afternoon tea by quietpurplehaze

afternoon tea

I met a friend for tea in Wickham, and yes, this was mine, and yes, I ate it all.

Victoria sponge must have been named after a certain monarch, I guess.
I think cake shots may be your 'bike shots' Hazel - and they always look scrummy!

Looks delicious. You started me wondering about its origin too and I found this on Google. http://whatscookingamerica.net/History/Cakes/VictoriaSponge.htm

Yum! Great close-up. I've always wondered what a Victoria sponge looked like. The characters in the book I just finished were always having some.

Very interesting, thank you, Babs! Osborne House on the Isle of Wight is quite near to us. (I can also get that sinking feeling but mine is usually around 5 o'clock!)
