Having a passion for reading and following some fantastically written blogs as well as blogging myself about my own food and cake exploits over the last year or so, I am always finding myself talking to people about the world of blogging when getting into conversations about most things lately!  And so …. The Secluded Tea Party’s  first ever BLOGFEST  ….. has been dreamt up and is finally ready to go! Saturda

The Secluded Midnight Feast was hosted at my very own Tea Party mansion in sunny Cambourne in Cambridgeshire, an Afternoon Tea with a unique difference… It was held in the evening, as (believe it or not!) a midnight feast tea party. With the permission of the fabulous Angel Adoree of The Vintage Patisserie in London, she allowed me to bake some of her stunning recipes from her new book, simply titled “The Vintage Tea Party Boo
