August - Blooming Great Tea Party

The meeting house where we usually hold our events was closed for Summer Holidays in August, so we decided to take the opportunity to head outdoors and have a picnic themed meeting. Joy virtuously suggested that we turn this into a Blooming Great Tea Party to raise funds for Marie Curie Cancer Care - so that's exactly what we did!

We all headed over to Churchill College and spent the afternoon drinking tea and lemonade in the glorious sunshine whilst tasting eachother's delicious bakes. And, as we didn't have a room hire charge, and as we'd all invited lots of friend this time we managed to raise a tasty £105.22 for Marie Curie!

So, what did we all bring? What didn't we bring! Catherine baked some Mini Blackberry Bakewells, some Chicken Rolls, some Mini Pizzas and a Coffee Marble Cake, Jen baked an Iced Chocolate Cake and a Banana and Walnut Cake, Lorna baked some mini-quiches and a Walnut and Blueberry Cake, Ruth baked some Thyme Shortbread and a Tomato, Onion and Cheese Roll , I baked some filled Picnic Rolls, some Jammie Dodgers, an Angel Cake and some no-bake Peanut Butter Fudge, and Tom baked some yummy apricot buns!

Smiley, happy bakers and their smiley, happy guests!
