I was in one of those girly moods today. I started thinking about when I used to have a tea party almost every day with my daughter Isabelle when she was a little girl. She had a miniature silver tea pot and a collection of espresso cups that were the perfect size for tea (actually, apple juice). It is a very precious memory for me, and I hope she will look back on it fondly when she is an adult. My favorite little cup had a chintz pattern on it - I am insane for chintz. I am also insane for roses. I grow them, buy them in the winter time, and even gave my daughter the middle name Rose.
So I made some delicate vanilla petit fours and drizzled them with two coats of powdered sugar glaze.
And if that wasn't good enough, I covered the tops in tiny yellow and pink roses made with Swiss meringue buttercream. The only thing better than one is, of course, three.
Excuse me now, its time for afternoon tea.
