Tea and Scones with Ed

Baked goods on our best platters
Each semester at the end of food appreciation classes we normally hold a dinner for the kids and their parents to show off what we’ve been making. This year we decided to add another element–baking–and the question was, how do we show off our stuff.
Thus was “Tea with Ed” born. My wife pulled some of our best platters and put out this display against a periwinkle blue linen. You’d hardly know this was the same multipurpose room.
Some of the items–the banana bread with cocoa nibs, the orange poppy seed bundt cake, the sour cream coffee cake–were actually made by my students and frozen. Others–the dried fruit cream scones, the butter chew cookies–I made fresh for the occasion. Everything turned out tremendously well.
The most popular item–if you happened to notice the empty cake stand in the middle–apparently was the carrot cake with cream cheese frosting we made this week. I guess I was doing my job of maintaining the buffet very well.
I’ll have that carrot cake recipe for you tomorrow.
