This afternoon, I was delighted to be at my first tea party ever, barely knowing what it was. But let’s just say that I’ve become an overnight tea party fan. Ladies, tea parties are a good time and I’d insist that you round up your best girls and make it happen. Tea and sugar have taken over my insides and I’m pretty sure that I can sleep into a sugar coma tonight. A friend of mine is a phenomenal, PHENOMENAL baker and has opened up her cozy condo in Toronto for this enthralling tea party with myself and four other beautiful souls. It was six hours of quality catch-up time while sipping on delicious Toasty Almond & Cherry Rose tea and munching on fatally tasty, mouthwatering, and super pretty cookies, mini sandwiches, and scones (so pretty that it hurts to eat them), all with the sunlight pouring in from the glass windows and perfectly onto the dining table where we sat.
This woman not only bakes delicious pastries but she can make it all look flawless and simply spectacular. So spectacular that you don’t even want to touch them no matter how hungry you are because it’s just so perfect. I’m 100% about aesthetics and how things look. Everything else is secondary. If you win my eyes, you’ve won my heart. I love all forms of art and this is one that was brought to light when I first laid eyes on her baked goods that looked like they came right out of an elite baking magazine. It’s not just in the taste but in the presentation of the goods and how they have to be arranged in a way that screams beauty, much like flower arrangements. Everyone can bake but not everyone can bake like awesome. What great talent!
