How ADOREable is this high tea shoot


So this story starts with a message from Sharnel Dollar asking me if I would like to help her out on a shoot she was doing for Adore magazine.

Come on you guys know what my answer was even without seeing all the gorgeous pictures on this page. Sharnel Dollar Designs Styling + Naomi V Photography + a host of other amazing providers is always going to = a gorgeous result.


Yup I jumped at the chance.

Now I can only take credit here for making the macarons, scones and melting moments, and the recipes for the scones and melting moments are courtesy of Sharnel Dollar. But I am very proud and excited to have helped out at all.

Oh and any of you readers from the US who might want to try out the scone (biscuit) recipe - lemonade is what we call clear soda...7 up would be a suitable replacement, and it is a super easy recipe. Really, really easy fast scones.


Check out the whole high tea fit for a Queen (starting page 96)  including the recipes by clicking on this link.

In fact check out the whole magazine - it's online and free and has some gorgeous stuff in it.

  3. Wow how exciting! It all looks amazing, such a pretty setup. Your macs look perfect. I remember asking for a lemonade while I was in New York, what I got was very different to what I was expecting.

  8. I just tried the macaron recipe out of Adore yesterday and had my first macaron success! (Third attempt). Have been looking at your blog for ideas of other flavours to try - next stop chocolate!
    Keep up the great work and thanks for sharing.
