Everyone who knows me, knows I love cake. It's a bit of an ongoing thing that whenever there's a dessert on offer, I'll always make room for it. With this in mind, Ben's parents got me a very apt Christmas present... a Cupcake & Macaron Tour in London!
We met our guide along with two other ladies who were booked onto the tour outside Marks & Spencer in Covent Garden. We then spent roughly 2 hours being led around London gorging ourselves on tasters from each of the 5 bakeries we visited. Our guide George filled the time with interesting anecdotes about the areas of London we were in as well as facts about cupcakes and macarons.
During the tour, we visited Laduree, Hummingbird Bakery, Yauatcha, Patisserie Valerie, and Fortnum & Mason's. My favourite cupcake was the red velvet from Hummingbird Bakery and the salted carmel macaron from Asian restaurant Yauatcha was delicious. I didn't manage to eat everything on the way round so the doggy bags came in very handy! This is a great tour for anyone with a sweet tooth but also if you're looking for something slightly different to do in London.
I live in London and had no idea that this tour existed! Definitely sounds like my sort of thing, so I'll be bookmarking this! x

Oh wow how fantastic, they look amazing. I'm looking for a present for my brother and his partner so something similar to this might be nice. Were the cakes you tried included? Amy x
ReplyDeleteYeah, the cakes were included so it's a great gift as not only do you get to explore London but you get at least 5 cakes/macarons!
