High Tea

Last weekend was not just about baking. It was all about eating as well!

Went to a delicious High Tea at the Sofitel Wentworth as a hen's celebration for my future SIL.

Here's the menu and I must say that I managed to eat nearly everything (bar the plain scone and the smoked salmon - though I ate an extra quiche to make up for it!)

Chocolate Cadeau
A rich dark chocolate mousse, filled with praline and top with macerated strawberries

Macaronades
Macaroons made of soft almond meringue, filled with fresh raspberry cream

Financier
Baked mini hazelnut cake, top with coffee butter icing

Gateau Opéra
Chocolate pastry with layers of almond biscuit, decadent chocolate ganache and coffee butter cream

Lemon Curd Tart
Lemon tart, sweet pastry filled with almond and lemon cream, topped with scorched lemon meringue

Wentworth Cheese Cake
Our original cheese cake recipe since the inceptions of Afternoon Tea at the Wentworth Hotel. A light joconde pastry, layered with cream cheese and finished with seasonal berries

Framboisier
Light genoise sponge layered with raspberry mousse, raspberry jelly and fresh raspberries

Scones Jam and cream
Traditionally baked scones, strawberry jam and fresh whipped cream

Mini Quiche Lorraine

Sandwiches
Smoked salmon, horse radish cream, tiny capers on brioche
Double Brie, quince and wild rocket on baguette
Cucumber, dill and sour cream
Chicken and mayonnaise

Savouries on the bottom rack - they should've had so much more savouries in my opinion! They were my favourite!
