Almost everyone loves the visual impact of 'Cup Cakes', but why are they often so disappointing to eat? After all, its basically a sponge base with a dollop of sticky overflavoured badly coloured butter icing. Here at home we always opt for a more traditional, delicious homemade cake - surely what could be a nicer treat than a slice of cake served with freshly brewed tea in pretty vintage china. Pure nostalgic escapism in these strange economic times we find ourseleves in! The photo is 'Lemon cake' served with Lapsang Souchong bought from Mariage Frères on a recent trip to Paris.
