Cake in Latvia

In my previous post I wrote about my visit to Riga in Latvia.

I remember one evening, just after a magnificent organ

concert in the cathedral, we went out for tea and cake.

The cakes tasted as good as they looked, and I thought

they were so prettily arranged on the blue and white china.

In the bottom picture you can see a glass of the famous

local liqueur, Balsam, which is drunk frequently.
