This weekend I've treated myself to a cake from my favorite DC bakery, Furins.Chocolate cake with kahlua butter cream frosting and raspberrys -yum!!
Of course 1/2 of the taste is in the presentation! 
So my favorite wedgwood cuckoo pattern was used along with a royal doulton cake platter, wedgwood cobalt jasperware cream & sugar and limoge underplates.

Two teacups! So, I'm glad to see you were sharing the cake - a proper cake, not one of the supermarket travesties. Our fave with tea is fruitcake, home-made - Dundee cake to be precise - and fed with brandy a while before cutting. Here I am at five thirty in the morning wanting cake!
Don't know what I like more: the death-by-chocolate-and-Kahlua cake, or the Wedgwood...
Excellent taste either way, Stefan.

Blue -that sounds delicious! I'm a cook but not a baker -so I tend to buy my desserts. Admittedly, I'm a salty snacker and not a sweet one, so desserts don't happen too often other than ice cream. Once in awhile though I crave a really GOOD cake -i don't waste time on cardboard cakes from the supermarket.
always 2 cups, desserts taste best shared!
Michael -they're both equally good!!
Makes me feel like hoi polloi popping my Belgian chocolates straight from the box while still in my jammies...XXOO
Stefan, Thank you so much!!! I'll be right over!

OOps! Forgot to say I LOVE the way you have combined the various patterns of china. Too stunning!

I know I always say something like this, but it's true - I love a man who not only knows what a cake platter is, but owns one. Beautifully put together Sir!
P.S. its traditional where I'm from, Lancashire, to eat fruitcake with the local cheese which briefly was available at Wholefoods a couple of years back. I'm a salty snacker too, but that combo of real fruit cake and maybe a blue cheese is totally, mouthwateringly, tasty.
Oh gosh, that looks exquisite. You've really pulled together a pretty collection. You're right, it is so much about presentation (but I bet the cake is delicious too!). Wish I lived closer haha and you'd be having a weekend guest for cake more often!

Oh so delicious! Wish I could help partake of that incredible cake!
I completely agree with you! I believe a stunning presentation transforms your mood which can enhance your taste buds making your meal all the more enjoyable and memorable. You created a decadent mood.
Oh - you do know how I wish I were there having a cup of tea (and some salty nuts too!) I love salty things too, but that cake looks scrumptious!

I want to come for tea!
I think that second cup has my name on it. I distinctly see my name on it.
Very nice. Isabella and I made a visit to Panache chocolatier on The Plaza tonight!! Such treats!
I knew you had splendid taste: chocolate and raspberries! I believe it was really the source of seduction in the garden of eden. I wouldn't leave paradise for an apple, but that cake...! Love the china. Did you see Lauren's blue mix at (In)Decorous Taste! Must be that Pennsylvania thing you two share! Happy Weekend.
You certainly know how to set the perfect mood for enjoying a beautiful desert. Somewhat a lost art these times. I am so dying for a piece of chocolate cake now. Thank you for sharing and have a glorious Sunday.
....chocolate and chinoiserie...I am so glad I found you!
Ok you got me...that's too tempting...don't have any chocolate cake but right now I'm going to eat a bunch of the raspberries I picked from my bushes yesterday.
You certainly know how to enjoy the finer moments of life in a beautiful way, proper way.
10 years in DC and I have never heard of Furins. And I have a sweet tooth the size of Rhode Island. I am going to have to check this out.
