The Acre Substack Dinner Party | June
It's berry season – let's eat cake
I am loving settling into this community on Substack. There are so many brilliant creators, and I am being inspired everyday to create, cook or learn something new.
Each month I will pull together my curation of what I am loving into a themed dinner party, with tableware and additional ideas to round it out. This is going to be so fun to see how these evolve over the year. Pour yourself a glass of wine and join me at The Acre Substack Dinner Party June.
Setting the Table
Hello June, how we have missed you. The harvests begin to churn out of the garden, one ripe red berry at a time. With strawberry season well underway and other fruits beginning to make their appearance, I find myself drawn to cakes mounded high with garden’s bounty. From simple loaf cakes to more elegant stacks of layers, I began liking and bookmarking every cake that crossed my Substack feed. So, at this dinner party, we will eat cake.
This gathering is a post dinner affair, guests come over at eight or so, cakes set out inviting friends to cut their own slice. Small cups of espresso balance the sweetness, as well as bowls of fresh fruit to mound on your chosen slice. This evening is for reclining, enjoying slow bites of decadent cake, laughing until your sides ache as you catch up on life and soak in the joy of sugar, flour, cream and berries.
