RED, WHITE and BLUE ~ Afternoon Tea
Red, White and Blue are the national colors of the United States of America, representing above all else a hard-fought freedom for Democracy. In that afternoon, teas were used as a catalyst to raise funds for the Suffrage movement to grant women the right to vote, celebrate with an afternoon tea theme for the Fourth of July holiday or a get out the vote party!
Not a baker, not to worry. Any store bought cake can be enhanced with a topping of rosewater infused whipped cream and fresh raspberries or berries of choice.
