Company Magazine #StyleBloggerAwards - A fab night and a huge thank you!

Last night The Afternoon Tea Club ventured to London to attend one of the hottest events in the blogging calendar - Company's Style Blogger Awards!

Situated in the city's bohemian Shoreditch area, it was Champagne and glamour all the way at the super trendy (and super secluded!) Corbett Place venue. 

Throughout the night we met some lovely people and it was lovely to hear about all of the different nominees' blogs. Be sure to take a look at our new friends: 

quirkylifestyle.com, liveitloveitmakeit.blogspot.co.uk and lwofficial.blogspot.com. 

We had a fantastic time and there were lots of exciting things going on all around. We had so much fun crafting personalised sunglasses with Pinned it! Made it! and trying out gorgeous lashes with The Vintage Cosmetic Company. Plus we got to show all of this off in the Dream Booth - very bloggy indeed!

Congratulations to all of the award winners. Unfortunately we didn't win Best Blogging Duo this year but a huge thank you must go to all who voted for us - it really does mean the world to know so many of you love the blog!

But we didn't leave empty handed - check out the fantastic goodie bag we received packed with beauty products, sweeties and of course the latest issue of Company. We could definitely get used to this!

Don't forget! We're running for Best Food Blog in the Cosmo Blog Awards too. If you like what we do we would love for you to vote for us. Find out how here.

Afternoon Tea News: Coronation Afternoon Tea - London Hilton on Park Lane

Enjoy a right royal tea's up this summer at the Hilton, Park Lane, London

As self confessed cake-lovers and part time royal fangirls, we can't think of anything more perfect (or British) than a Coronation themed afternoon tea - So join us in our excitement as we present to you the Park Lane Hilton's brand new Afternoon Tea extravoganza!

Here's a little of what you can expect:

Guests can raise a toast to The Queen’s Coronation, celebrating 60 years since she was officially crowned Queen of the Commonwealth, with a  regal Coronation Afternoon Tea at London Hilton on Park Lane. Located on Park Lane and overlooking Hyde Park, the landmark hotel is only a stone’s throw from Buckingham Palace, making it an ideal location to celebrate the coronation weekend.

To commemorate this historic event, Podium Restaurant at London Hilton on Park Lane has created a limited edition Coronation Afternoon Tea. Created by Executive Chef, Anthony Marshall, this delicious variation of the hotel’s celebrated afternoon tea includes an elderflower jelly diamond presented on a purple cushion made of chocolate mousse and praline; a vanilla and blueberry macaroon; a dark chocolate edible picture frame encasing an image of Her Majesty’s coronation; a 1953 Queen’s Coronation stamp on a cupcake; a crown-shaped sable biscuit iced with the royal colours and a blueberry cupcake finished with gold leaves.

Now we don't know about you, but we think that sounds pretty marvellous - especially the edible Chocolate Mousse and Praline. What do you think? Will you be toasting her Majesty with a glass of bubbly and blueberry macaroon? Let us know your thoughts in the comment section below or at @TeacupReview!

The Coronation Afternoon Tea is available from 11 – 14 July 2013, from 2:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. daily, priced at £32 per person or £40 including a glass of Champagne.
