I'm not a big fan of lemon glaze, so I omitted it from the recipe. The tea cake was still delicious, but I think it would have been even better with the glaze.

This tea cake was a bit too sweet for my taste, but it was still very good. I think I might try reducing the amount of sugar next time.

The glaze was a bit too runny for my liking, but the tea cake itself was delicious. I'll definitely be trying this recipe again with a different glaze.
