The Price of Love (in Cake)

Choccywoccydoodah's 'I Love Cake' will feed 1,000 and costs £4,500.  Their new London store and cafe off Carnaby Street is fairly amazing to look at.  They  have a second series on the Good Food Channel starting tomorrow, Tuesday 8th May.

Attractive handmade glass cake and cup cake stands on sale at The Savoy's afternoon tea 'shop' in the foyer.  Pretty good value at £25 and £18 given afternoon tea is now £40 a head and their silver teapot is on sale online at £305.

Cake Break

Great homemade cakes, on old workshop table, at Salvation Jane cafe in the City.  Sister cafe to Lantana and as they say "a little bit of Australia in Shoreditch".

On the subject of cake, may I wish the MS Society all the best with their Cake Break 2012 charity event today - read about it at http://www.mssociety.org.uk/ms-events/2012/05/cake-break

God Save The Cream

One of the more extraordinary 'boutique' ice cream shops, located in Covent Garden, is a testament to how marketing can get you noticed.  Baby GooGoo breast milk vice cream alongside the more restrained Jubilee Strawberry.  Retailers are going jubilee crazy - do you have a promotion that catches the eye?
Would you have guessed this is an absinthe 'drip' for their Sex Pistols dessert.
