!
This post just made me so hungry! Afternoon tea looks fab, and good luck with your exams! xx

ReplyDeleteIt was! For that cake we always like to search out the slices with toblerone chunks in which results in a very oddly cut cake hahaxx
