These dainty and delicate Pineapple Lavender Tea Cakes are the perfect three-bite treat for a whimsical luncheon or tea party. Sweet pineapple pairs beautifully with a floral hint of lavender and sweetened with a colored Honey Lavender Glaze. These are dairy-free and would be delightful with most any flavor tea. Cute bee themed summer dessert idea.

This recipe for classic Buttercream Frosting is my go-to for decorating cakes and cupcakes. It’s simple, yet delicious and creamy, and also holds it’s shape well when using frosting decorating tips. My variation uses almond extract instead of the usual vanilla flavoring. One reason I like to use pure almond extract is for the clear color. It keeps the frosting a crisp, white color. The flavor of almond extract is also amazing with a sweet, nutty depth.
