A table set with elegance..

Cleaning out my glass house I brushed a winged insect into the dirt…. salvaged him/her, photographed - quite nice - a magpie moth, I found.
Then it was Book Club down the coast to a member’s home. She has an unbelievable Airedale dog with ADHD, a husband who is always in the garage, but she is with a great kitchen talent!
Three good things:
1. She also does wonderful egg sandwiches.
2. Some very interesting books were discussed - one about Churchill. One can’t help feeling sad about that family!
3. People have such different lives and we are so thankful about our relaxed one! (except for the occasional hair raising experience!)

@cdonohoue No - it was done with a Company that specialises in this, Cathy and you buy it!

[Beryl Lloyd]

Such a classy table and a scrumptious looking cake -- love the beautifully laundered tablecloth and the silver !

[Maggiemae]

@beryl and there was a vase of yellow freesias there as well as the silver teapot you can just see!

[Allison Williams]

I'd like to try that cake!

[Helen Jane]

[Bep]

Impressive cake and surounds.

[Maggiemae]

@gijsje Crikey, you will be popular! I'm afraid when its my turn I just buy sausage rolls and custard squares!

[FBailey]

What a spread - I'm hungry!

[Francoise]

this could be an ad for a catering company! very nicely arranged

[gloria jones]

What a scrumptious capture...with great lighting on that treat :).

[Maggiemae]

@seattlite I actually used a flash, Gloria and thinking about that it was a good idea - inside and not much light. But it didn't reflect!

[Babs]

Oh this looks delicious, I bet it didn't last long.

[Lou Ann]

Very very nice setting. The cake looks so good!

[Maggiemae]

@onewing It was a huge cake and as most of us carry extra weight, we didn't have big pieces! There was at least half the cake left for her husband who wouldn't say no!

[Maggiemae]

@louannwarren The icing was ganache - real chocolate mixed with cream! Oh, the calories!

[Judith Johnson]

This looks yummy!

[~*~ Jo ~*~]

[Maggiemae]

@adayinmallacoota Doesn't it mean that presentation is better than the actual -- in cuisine it is - you can't taste the picture in photos!

[katy]

You chose the perfect compensation for this photo. It shows off the elegance nicely. The cake looks as if it were delicious. The occasional hair-raising experience is what makes you appreciate your relaxed life even more.

[Kerri]

Awesome shot

[Ann H. LeFevre]

Goodness that looks delicious!

[Nadiya Bilovodenko]
