What about setting up and design your own dessert table and hold a mini afternoon tea party to host your guest and love ones? You can use your creativity, lovely crockery, favorite color theme, nice cake holder or even props to decorate your dessert table. The feeling is great to enjoy afternoon tea at home or at friends or family place at a cosy lazy afternoon. You can make cupcakes, scones, sandwiches and yes I have make some strawberry jams to go along with my home bake scones. It is definitely much cheaper to enjoy home bakes.
