Verity's Christening - a family celebration

29/9/2015

One of the best things about what we do, is being part of people's special occasions. We were recently invited to cater for a family celebration, for a special little girl's Christening.

This one was extra special though, because Verity is the daughter of my very dear friend Sarah. You might think it's easier/more relaxed when you work with a friend, but I was even more nervous than usual!

As well as our Afternoon Tea spread, I made sure we had a delicious selection of sandwiches for the little people too.

I've had many glowing compliments and reviews over the years, but I was absolutely delighted at just how happy everyone was with the Afternoon Tea. The sun was shining, the bunting looked beautiful, it was a perfect afternoon!

Cream cheese and cucumber, beef and horseradish, ham and English mustard, sausage rolls and cheese straws (and some sneaky jam sandwiches!)

Such a lovely letter :-)

Our vintage and mismatched crockery - tea always tastes better from a cup and saucer

The cake table!

The centre piece for the table was this three layer lemon ombré cake, with buttercream rose swirls

I should have made more jam sandwiches! Intended for the children, I saw a few adults longingly looking at then :-)

Our vintage bunting dressed the driveway, house and garden

It was SCORCHING hot, and this little cutie kept us company in the kitchen, laying right next to the warm Aga
