cute little tea cake!
sponge cake with cream and jam filling covered with marzipan.
lovely! i don't like marzipan usually but it's good rolled and covering cake(apparently)!
My grandma had a ritual for tea and cake in the afternoon! Out came the best china (no mugs or everyday cups) with matching cups, saucers and plates. Paper doilies (remember those?) and even special small knives to cut the cake on your plate! With matching milk jug and sugar bowl, it was quite a daunting experience for a small girl like me 😊 But the prize was a slice of cake, or sometimes even a cup cake of my own!
For the SoS group: "cakes and cookies"

MUTZLI: "Malachi, do you think Her Majesty would think it wrong if I were to lick the whisk? After all, we do have the strawberry sponge cake covered in pink icing."
MALACHI: "Oh no Mutzli!" *Selects a cupcake decorated with pink sprinkles and a pink rabbit.* "Her Majesty went through the war, so she understands about food rationing, and not letting food go to waste. Besides, Mutzli, you know what I always say, when it comes to food."
MUTZLI: "Waste not, want not?"
MALACHI: "Exactly!"
2022 marks the year that Her Majesty The Queen will become the first British Monarch to celebrate a Platinum Jubilee after 70 years of devoted and loyal service to her people.
Celebrations will be happening in Britain and around the world during the Platinum Jubilee Central Weekend which takes place from 2nd to 5th June.
Malachi and his cousin Mutzli are enjoying a pink themed tea part in honour of Her Majesty's Platinum Jubilee. They are using their pink edged pink rose tea set, and as well as the pink iced strawberry sponge, they are having cupcakes with pink icing and pink strawberry chocolates. And all of this they are having on.... hang on! Malachi. That's my book of old restaurant advertisements you are taking tea on!
MALACHI: "Well, you will insist on leaving your books unattended, Daddy. There was a nice matching pink page to sit on."
MUTZLI and MALACHI: "God save our Queen! Long may she reign over us! Hip-hip hoorah! Hip-hip hoorah! Hip-hip hoorah!"
Malachi I acquired in mid-March 2020 (and mid Coronavirus) from a wonderful Melbourne stalwart toy shop: Dafel Dolls and Bears, when I went looking for a present for one of my goddaughters. Malachi is designed by Mary and hand-made by Wendy Joy in Australia. He has articulated arms and legs, and an extremely sweet face. Malachi was the name he came with, written by hand on his little tag.
Mutzli was a lovely surprise gift from a dear friend in Britain who kindly slipped him into a parcel of other delightful gifts for me. Like Malachi, he is mohair, has articulated arms and legs, and an extremely sweet face. Mutzli got his name from the tiny gold tag around his neck. He is made by Mutzli, a Swiss bear manufacturer since 1949.
Yesterday was a Bank Holiday here in England, so a lovely three day weekend with my family. As me and hubby were busy gardening I thought we needed some extra strength to get us through the hard work.. so I made this... and consequently had to go for a 4 mile run this morning... enough said ha ha... Happy Tuesday... KissThePixel2019

This could well be completely out of context to the theme for this week, but it was all I could come up with. The weather hasn't allowed me to get out for any night-time photography.
It's a double coloured sponge cake.
I'll leave it up to the Admin and Mods to decide if it stays in the pool.
Will catch up with you tomorrow, off to watch TV.
Better viewed large and thank you for your favourites. :O)
My friend Tracy came to see me today so I decided to try and make some more cakes in my air fryer. Here she is trying one and doing her best to ignore Harbie! (We eat most things at the table cos it's so much easier!)
vem ska kakan smaka? wanna taste that cake/cookie?
Too busy to "open" the 2nd door/shutter in my Photo Advent Calender yesterday so I do it today instead. Will visit your photostreams tonight. Sunshine and no work today so I'm gonna take a long walk.
16th April 2018:
My home made pudding. Made yesterday, but it will do us two more nights.
Sponge on the bottom, with a tin of fruit cocktail poured over that with the syrup, topped off with some Brid's custard.
So easy, but very tasty.
This wasn't my intended photo for today, but the one I took didn't come out as I'd hoped - wrong light. :0(
Better viewed large and thank you for your favourites. :O)
MUTZLI: "Malachi, are you quite sure that Daddy isn't gong to mind us taking our elevenses here on the mantlepiece?"
MALACHI: "Why on earth should he mind, Mutzli?"
MUTZLI: "Well, he might not be so pleased that you relocated his Royal Worcester Babes in the Wood figurine to create the perfect place for us to sit and take tea and cake."
MALACHI: "They are a statue, and don't care about a soft place to sit, like this nice comfortable doily. Nor do they care about food."
MUTZLI: "No, that's true Malachi, but they might care about now being lots of broken shards all over the hearthstone and floor."
MALACHI: "This beautiful vantage point was wasted on them. It's much more suited to us, Mutzli. Just consider them collateral damage in the never ending search of the perfect spot for elevenses. Besides, don't forget that you helped get rid of them too."
MUTZLI: "Only because you asked me to assist you Malachi."
MALACHI: "Well, let's have no more talk about them, or you'll spoil my appetite, and when there is strawberry cream sponge on the offing, that's the last thing I want. Grumbly tummy Mutzli! Grumbly tummy!" *Rubs tummy vigorously.*
DADDY: "Malachi! Mutzli! What on earth are you doing sitting on the dining room mantlepiece?"
MALACHI: "Well, I should have thought that was obvious, Daddy! We are about to have elevenses. After all, it is just on eleven." *Points to clock.*
DADDY: "And where is my Royal Worcester Babes in the Wood figurine that was where you are sitting?"
MALACHI: "I couldn't say, Daddy. Perhaps they went and got lost somewhere."
MUTZLI: *Points down to the hearth with paw.*
DADDY: *Looks down.* "Oh no!"
MALACHI: "You had to go and spoil our elevenses, didn't you Mutzli?" *Tuts and shakes head.*
The theme for "Smile on Saturday" for the 7th of January is "capture the time", where anything that has to do with time is allowed and may include 'a moment in time', 'a period in time', 'the progression of time' or 'measure the passage of time'. I immediately thought of that most British of customs, elevenses, also known as morning tea. Elevenses is a short break taken at around eleven the the morning to consume a drink or snack. It is perhaps most famously associated with Paddington Bear.
If you follow my photostream, you may know that I collect 1:12 size miniatures, some of which have featured in past themes in the “Smile on Saturday” group. This includes Malachi the bear, who today is joined by his cousin, Mutzli and the pair are enjoying a rather splendid elevenses of tea and cake. I do hope that you like my choice, and that this photograph makes you smile!

He is made by Mutzli, a Swiss bear manufacturer since 1949.
The cow creamer Mutzli holds has been hand made and painted by Welsh miniature ceramist Rachel Williams who has her own studio, V&R Miniatures, in Powys. If you look closely, you will see that the cow actually has a smile on her face and that she has her own removable lid which is minute in size! The Peter Rabbit in the watering can tea pot to the right of Malachi was made by French ceramicist and miniature artisan Valerie Casson. The strawberry sponge cake is made from polymer clay and is very realistic and was made by Karen Ladybug miniatures in England. The porcelain cups and saucers and plates were part of a job lot of over one hundred pieces of 1:12 chinaware I bought from a seller on E-Bay.
The clock Malachi and Mutzli flank is a dainty Swiza seven jewels Swiss made brass alarm clock from the mid 1940s with an enamelled face. It has a very pleasant ring. Swiza established their business in 1943 and whilst they became famous for making clocks and watches, the company is better known today for its Swiss knives sets.
For the Smile on Saturday challenge: "Sprinkles"
A challenge you can eat! What better for a photoshoot! ;o)
I'm not familiar with decorative 'sprinkles' so I went looking in the local mini-supermarket. I didn't find much, so I decided to indulge myself with a chocolate covered sponge, and some white and milk chocolate curls. And yes, it is Mr Kipling 'French Fancy' that I managed to cut into 4 thin slices ... and a macro lens to get up close to that chocolate sprinkled over the cake! And ... all photo props were eaten and thoroughly enjoyed ;o)
HSoS!! and a lovely weekend to all ;o)

DADDY: “Goodness Malachi! What are you doing?”
MALACHI: “I should have thought that was obvious, Daddy! I’m reading!”
DADDY: “Yes, I can see that. Do you know what time it is?”
MALACHI: “According to your many chiming clocks Daddy, it’s after midnight.”
DADDY: “Well Malachi, isn’t that a good reason to be in bed, sleeping, rather than being up and reading?”
MALACHI: “I shouldn’t think so, Daddy, as I couldn’t sleep. Why waste time lying there staring at the ceiling when you could be enjoying the great William Shakespeare!”
DADDY: “And the tea and lemon sponge?”
MALACHI: “Call them midnight refreshments, Daddy.”
DADDY: “I’m not so sure that Richard III is very good to eat cake to. Perhaps a Midsummer Night’s Dream might be better.”
MALACHI: “Don’t worry Daddy, I have a strong stomach. Now off you go to bed. You need your beauty sleep.”
DADDY: “Err… thank you Malachi… I think!”
The theme for “Looking Close on Friday” for the 21st of May is “between”. I spent quite a bit of time photographing bookmarks sticking out of the pages of various volumes I have in my library, but I wasn’t very happy with the results. Then it struck me that Malachi, my miniature 1:12 size bear hasn’t featured in “Looking Close on Friday” or my photostream for quite a while, and I thought that he would look very nice between the pages of my big old volume of Shakespeare with the red edged pages that I had been photographing. I hope that you like my choice, and that this photograph makes you smile!
Malachi I acquired in mid-March 2020 (and mid Coronavirus) from a wonderful Melbourne stalwart toy shop: Dafel Dolls and Bears, when I went looking for a present for one of my goddaughters. Malachi is designed by Mary and hand-made by Wendy Joy in Australia. He has articulated arms and legs, and an extremely sweet face. Malachi was the name he came with, written by hand on his little tag.
Malachi is taking tea from a 1:12 gilt miniature “Baroness” tea set made by Reutter Porzellan in Germany. He has a delicious lemon sponge made lovingly by hand by Karen Ladybug Miniatures in the United Kingdom. All the pieces are artisan made 1:12 miniatures from my own collection. My copy of the “Complete Works of Shakespeare” is being held open by one of my Grandfather’s hand-made chess pieces.
Confirmation cake for Peter who plays a lot of badminton.
Spongecake, chocolatecake, rhubarbmousse and whitechocolate mouce.
The net is plastik...
Custom order.
These charms are ready to be attached to a cell phone, keychain, earrings, necklace, bracelet, zipper or whatever your imagination comes up with and even craft projects!
Light sponge cake made with the cake ingredients. Filled with passion fruit curd and whipped cream. Dusted with icing sugar.
These are commercially mass produced steamed sponge cakes, another simple variety made from eggs, sugar and flour. Uniquely, soft drink like ice cream soda is used as a liquid in a recipe that I came across.
My friend Tracy came to see me today so I decided to try and make some more cakes in my air fryer. Last week I made a small Vic sponge, and although Tim, JJ and I ate it over the weekend, it wasn't the best cake! (A bit underbaked)
So today I had another go at small cakes, sliced the tops off and put a layer of raspberry jam and butter icing. The cake are very tiny but seemed tasty!
My OH is off to hospital tomorrow (dental surgery, nothing to worry about) and can't eat anything after midnight, so today I baked him a cake as a pre-surgery treat. The remainder will be waiting for him when he gets back home on Wednesday morning, provided I can keep my own gnashers off it!
Victoria Sandwich with raspberry jam and buttercream filling from a Mary Berry recipe.
The theme for “Smile on Saturday” for the 9th of October is “cakes and cookies”. As I chose a biscuit for the “chocolate” theme in “Looking Close on Friday”, I decided that I had better select cakes for this theme. Anyone who follows my photostream knows that I have teddy bears. Did you know that bears have two birthdays? Yes, it’s true, just ask my Paddington Bear, Paddy, and he will tell you. My bears get to celebrate one birthday per year with a party and cake, and I always ask them what cakes they want to fill their grumbly tummies. This collage features four bear sized examples of the cakes I bake for them. I hope you approve of my choices, and that this collage makes you smile.
Clockwise from the top left: a Victoria sponge decorated with icing sugar and hundreds and thousands, a rich chocolate cake decorated with hundreds and thousands, an orange poppyseed cake decorated with orange curd and a chocolate hazelnut cake decorated with drinking chocolate.
Prepared by Graham me. Yes I found the kitchen and prepared our treat. Now, now, don't faint anyone.
Not the best photo I've taken of something we've had to eat, but the stress of preparing it was obviously just too much!! Plenty left for tomorrow evening and Tuesday.

Thank you for your favourites. :O)
It's an exciting day in the village, for today a new Queen will be crowned. All over the globe across every part of the British Empire there will be celebrations being held, including in the village. Here a Coronation Afternoon Tea is being held and everyone has pitched in to help make it as celebratory as possible.
Mrs. Gough who runs the high street haberdashers has decked the street out with Union Jack bunting. Miss Vine the postmistress has created some very patriotic cupcakes with Union Jacks made out of royal icing. Mr. Tavistock the grocer, has baked a cherry bakewell tart. Miss Kitty Arundel of "The Oaks" has made some whimsical fairy cupcakes decorated with coloured marzipan flowers and sprinkles. Mr. Jervis from "Knollys Farm" has used fresh produce from his farm to make ham, cheese, tomato, lettuce and tomato sandwich triangles. Old Gladys Hawarden, the Major's widow, has dusted off her beautiful crystal and made a delectable trifle. Mrs. Snowdon's daughter, Daisy has excelled herself with her home economics skills learned at school and has created a light and fluffy sponge that looks almost too good to eat... almost. Mr. Berry of "Apple Tree Farm" has kindly supplied orange juice and creamy fresh milk. Mrs. Ponsonby from "Willow Cottage" has gone through every cupboard she has to find teapots, milk jugs, sugar bowls and teacups, all not seen before the war, to help make endless cups of tea. Retired railway master Mr. Hemsley has brightened the table with a selection of his white roses in a fitting regal cranberry glass vase. And to keep the children occupied and amused for the afternoon, Miss Mainwaring the schoolmistress has acquired Coronation colouring books and pencils from London.
Now everyone can celebrate the Coronation of Queen Elizabeth II and user in the new Elizabethan Age in true style.
2022 marks the year that Her Majesty The Queen will become the first British Monarch to celebrate a Platinum Jubilee after 70 years of devoted and loyal service to her people.
Celebrations will be happening in Britain and around the world during the Platinum Jubilee Central Weekend which takes place from 2nd to 5th June.
I thought I would add to the celebrations with my own Coronation 1952 Afternoon Tea harking back to when The Queen was first crowned, made up completely with pieces from my miniatures collection.
God bless our Queen! Long may she reign over us!
Fun things to look for in this tableau:
The Coronation Colouring Book is a 1:12 size miniature made by the British miniature artisan Ken Blythe. Most of the books I own that he has made may be opened to reveal authentic printed interiors. In some cases, you can even read the words, depending upon the size of the print! I have quite a large representation of Ken Blythe’s work in my collection. This colouring book has pages inside that feature images that could be coloured. To give you an idea of the work that has gone into this volume, it contains twelve double sided pages of illustrations and it measures thirty-three millimetres in height and twenty millimetres in width. What might amaze you even more is that all Ken Blythe’s opening books are authentically replicated 1:12 scale miniatures of real volumes. To create something so authentic to the original in such detail and so clearly, really does make this a miniature artisan piece. Ken Blythe’s work is highly sought after by miniaturists around the world today and command high prices at auction for such tiny pieces, particularly now that he is no longer alive. I was fortunate enough to acquire pieces from Ken Blythe prior to his death about four years ago, as well as through his estate via his daughter and son-in-law. His legacy will live on with me and in my photography which I hope will please his daughter. I hope that it makes you smile with its sheer whimsy!
The coloured pencils on the table are 1:12 miniatures as well, and is only one millimetre wide and two centimetres long.
The Union Jack cupcakes, flower cupcakes, cherry bakewell tart, tray of sandwiches and trifle are all artisan pieces that have been made in England by hand from clay by former chef turned miniature artisan, Frances Knight. Her work is incredibly detailed and realistic, and she says that she draws her inspiration from her years as a chef and her imagination.
The lemon sponge is also an artisan piece made by Karen Ladybug Miniatures in England.
Made by French ceramicist and miniature artisan Valerie Casson, the Dolly Varden teapot, Peter Rabbit in a watering can teapot and the goose jug are all authentic 1:12 miniatures of real ceramic pieces.
The cranberry glass vase was issued by Glasscraft for The Queen's Golden Jubilee. It is made from real cranberry glass, is hand blown, etched with a portrait of the Queen in profile and hand gilded around the rim.
The white roses in the vase, and the jugs of orange juice and milk all come from Beautifully Handmade Miniatures in Kettering. The jugs are made of hand blown glass.
The different crockery comes from various miniature stockists on E-Bay.
Classic Aussie dessert... the lamington, a square of spongecake dipped in melted chocolate and grated coconut. Named after Lord Lamington, Governor of Queensland (1895-1901)
