This website celebrates one of the most well-matched pairings in the culinary world:
Tea and cake.
It really is as simple as that.
I hope you will keep coming back to enjoy news, features, reviews, how-to’s, recipes and much more.
A bit about the author
My name is Maria and I set up this site because I love a good cup of tea with a slice of cake. I’ve yet to find a cake I don’t like and I’m working on the tea; Earl Grey has got some work to do to impress me.
I’m a journalist in Kent, England and my interests are varied. They range from cooking to travel, astronomy, photography, celebrity gossip and nail art. I also like weird and wonderful news stories (which I made a dedicated website for).

Thanks very much Michelle. What picture is that? I can’t remember. I hope it’s ok to use it anyway
The tea cup at the top of your tea and cake blog and no worries!

Hi Maria.
Just wanted to let you know that I have nominated your blog for an award that I also have been nominated for (The REALITY Blog Award). I did this because I respect the quality of your writing, your professionalism and maybe just a teensy weensy little bit because I frickin’ lurve tea and cake! Seriously though, I do enjoy both your content and the concept, which inspired me to nominate you for the award. Here is the link below:-

I’d like to propose a toast, to the things that matter to us the most
Tea and cake are the perfect pairing, like Bonnie & Clyde but more caring!

Hi David,
Thank you so much for this! Ironically I’ve been a very bad blogger recently due to work commitments and haven’t got round to blogging in ages. Anyway, I really appreciate the nomination. Hopefully it’ll spur on my motivation somewhat!
You’re welcome Maria. It’s not how much you do but the quality of what you do that counts and I still stand by my nomination, although quantity is always nice, particularly when tea and cake are involved
