Cake like a cup of tea



Nothing like a luscious cup of tea after a day of drudgery.........cake  is added bonus.  This cake IS a cup of tea. I made it for a Mad Hatter Tea Party. I just love love love the Mad Hatter from the Looking glass (or Alice in Wonderland).  Johnny Depp was just adorable as this character. “There is a place. Like no place on Earth. A land full of wonder, mystery, and danger! Some say to survive it: You need to be as mad as a hatter. Which luckily I am”.


Sometimes this world seems like a tea party, where we switch places on the table without reason, make short, personal remarks, ask unanswerable riddles and recite nonsensical poetry. Is there a rhyme and reason to anything or are we in this world like a storm in a teacup--- here one day, gone the other?

This stormy teacup is almond cake with almond mousse filling. Yummy with a cuppa --- Unless coffee is more your “cup of tea”….. this cake will taste well with that too. Enjoy!

  3. Pops this is lovely [as usual] and I LOVE what you have written....Great stuff! I too loved Johnny Depp in the role......Always love the concept of Alice...Anything can happen! Be prepared to be surprised, and cope with it. Maybe the right code to live by. And if we get a slice of your cake after, what could be better? Keep 'em coming!

  4. The detail on the cup and saucer make it look so real.
    Coffee is 'my cup of tea' but I can assure you it will taste equally good with coffee as well or maybe better....but it would be a little funny to have a 'cup of tea' with your coffee:)
