The tea was a blend of Assam with some orange flowers, it was delicate and flavorful. The cake was dark and fruity with a thick sweet layer of white royal icing and pink and white sugared almonds scattered over the very pretty china.
This week with all things Royal Wedding, I was invited to a tea party by the makers of the china loved by Queen Victoria, Herend. Herend has been associated with European royal families since Queen Victoria placed her first order for a dinner service at The Great Exhibition of London in 1851
This very pretty tea set with flowers and butterflies with a gold border has been in production ever since the order was placed by royalty in 1851, it hasn't changed only updating the colors. Made from fine porcelain china, hand painted and the butterfly handles still formed by hand.
Another pattern in fine china, I think I would like to have my Darjeeling in this cup each morning
This is the limited edition Royal Wedding Tea Set by Herend in celebration of William and Kate.
Pink and white rose tea cup, this would make any celebration a treat, with cake and sugared almonds on a table with pink linen and some roses in a crystal vase.
PS, my son and daughter are named William and Kate.
