It’s a lovely tradition in our family to bake some late-spring-early-summer desserts with berries inside. My grandmas on both sides of the family were especially crafty when it came to combining delicious aromas of the berries in their own orchards.
These Berry Tea Cakes bites are a perfect example from my childhood when we would gather around the table to knead the dough and make our own baking masterpieces while a grandma was making a real thing. I so much love to go back the memory lane when it comes to baking in my grandmas’ kitchens. I was fortunate to know both of them well and love them so much.
Have some time together in your kitchen, with your kids, with your friends whom you love and treasure. Postponing only would add anxiety to the feeling unfulfilled.

Those look SO good. I love berry anything – but berry cakes are a winner for sure! I wish I had some right now – all there is in my house is apples today!
As much as I love berries, I don’t think that I’ve had a treat made with blackberries before. I love fruity crumbly desserts like this.
Well if it tastes as good as it looks, and I’m guessing it does, that’s an amazing treat right there. I do love me some crumble cake.
Oh those look scrumptious! I would have never thoughts of adding tea in a recipe other than a drink.
These little cakes look scrumptious! Perfect for any tea party!
That looks so good! I love berries and anything with a crumble topping, so this would be the perfect combination.
Oh these look so good! I wish I had this recipe when my blueberries were coming it.
I’m sure my family would love this if I am going to make it. Yours looks yummy and taste so sweet. This is perfect to me.
Yum! These look so easy and delicious and I bet it would be perfect with a cup of coffee in the mornings! I can’t wait to try out this recipe!
This looks so tasty. The berry flavor in my cake is something I would love.
Awesome recipe. Worth a try for the whole family.
Looks so delicious! I wish I lived in a place that did high tea! It just sounds so sophisticated!
Those look really good. I love that you use fresh berries in it. I am going to save this and make it soon.
Yum! Totally pinning this recipe! I love that it uses real berries instead of jelly! So many recipes like this use jelly and I think that gives things a weird texture. This looks delicious!
Berry Tea Cakes… They sure do look good. I wonder if I can make these using maybe agave. I might just try it and see.
Terry,
You can use anything you want!
Just make sure that the berries or fruit do no produce too much juice. That could be a problem.
But to try it – hei, it may work wonders!
I think agave would be a great fit.
This looks really yummy and so delicious, thanks for the recipe. I need to get back to baking
