These tea cakes were a bit dry and crumbly. I think I overbaked them.

I had a bit of trouble getting the tea cakes to rise properly. I'm not sure if I did something wrong, or if it's just a tricky recipe.

These tea cakes are a bit too sweet for my taste, but they were still enjoyable. I think I'll try reducing the amount of sugar next time.

These tea cakes are the perfect combination of sweet and savory. I love the way the sugar coating contrasts with the tangy lemon glaze.
