Mini Cakes for Afternoon Tea: A Pretty & Perfect Treat. Hello friends, Happy Sunday. So how are you today?
There i just something so comforting about a good afternoon tea, isn’t there?
I love to go out for afternoon tea, whenever we are both off work but also love making tea and treats at home. To eat in the garden.
Whether you’re sitting down with friends or enjoying a quiet moment all to yourself, a pretty little cake (or two!) always makes things feel extra special.
Don’t you think?

So today I’m sharing a few of my favourite mini cake ideas for afternoon tea. Also, perfect for garden parties, birthdays, or simply treating yourself on a Sunday or whenever you have a day off work.
Because honestly, life is too short not to eat cake!
Why Mini Cakes?
Mini cakes are like the fairy tale version of desserts.
Small, sweet, and oh-so-pretty – they bring a bit of magic to your tea table.
Plus, they’re great for sharing (or not sharing… no judgment here).
They’re also the perfect excuse to get creative in the kitchen. With frosting, florals, fresh fruit, and even a dusting of edible glitter if you fancy!
Mini Cake Ideas to Try:
1. A Mini Victoria Sponges.
Firstly, a classic never goes out of style. These are made with soft sponge, a layer of strawberry jam, and whipped cream – topped with a dusting of icing sugar.
Add a fresh berry on top and you’re golden!
2. Vegan Blackberry And Chocolate Cupcakes.
Secondly, satisfy your sweet cravings guilt-free with these Vegan Blackberry and Chocolate Cupcakes.
