The air is crisp (and slightly damp) and now is the perfect time to start trying out all those delicious autumnal treats.
This easy peasy toffee apple recipe is fun to make as a gift or with the children.
From the larder you will need:
Method:
Line a baking tray with non stick baking paper and insert the lolly sticks to the base of the apples (approx half way)
Over a gentle heat warm the water and add the sugar, add the butter and syrup and bring to the boil.
You will see the consistency change to a thick and dark caramel (if you have a sugar thermometer the temperature should be approx 140c)
Remove the pan from the heat and carefully dip each apple into the pan until completely covered – this is now a good time to add any extras to decorate such as dried fruit,nuts,sprinkles or even popping candy!
Place the apples onto your tray and leave to set (overnight is best)
Children should be supervised during the making of these.
This is Tea in the City’s very first Halloween and to celebrate we are doing a Limited Edition range of spooky cupcakes available in boxes of 6′s and 12′s!
From black Madagascan vanilla sponge to scrumptious black buttercream icing topped with fondant ghosts,pumpkins and spiders to triple chocolate sponge with spiders and eyeballs!!
A perfect spooky treat for the office,party,children or clients.
Limited spaces available, to avoid dissipointment email elo@teainthecity.co.uk

I just wanted to share with you a lovely email I recieved last night from a bride to be.
On Saturday 18th August I set up a tea party at Elizabeth Armitage photography for a hen party.
The setting couldnt have been lovelier, the room was dressed beautifully and vanilla scent wafted through the air – (all tres romantic!!!)
Having a tea party whilst having a fun photo shoot with your girls has to be one of the best ways to spend your hen day.
Below are a few of the images from the tea set up, I hope to be able to share with you further images from the day shortly.
