♥ Tea on Tuesday: Blackberry-Almond Tea Cakes ♥
Ingredients:
1/2 cup (1/4 lb.) butter, at room temperature
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1 package (7 oz.) almond paste
2 teaspoons freshly grated orange zest
2 large eggs
1 cup all-purpose flour
2 cups fresh blackberries
Powdered sugar
Preparation:
1. Preheat oven to 350°. In a bowl, combine butter, granulated sugar, almond paste, and orange zest. With a mixer on high speed, beat until mixture is blended, about 2 minutes. Add eggs and beat until fluffy, 1 or 2 minutes. Add flour, stir to mix, then increase speed and beat until well blended. Batter will be thick.
2. Fill a pan of 12 buttered or paper-lined muffin cups (1/2-cup capacity) about 2/3 full with batter. With a small flexible spatula, spread batter smooth. Arrange a few blackberries on top of batter in each cup; lightly press berries into batter.
3. Bake until cakes are golden brown, 25 to 30 minutes. Cool in pan about 5 minutes. Serve dusted with powdered sugar.
Yield: Makes 12 cakes

♥ Gather ye rosebuds while ye may ♥
I was going through some pictures I took earlier in the year and came across these beautiful roses! These were taken at the Gatlinburg Inn in Gatlinburg TN. They have the most beautiful roses gardens and the security guard was kind enough to let us take pictures on their premises. The fragrance was intoxicating! I don't know what kind of roses they are, but I really would love to find out. Sometimes roses are pretty but have only a faint fragrance. Not these! Beautiful and heavenly! Hope you have a wonderful week!

♥ New Earrings in my Etsy Shoppe ♥
I enjoy making jewelry in addition to my teaballs and infusers. :) I think these would be perfect for afternoon tea! Ok, maybe I'm a bit biased. LOL. But these are some of my new "pretties" in my Etsy Shoppe. Hope you have a wonderful weekend!
