Vanilla cake layers, strawberry jam in between, vanilla buttercream frosting. And Daisy has a new set of dishes from her grandmother: the much-boasted of (by Daisy) "Charlotte" pattern from Royal Doulton. Just when I thought she couldn't get any fancier.
wow, she had china for all the children? Where did she gather them from? How neat to use them now. Do you have a special place to store them until they are on their own? Cake looks delicioso! Christina
Hi Anna, I'm the Mommy with 5 little ones that enjoys your blog so. This china is lovely and won't look dated. We use our Royal Doulton Bunnykins china regularly (not daily, but a lot). We enjoy a weekly tea time for our art print study. I'm considering a Portmeirion birds teapot (new) and older bird china teacups (love Felix').
Also, I love reading my daughter Eloise Wilkin's "We Help Mommy"...love Martha and Bobby. You see I've been reading your blog.
No, I don't have much time and your blog is a sweet encouragement to me of excellent and praiseworthy thing. I am so thankful to be home with my family. Mary Brooke
I am an evangelical Christian. I have two daughters whom I homeschool: Bella (15), and Daisy (8), and three older children: Giles (21), a college graduate, Felix (19), a college junior, and Clara (17), a college freshman. I'm 42 years old and happily married to my Dear Composer. We live in a 1920's school converted into a home, outside of town. And God is good.
Feel free to Pin my photos, but please link back to the page you found them on.
Photography
Photography is an important part of life at my house. Photos that appear here are taken by Giles, by the Composer, and by me. Giles is a real, paid photographer, and he uses a Sony Alpha. Most of the photography prior to September 2008 is his. Since then I have done most of the shooting and I use a Konica Minolta. Additionally, the Composer offers me nice shots on occasion, often from his little Canon point and shoot. I've given up trying to note who's done what. Thanks for your interest!

What a beautiful china pattern! Lucky Daisy! The cake looks amazing Anna! Is the frosting store bought, or did you make it? I'll bet it's delicious!
Oh how delightful! Both the cake and the china. Does your mom get these dishes as sets, or does she pick them up individually to make a set?
That is such a pretty little plate and what is on it is even better!
Daisy has impeccable taste.
Oh how I wish it were my birthday. What a lovely setting those dishes and that cake have made.
The china is lovely and the cake looks delicious!

Every time you post a picture of the new china your mom is giving the children I find a new favorite. That is absolutley lovely!
I love her pattern! How lovely! Are you making hope chests for your daughters?
Man, oh man - that cake looks so good, I think I'm gonna have to make me one of them! I'm sure the rest of the tribe wouldn't mind...
Anna, is there a recipe for this cake somewhere on your blog? It looks like something I'd love to make!
Such a pretty pattern and the cake looks very yummy.
