Friday Afternoon Coffee Cake

This brings back fond memories! When I was in Grade 7 it was standard practice for my classmates to have coffee and cake at my house on a Friday afternoon. The news spread quickly through my class and it was not long before I was entertaining not just my mates but the entire class!
