a mad tea party.

I recently hosted a little tea party to chit-chat with some lovely ladies about a very exciting new project in the works. But more about that later… let’s talk dessert, people! I wanted to create a tableau of cocktails and sweets that were a feast for both the eyes and tastebuds. This is what I came up with: grapefruit martinis, a platter of fresh raspberries and watermelon, saucers of salted caramel and fluffy whipped cream, lavender hot chocolate (recipe here), cloud-like lemon meringue pie, dishes of cherry gelato garnished with berries and fragrant flowers, and lastly, a scattering of little rosebuds and stems of lavender from the garden . . . xoxo

  28. Scrumptious! I can’t imagine that these delights taste would taste even better than they look, but if they do they must be out-of-this-world because they’re so gorgeous! xoxo
