Hi my fellow foodies!
It was my boyfriends birthday at the start of the month, so I decided to treat him to an afternoon tea.
I wanted to support my local cafe/bistro, especially during lockdown, so I ordered the afternoon tea from Seventeen on Coxhoe high street.
It did not disappoint.
On collection, it was presented beautifully in neat little boxes and decorated with a cute pink bow! This was such a nice touch.
As it was afternoon tea for two, the boxes were filled with cakes, sandwiches and more sweet surprises…
The cake box (my favourite) was filled with a maringue topped with fruit and cream, a cream and jam scone, a melt-in-the-mouth chocolate brownie and a classic cupcake with vanilla butter cream.
The box also had two massive strawberries decoratively drizzled with white and dark chocolate!
I decided to go one step further and glam up the cakes by putting them on my pink cake stand to get the perfect close-up.
In the savoury box, we had little finger sandwiches. The three fillings were ham and pease pudding, cheese savoury and egg.
Next up, the pastry.
Each box had a mini sausage roll, pork pie, cheese and tomato quiche and a corned beef pie. They were absolutely lush, and filling too.
I think we were sat eating this for at least 2 hours, slowly nibbling and chatting away, but he absolutely loved it as a birthday surpise.
It was a great idea to support my local cafe and to celebrate by enjoying some lovely cakes and pastry’s.
