A Summertime Afternoon Tea

Miniature strawberry pies, sporting a coif of whipped cream and mint, huddle on a china plate beside a basket of fresh strawberries and two cups of tea.

Miniature Strawberry Pies

“I have only to break into the tightness of a strawberry, and I see summer—its dust and lowering skies.”
—Toni Morrison

Our tea party culminates with the presentation of dessert. Miniature Strawberry Pies are sure to elicit gasps of delight, and guests will be even happier to learn that they are invited to take more than one. Sample this indulgence alongside other equally precious seasonal gifts such as unhurried hours of leisure whiled away beneath a canopy of leafy branches.
