Sakura (Cherry Blossom) Jelly

The combination of freshness and beauty signifies the arrival of spring.

Who knew wine glasses can be used this way?

 It's cherry blossom season here at the Northwest - though Vancouver is quite far from Japan in distance but the similar latitudes have provided a nice environment for these beautiful flowers to blossom.

Bacon, Swiss and Green Onion Mini Quiches

Taste better than they look

These little quiches actually turned out to be a lot more popular than I thought they would be.
As I only had a day to prepare everything for a full high tea, I sometime take "shortcuts" in preparation.
The fillings can be made a day ahead, and just drop the freshly cut onions and cooked bacon bits inside before you bake.
and mini tart shells - one of the best inventions of mankind.

Pumpkin Raisin Scones

 A great scone for multiple occasions- breakfast, afternoon tea...

light on flavour (so you can eat these with jam/seasoned butter of your choice!) and not overly dry.
