Back in the summer, as part of a hen weekend in the wonderful city of York, 5 lovely ladies and I brunched at Bettys tea rooms and cafe. After spending the previous day at York races, we were very excited to go to one of Yorkshire’s finest and fill up on all the yummy wares…

The Pudding Pantry, Nottingham
They say word-of-mouth is one of the best ways to get noticed – and who am I to contest. This lovely new little bakery/coffee shop was recommended by a friend, and now here I am doing the same for you! Situated in Trinity Square, just a minutes’ walk each from the Victoria Centre and Cornerhouse,…
Dad’s 60th Birthday Liquorice Allsorts Cake
You may have guessed from the title, but today is my lovely dad’s 60th birthday. If this doesn’t call for a cake, what does! Liquorice allsorts are one of his all-time favourite things. For as long as I can remember they have been a staple birthday / father’s day / christmas present when stuck for…
Birthday Afternoon Tea Party
Ah yes, the week of my birthday, where, once again, friends and family gather to eat their own body weight in cake. There is a definite theme to all my birthday presents and the respective celebrations at which they are received – cake, cake, and more CAKE! Take for example this amazing 3d patisserie card…
The Walk Cafe Nottingham – Reopened and Reviewed
A few weeks back I learnt that one of my favourite tea rooms in Nottingham had been taken over and reopened – of course I had to go and see for myself! Located on Bridlesmith Walk, the cafe is right in the centre of town, but tucked away in an unassumingly serene little arcade, providing…
Belgian Waffles at the GingerBread Tea Room, Bruges

Afternoon Tea at Perkins Restaurant, Nottingham
Last week, I finally got round to going with a much-promised retirement afternoon tea with my mum (her, not me, sadly!), and decided that one of my favourite restaurants, Perkins in Plumtree, was a perfect fit to start our celebration of her new-found free time. We’ve vowed to go for afternoon tea many more times…
Mrs. Bridges Tea Rooms, Leicester – Review & Blogger Meet Up!
A sunny Saturday afternoon in Leicester, I met up with some fellow Midlands bloggers, all with a great love for cake! A repeat of last years lovely trip to White Rabbit in Nottingham, this year with an extra guest in the form of Liana from Swirls Bakery, who blogs over at My Sugar Coated Life….
Afternoon Tea Review: Tower Restaurant, The National Museum of Scotland, Edinburgh
Last weekend a girl friend and I went for a short break in the beautiful city of Edinburgh. We completely lucked out with the weather – gorgeous clear blue skies and bright sunshine the whole time, perfect for a bit of laziness education on some of the Edinburgh Bus Tours. The Castle and Grassmarket: Views…
Fondant Fancies & Afternoon Tea Party
In case you didn’t hear already, it was MY BIRTHDAY this week! Not that I get at all excited… 😉 I’d decided on an afternoon tea party to celebrate, but what else. After hosting at home last year, this year a very lovely friend offered to hold it ar her house. She told me I…
