Korbo - I could ask my mum for you about the cream horns but I am pretty sure they just grease and flour the horn tins really well. I also have a set but have never made them myself. I always remember getting to the jam at the bottom mmmm... .

Thanks Lulu - yes that is how I remember them too. Our local bakery makes them now and then. I wonder how they got their name?

No valtrin. They were cheese cakes and not a bit of cheese in them! For the cream horns, I used strips of puff pastry and wound them around the well greased horn tins. I still have them and one day will make them again.

Just recently Hospice Waikato had an afternoon tea and fashion parade. They collected 200 bone china trios and a number of tiered cake stands. The napkins were damask and the tea was served in lovely old teapots. There were cucumber sandwiches (of course), tiny lamingtons and tiny scones with jam and cream. My daughter (of the coffee mug era) was quite taken with it all and said she would love to have a garden party.
