After Tea Party

two posts in one day? i know. its total blasphemy. what am i thinking? i'm crazy like a fox. i'm also extremely tired....as usual. i blame that in part due to my contacts though. they always make me extra tired. my eyes are like,"noooo what are you doing?! stahp!" okay. anyway...

look! i told you they were cute. i like the purple ones. i mean, purple is my favorite color anyway, but i don't know. they're all cute. very sweet, but delicious. that could also be because i was eating all kinds of sweet things anyway, and went on a sugar overload. who knows.

not sure if i mentioned it, but i used a sour cream pound cake recipe from my book, All Cakes Considered, by melissa gray. it is the first recipe in the book which, if anyone wants it and can't find it, i would be glad to post. maybe i'll even come back another day and post it anyway since noone responds to me on here. the poured fondant came from king arthur flours via pinterest. i decorated with a little batch of buttercream. they took some time, but i think the end result was worth it for.

hmm, well i guess i already posted a picture of the macarons, but here they are again. i don't think i mentioned that i air brushed the color onto them (aside from the white/tan ones). i didn't want to over mix, or make four batches, so this was a quicker solution. i even added some edible glitter spray to make them shiny. who doesn't like shiny? (another one of those questions- everyone does, or get out.)

sadly, only a few people turned out, most of my invites cancelled at the last minute due to various issues. that's just how it happens i guess. it made me get everything cleaned faster though. maybe a breakfast buffet will lure everyone out in the coming months.

yay scones! they turned out better than i thought, too. i think i already told my story about doubling only the milk, and going crazy over doing it wrong and all that stuff. not quite as puffy as most, but they were pretty fluffy anyway. next time i will get this...

the jam and cream went really well too. i was a little skeptic about the unsweetened cream, but the jam made up for it. english people are genius, i tell you. i am glad i have extra. they are totally going to be my breakfast for the next couple of mornings. i will need to find a use for all of this jam, too. i don't really use it for much of anything. still thinking some cheesecake is in order at some point....like that white chocolate raspberry cheesecake.

meh. i am glad a few people came out. it kind of makes me a little sad, i want to see my friends and have a life, so i try to make something fun.

i am still thinking about those jello shooter cupcakes, too....maybe later this week. i have to go get some more healthy food to cancel out all of these bad things that i am eating. of course, i only find more bad things to cancel out anything good that i eat. kind of like today. i started off with a multigrain bagel, and then went straight to some peanut butter caramel brownie ice cream, followed by scones, petit fours, oreo truffles, macarons, and fancy candy shop chocolates. i mean, i walked almost a half mile between all that....it's something, right? lol.

it's like one of these things is not like the other. i always feel kind of goofy in a dress, but have to make up for it by wearing my converse sneakers and be a total badass.

it's just how i roll. by the way, this was on my walk earlier. it was like 80 degrees of awesome outside, and i couldn't justify spending the whole day looking out the window.

le sigh. well, i guess i will try to come back later this week with something else crafty or delicious. we'll see what happens. i am going to go to bed, and not have anything to do before work tomorrow for once, although i'm sure i'll remember something at the last minute. thanks for reading! to the five who came to see me and enjoy some tea and treats, thank you for making today worth it! ♥
