Mini Chamomile Cakes with Honey Frosting
This was the quickest photo shoot that has ever taken place in my kitchen.
I take full responsibility. I decided to bake these mini chamomile cakes in the morning hours, the exact hours that everyone began to rustle out of bed. My nieces floated into the kitchen and knew something was up.
They never left. Enter my two girls, little sister and my mom. I grabbed my camera, but it was no use. Piping cups of tea, coffee and cold milk made their to the table all while grabbing my photo subject. No use. I gave up grabbed a cup of tea and enjoyed them with my family. A true sign of success, so please forgive the fuzzy, shaky, off balance shots. A true testament these mini chamomile cakes are worth baking.
Mini cakes infused with chamomile tea are baked until tender. Topped with the dreamiest honey frosting. The frosting is laced with honey adding a delicate sweet touch. Top with a garnish of tea and enjoy with a steamy cup. Even better the next day if there is any left. Enjoy!

Oh goodness these are delightful! You would have never gotten me out of your kitchen 🙂
I’m always torn when people grab for food before I’ve had a chance to take photos. It definitely is a sign of success, and I can’t blame your family for snapping these up before you had a chance. The photos you did post have me drooling.
I love alternative flavours for cake, so this is a must try!

These are the perfect little cakes for a tea party, I’m pinning!
I think your photos look gorgeous! And so do these cakes. Just perfect for a morning treat…love the flavors!
YUM! They look so pretty and I bet they are so yummy! I love the sound of chamomile dessert.
I’m sure Joy would tell you that’s exactly how these cakes should be enjoyed 🙂
Great post!

haha I definitely have those photography moments. And yeah…these really were THAT good!
Chamomile tea always leaves me so relaxed, so I know these little cakes would definitely put me in a Zen state of mind. 😉
so cute and lovely that the family were involved 🙂 and man so funny your mum said the same thing to you!
I guess this recipe was a little too successful. I think the idea of eating these cupcakes for breakfast is brilliant!
I was thinking that it was such a pretty photo then I read that it was your quickest photo shoot ever! So clearly you know what you’re doing since the photo is beautiful. Such gorgeous cakes, too.
Sounds like a successful recipe, for sure. I think your photos looks great, especially the up close one.
It’s no wonder they were gathered in your kitchen. This cupcake looks incredible.
love the chamomile + honey touch to these cupcakes! this is like a tea in a bread!
I think the photos came out great. I knew I could whip up the biscuits much faster than these cakes, so I went with them. Darn. I think I missed out.
Oh, these sound (and look!) delicious! I can see why you had to snap your photos quickly before they disappeared! Have a wonderful weekend~
Thanks for the sweet compliment on my blog…you’re a doll! These look so good…I’m always trying to work on my baking chops. I make myself bake, but it doesn’t come so naturally to me! Have a great weekend…enjoy the beautiful weather!!
i find it completely perfect that your loved ones mill about the kitchen enjoying what you are baking…who needs a photo with all that great imagery!
These cakes sound amazing with chamomile flavor and honey frosting, yum!
Sounds scrumptious! 🙂
So cute! I bet this would work with lavender as well.
These are absolutely gorgeous and the flavors so uniquely refreshing 🙂
I do like Joy!
