blissful sunday evenings

...just finished my 'to do' list for next week, made myself a pot of tea and sat (feet up) with the new Country Living magazine, house finally in silence...bliss pure bliss....If your gathering of ideas for your big day is based around the english ritual of cake and tea making, cabbage roses, chinaware and gingham, you may want to take a little purchase of this months CL magazine (June) edition. Yes ladies, (and gents) I'm talking home made 'fondant fancies' - if the photo doesn't seduce you the recipe will......loving the simplicity of the rose petals and cotton flower. Could be a fabulous idea to replace the more traditional idea of a favour. Give each guest a little tea plate with a selection of your freshly baked goods. (of course, of course, you will have much more glamourous things to do the evening before your wedding - but I am sure you have an army of friends and family who would get all messed up for the pure love of artistry in the kitchen...for little ol' moi).... can feel my sweet tooth calling...
