Vanilla cake layers, strawberry jam in between, vanilla buttercream frosting. And Daisy has a new set of dishes from her grandmother: the much-boasted of (by Daisy) "Charlotte" pattern from Royal Doulton. Just when I thought she couldn't get any fancier.
What a beautiful china pattern! Lucky Daisy! The cake looks amazing Anna! Is the frosting store bought, or did you make it? I'll bet it's delicious!
ReplyDeleteOh how delightful! Both the cake and the china. Does your mom get these dishes as sets, or does she pick them up individually to make a set?
ReplyDeleteThat is such a pretty little plate and what is on it is even better!
ReplyDeleteDaisy has impeccable taste.
ReplyDeleteOh how I wish it were my birthday. What a lovely setting those dishes and that cake have made.
ReplyDeleteThe china is lovely and the cake looks delicious!
ReplyDeleteVery pretty pattern. And the cake looks delicious too!
ReplyDeleteSO yummy and the presentation is divine!
ReplyDeletewow, she had china for all the children? Where did she gather them from? How neat to use them now. Do you have a special place to store them until they are on their own? Cake looks delicioso!

The two went together beautifully!
ReplyDeleteEvery time you post a picture of the new china your mom is giving the children I find a new favorite. That is absolutley lovely!
ReplyDeleteI love her pattern! How lovely! Are you making hope chests for your daughters?
ReplyDeleteMan, oh man - that cake looks so good, I think I'm gonna have to make me one of them! I'm sure the rest of the tribe wouldn't mind...
ReplyDeleteAnna, is there a recipe for this cake somewhere on your blog? It looks like something I'd love to make!
ReplyDeleteSuch a pretty pattern and the cake looks very yummy.
ReplyDeleteHi Anna,
ReplyDeleteI'm the Mommy with 5 little ones that enjoys your blog so. This china is lovely and won't look dated. We use our Royal Doulton Bunnykins china regularly (not daily, but a lot). We enjoy a weekly tea time for our art print study. I'm considering a Portmeirion birds teapot (new) and older bird china teacups (love Felix').
Also, I love reading my daughter Eloise Wilkin's "We Help Mommy"...love Martha and Bobby. You see I've been reading your blog.
No, I don't have much time and your blog is a sweet encouragement to me of excellent and praiseworthy thing. I am so thankful to be home with my family.
