Nutcracker tea

I had the Nutcracker this evening! And beforehand I had a Nutcracker tea, for which I was going to make scones, except I was missing one of the ingredients and did not feel like battling the snowstorm to drive over to the store. So instead I walked to the bakery and bought cupcakes. The chocolate-orange cupcakes were a big hit!



And the Nutcracker was splendid. I always think it's too bad they don't have a photo opportunity after the show, because of all the beautiful costumes: the peppermint costumes were particularly stunning, and it's just too bad that I can't share it with you all.
