Sugar Junction - Cakes for all Occasions
 
Afternoon Tea The History of Afternoon Tea In the 1840s, the British habitually ate just twice a day: Breakfast and Dinner in the evening. Anna Russell, the 7th Duchess of Bedford, complained of ‘having that sinking feeling’ as the afternoon wore on, and had the bright idea of enjoying a pot of tea, becoming a popular beverage at that time, in the afternoon, accompanied by a light snack. Tiring of taking tea alone, she began to invite friends to join her for a cup of tea and afternoon snack at her country home, Woburn Abbey. Once the summer season was over and she returned to London, she’d grown so fond of her teatime ritual that she saw no reason to stop. The idea caught on with other society hostesses and before you could say ‘Polly put the kettle on’, she’d started a trend. All our cakes are freshly made by our owners Sue & Cheryl who have a passion for baking using only the finest ingredients.
