WELCOME TO MY TEA PARTY UNDER CLOCHES!
I gathered MOST of my cloche collection in the formal dinner table for a tea with a yummy cake I made from: myrecipes.com Pinterest. The recipe is long, but easy and really delicious!
The dishes are Alejandro's favorite pattern that I designed at our past Ceramic Co., inspired in the Ecuadorian indigenous women's embroidered blouses.. and I called this pattern Carnations, as that's what the flower in the original embroidered blouses are. The design in the finials of the cups and saucers, along with the other pieces and plates is what goes in the collar and cuffs of the blouses. A cute basket under a cloche hold the napkins and cake forks.
The "Apple-Cream Cheese Bundt Cake" under my widest cloche. The small cloche comes from a set of four with four tiny spoons I won last year at "Marty's Cloche Party" too and the gift came from dearest "Chie at Chubby and Chieque". I use them with marmalade and butter.
A fresh cheese that we love around here, it's almost like a country cheese. The "Alfajores with Dulce de Leche" filling are totally yummy! I didn't make them, but when I do, I will post a recipe.
The other pastries under the cloche are called, "Quesadillas" and are sweet and filled with cheese, we love them for tea parties, along with the alfajores..they're both Ecuadorian pastries. The teacups are under my tallest cloche.
The blue sherbets are under a medium size cloche ready for a little cool ice-cream too.
Everything is set for tea with cake and pastries..so please come on over!
The silver spoons are in the creamer, under a cloche as well.
The Alfajores with Dulce de Leche filling.
I have some more cloches I haven't used today, but I don't have a wire one..if I can't find one here, I'll have one made one of these days, there are great artisans here in Cuenca.
The tea napkins and cake forks are in the basket under the cloche.
These beautiful teacups are Polish, a gift from my daughter Alexandra last October for my birthday.
All my eggs on ONE CLOCHE...lol..
The fruit bowl with a mother-bird feeding her birdie, is also under a wide cloche. This fruit bowl was also made at our former Ceramic Co., Monte Turi.
In this yellow plate I served a piece of the cake, where you can see pieces of the apples and pecans inside it. |
Thank you lovely hostesses for the wonderful and fun parties I will be joining with my cloches.
Thanks my sweet and wonderful friends for dropping by my place, you know you make my day, EVERY TIME!!

Ohhh...and you know that I love that pattern of dishes that you designed! They're gorgeous! I think it would be great fun to be able to design patterns for dishware, etc.! All of your lovely pastries have my mouth watering...they sound so good! I just have to tell you that I think that doing a tea party under glass is just the neatest and most unique idea! You are such a creative and talented lady, my dear!!!

Well dear friend, I just had to come over to say hello and see how you're doing. I just read your sweet note that you left for me! Thanks so much for coming by! It seems like ages since we have visited. My summer has been so full and I can't seem to find the time for my blogging. I have missed you, dear friend!
Love ya,
Chari
I adore the beautiful way you display your cloches. And the pattern of the dishes you designed is fabulous. Then, of course, you serve us up a beautiful tea party with apple bundt cake! What more could we ask for!?!
ReplyDeleteI love your cloches!!! Thanks so much for linking to the French party on Monday.
ReplyDeleteOh wow, such beautiful desserts, everything looks like a fabulous display in a really expensive sweet shop. Love it all and the Polish pottery is stunning. I get a kick out of all those eggs too. You do have such beautiful cloches. Thanks so much for joining the party. Hugs, Marty

Hi Fabby!
ReplyDeleteI love your cloches especially the tall one with the teacups and the one with the eggs.

OMGOODNESS! You always, always set such a pretty table and this one is no exception. The china you designed is just beautiful. What fun you must have had when you owned that company. I hope you have many, many different sets of the dishes that you designed/made.
ReplyDeleteYour food looks wonderful, too. I would LOVE to be able to sit at your table and enjoy a moment in time with you and experience your culture.
Blessings to you, sweet Fabby- xo Diana
What a wonderful tea party, I love your dishes especially the ruffled cake plate!
ReplyDeleteKaree
Fabby me encantan tus campanas, por aquà creo que nunca se han usado, salvo en los negocios de productos alimenticios para ponerlos al reguardo de moscas o polvo.
ReplyDelete¿Tus alfajores son con la receta argentina? Por supuesto que son muy populares por aquÃ.
Beso y gracias por tu amorosa compañÃa.
Oh my goodness Fabby what beautiful displays you created with your cloches! And the food looks so tasty! Thank you so much for sharing your treasures at my party!
ReplyDeleteFabby, you have quite a collection of cloches! You have used them beautifully for this lovely tea table you have set. I love your carnation china and the meaning behind it. The cake looks so delicious. Have a wonderful week! Blessings, Pamela
ReplyDeleteMa chère Fabby,
ReplyDeleteJe suis très heureuse de pouvoir encore une fois venir te visiter avant mon départ. Je ne rentrerai qu'à la mi-septembre, après mes différentes expositions. Je ne sais pas si l'occasion me permettra de pouvoir me connecter via les blogs entre temps... Mais promis, je ne t'oublierai pas et reviendrai régulièrement admirer tes publications sitôt rentrée.
Pour clore mes visites, je suis comblée avec ces magnifiques photos mettant en valeur l'ensemble de tes jolies cloches.
Je trouve que c'est un peu "la cerise sur le gâteau" que de présenter l'instant agréable du thé de cette manière.
J'ai toujours beaucoup apprécié dans tes précédentes publications de pouvoir apercevoir tes cloches. Elles sont vraiment ravissante et elles ont l'art de mettre en valeur les choses.
Je peux te dire aussi que l'ensemble de tes "gâteries" attise mon regard et je laisse échapper un humm! de "que cela me semble délicieux!"... Alors j'arrive!...
Cette publication est vraiment une merveilleuse publication.
Ma chère Fabby, je ne t'oublie pas. Je reviendrai très vite.
Gros gros bisous.
Lots of great cloches! Even the eggs looked great in a cloche! Beautiful dishes that you designed!
ReplyDeletethese are all beautiful and especially all together! even the tiny ones! lovely!
ReplyDeleteHi Fabby! Your pottery is amazing!And they look even prettier under you cloches. What a lovely tea! I'll have my cake and tea now...please :)

Dearest Fabby,
ReplyDeleteLovely Cloche parade! But I wonder how you remove the one that's over the eggs... would be tricky.
Have a wonderful remainder of the week and indulge on all your yummy bakings.

Fabby, your cloches were such fun to look at! You have such wonderful ideas and pretty things (and food) to put in them! My favorite, though, would be the teacups stacked up on each other under the glass! What a lively thing to behold! I also love the view out of your kitchen nook window of the busy street below!
