our sweet high tea

Hi sweet girls and boys (yes, we actually have more than 1 boy in the club now!),

Watching Alice in Wonderland at the moment, how fitting. I think that ALL attendees experienced a very merry un-birthday at our 'mad tea party' last Thursday.

Our high tea was brilliant and turned out much better than expected. I received comments from members of Campus Experience and MUSRA about how beautifully decorated everything was. And it's all thanks to both old and new Sweets who helped to set up our cake stands, tables, tea and toys.

Rosie (above) spoke on behalf of Tea 4 Toys and couldn't believe the amount of toys we ended up bringing. We each made a huge effort considering that we're all uni students. Some members bought new toys while others let go of their previously loved toys. Tea 4 Toys is such an active charity who guarantee that our toys will go to very deserving families.

On the food side of things we had jam tarts, pavlova pots, fancy brownies, red velvet cupcakes, cucumber sandwiches and plenty more. Wipe that drool off your keyboard! Thank you to all those who baked. All the new Sweets were really impressed with our 'standard' (haha) and some even asked for both recipes and lessons from us. A special shout out to Millie, one of our newest Sweets, for baking blueberry muffins even though we told her she didn't have to bake(: We love keen beans.

We also did a short presentation introducing the founding committee members including the president and treasurer. Michelle also spoke about why she chose the Children's Food Organisation Foundation for our next bake sale! And now we all can't wait to get our BAKE ON for next Thursday.

Lastly, I'd like to say that I'm so proud of how far Sweets by Sweets has come since we first established ourselves last year. From just 4 members running bake sales to 55 likes on Facebook and so many people rostering their time for next week... it makes me feel all gooey inside. Thanks again everyone for sharing in our committment of baking so that other's can have a sweeter life!


Sincerely,

Stephy.
