Who does not like tea parties? I am sure you’d agree that a cup of tea tastes much better with a dessert. Having gathered my girlfriends at a lovely cafe with an exquisite décor, we decide to order a cup of tea. We sat comfortably at a table by the window, enjoying the glorious sunshine streaming in through glass. Ivory porcelain cups and ornate silver spoons were arranged neatly on the snow-white tablecloth. We wondered: ‘What should we have for dessert? Some plain cakes or some not so plain jewels?’

While in Moscow, I imagined such a tea party together with photographer Kirill Budvejser and culinary stylist Diana Nagornaya. How did our imaginary tea party go? I have some delightful photographs to share with you.
