Anna Mae Wong's Tea Cakes


It was "cherry roulette" in the office today as I experimented with glace cherries on the top of my AMW tea cakes last night. They sank to the bottom so I didn't put any on the second batch. The cakes all disappeared in double quick time so they were definitely a hit. I received several emails from folks either exhalted or dejected about the discovery (or not) of cherries. The big boss is still dubious about "recipes by dead people" but they looked so cute in my retro dot baking cases that even he couldn't resist!

I kept two aside as it's my second date with the New Yorker tonight. Wonder what he will make of them...

Good luck with the date--and the tea cakes sound very tasty!

Just screened Golddiggers of 1933--it made me think of you for some reason--that silver screen glamour and wit. As we were also discussing newsreels, I mentioned your book in class.
