Candy Cakes

For cupcakes that look like they’re on steroids, head to this little café off The Seven Dials and indulge in a wild variety of flavours topped with rainbow icing and a piece of novelty candy.

Bea’s of Bloomsbury

The majority of cakes in this boutique bakery are layered, and served American style (massive). Try the German chocolate cake - a layered chocolate cake with chocolate ganache and dulce de leche, or the piled up strawberry cupcake.

Cake Boy

If this started as a childhood taunt for master patissier Eric Lanlard, it’s become more of a calling card, with cake-maker at Madge & Guy’s wedding on his resume. Cake boy’s ‘cake lounge’ is great if you want a piece of the action.

  • Wine Chap's Wine Tips: Truffles & a Tutonic Tipple?

    Fresh from the first ever German Premier Grand Cru tasting, as hosted by the infamous folks at The Wine Barn, it seemed apt that the Wine Chap should bring you this Teutonic special to whet your Euro-friendly palate…

  • Steaking A Claim

    I was a vegetarian once. It was a dark time, filled with lentils, tofu, and things that grew out of the ground as if of their own volition. Then steak found me.

  • What's for Supper: Keepin' it Raw

    For carnivores seeking a quality protein high - there can be no better way to enjoy meat than in its purest, unadulterated form. Yes.. that means raw.

     

  • Ethiopian Kitfo

    Ethiopian food has to be one of the most under-rated cuisines. Made up of tangy, spiced  lentil and chicken stews served on a delicious sourdough crepe called ‘injera’, it is one of my absolute favourites.

     

  • Beef Carpaccio with Horseradish Crème Fraiche

    This is a lovely way to make carpaccio and would make a delicious first course for Sunday lunch. The lemon oil adds a really nice flavour and any leftovers can be drizzled over over roast fish or pasta tossed with artichokes and peas.
