Pop on the kettle and invite your family and friends around for a relaxing morning or afternoon, surrounded with beautiful cakes, slices, muffins and other sweet treats. Our morning and afternoon tea recipes are simple and delicious, like our sweet pecan pie, or homemade chocolate fudge. And it isn’t a morning or afternoon tea unless there’s a batch of freshly baked scones on the table.
Whatever you choose, these tea time recipes are perfect with a cuppa!
Sweet morning tea ideas
When friends drop around for a cuppa, it’s nice to welcome them with a home-baked little something. A plate of still-warm scones or pastry treats will always hit the spot. Watch them disappear while you chat, laugh and solve the world’s problems.
This collection of morning and afternoon tea recipes contains a selection of sweet sentimental favourites to accompany that freshly brewed pot of tea or coffee.

Our baking traditions
There’s something about baking that brings joy and comfort to each of us. The aroma alone wafting from the oven can be enough to transport you back to your grandmother’s kitchen. The whole family would gather around the table, devouring her legendary scones with homemade raspberry jam, cinnamon tea cake and shortbread biscuits.
There is great satisfaction in making your own food and sharing it with others. We make cakes and other baked treats to celebrate special occasions, family events and to give as gifts. Favourite recipes become family traditions. These shared experiences capture the essence of Australia’s collective spirit and, over time, become part of our nation’s culinary landscape. As the custodians of this rich history, we as cooks and bakers are responsible for passing on our treasured recipes, moments and stories to future generations.
