Afternoon Tea Cakes
Looking for afternoon tea ideas? We’ve put together our ultimate afternoon tea recipe collection to help you create the most delicious menu line up. From the most British of teatime treats, the scone, to recipes altogether more fancy – like lemon macaroons to adorn your cake stand, and strawberry and raspberry eclairs made from delicate choux pastry. Afternoon tea was introduced in 1840 by the seventh Duchess of Bedford, to break up the long gap between lunch and dinner. One of the key features is a pot of tea, to enjoy with your cakes and sandwiches – so don’t forget to stock up on loose leaf or tea bags to accompany your afternoon tea party.
