Mini Chamomile Cakes with Honey Frosting

 

This was the quickest photo shoot that has ever taken place in my kitchen.

 

I take full responsibility.ย  I decided to bake these mini chamomile cakes in the morning hours, the exact hours that everyone began to rustle out of bed. ย 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. ย A true sign of success, so please forgive the fuzzy, shaky, off balance shots. ย ย A true testament these mini chamomile cakes are worth baking.

 

 

Mini cakes infused with chamomile tea are baked until tender.ย  Topped with the dreamiest honey frosting.ย  The frosting is laced with honey adding a delicate sweet touch.ย  Top with a garnish of tea and enjoy with a steamy cup. Even better the next day if there is any left. Enjoy!

    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!

    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.

    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.
