Tea Cakes are not on my diet - no way! But when I started this diet I told myself that my commitment only went so far. If there was something I was really craving, I'd just do it and then start anew. Today I made tea cakes so tomorrow, I start anew! There were more. I shared some with the mail lady and gave some to a friend. These taste great - some of the best tea cakes I've made. The ...
