Decor: Dining Settees
I love the idea of a settee paired with a table.
Either a settee in the dining area or a table at hand in the parlour.

Battenberg Cake
History at Wikipedia
Recipe by Bron Marshall (prepare more apricot jam though!)
This turned out to be much tastier than I imagined it to be.
I wonder how a lemon-y cake would taste.
Also, I would recommend weighing the batter. I ended up with more pink than white cake!
