At Home in Mitford Book Review Teaparty
This week we hosted our first Book Review - At Home in Mitford by Jan Karon. What a delightful time we had sharing together our thoughts and relishing in the sweetness of this wonderful book. We all deemed it a classic as it is a book you can read over and over again. One of our guests said, "Oh, I loved visiting Mitford again..." If you haven't had a chance to read this series, we would highly recommend it!!
The book review included a buffet tea - here is a sampling of the menu:
A Picnic in Baxter ParkAugust 2010
The Rector’s Artichoke Dip and Crackers
Mitford’s Fresh Fruit With Dip and Cheese Bites
Cynthia’s Chicken Salad Croissant
Puny’s Lemon Yogurt Bread and Spread
Dooley’s Gingersnap Cookies
Esther’s Marmalade Cake
Follow Your Heart Sugar Cookies
Of course, we had to try out Esther's famous Marmalade Cake...I was a little intimidated by this cake...you know how it is, when you don't plan on taking something somewhere, it always turns out, but when you NEED your baked item to turn out, sometimes it doesn't! That was my biggest fear with the cake...and "would it taste good?" Well, the answer was "YES, it tasted fantastic!!" and despite our worries...it turned out beautiful.
Hope you enjoy the pictures...perhaps you will join us again in the future for another Book Review Tea Party!!
I really love this theme for a theme party. I had wondered about the Orange Marmalade cake. Your cake looks gorgeous!
