Leap Year Celebrations and a Crazy Cake

I can proudly say this is probably till date my utmost favourite creation in the kitchen. This @katherine_sabbath inspired design consists of four layers of red velvet cake, raspberry buttercream frosting, white chocolate shards, crushed pashmak and gold dusted strawberries. After having posted the below photo on my Instagram, I was pleasantly surprised to discover that Katherine Sabbath had not only liked but also commented on my photo. It would be safe to assume I was grinning from ear to ear for the entirety of the week. For all your courageous souls willing to attempt this cake, let me know how you fare, drop me an email or DM on my Instagram if you have any problems. 

Happy Baking! 

Petal Met Sugar: Foodie Review

I first heard about this cafe through a few instagrammers. Pretty pastel plates all lined up, delicate desserts adorned with flowers and flavours to make your feet tingle with excitement. Welcome to Petal Met Sugar, where floristry collides with edible art on a plate. The best thing about this cafe, aside from the fact that it is only a few minutes walk from the law firm I currently work at, is that it is situated in a quaint part of the city where you won't be overwhelmed by hoards of bloggers on a weekday. It's the perfect, afternoon get together place over refreshing iced tea and sticky, salted caramel tarts. This place is definitely worth a return trip, considering they are about to change their menu with Autumn approaching. Happy dining!
