Anna May Wong’s Tea Cakes

Anna Mae Wong
“It’s a pretty sad situation, to be rejected by the Chinese
because I am too American.”
Jennifer has not only posted some fabulous pictures of home movie day here:

but she has also made some Anna May Wong’s Tea Cakes. These are proving to be a hit with most testers but they are not really what we in the UK would expect from tea cakes – no sultanas in these babies. Jennifer proclaimed them to be like vanilla fairy cakes – not sure if that would translate for our USA based chums – but she is right about possibly jooshing them up with some lemon flavoured icing. Nice.

I particularly liked the fact that she took some of these into a work meeting! Love the idea of archivist types over there at the Wellcome Trust sampling some film star fodder!
