What better way to start your Friday than with our weekly round-up of some of the many sweet treats we’ve eaten this week. Here’s five of our favourites! Clockwise from L-R2. Ate these delicious Delectable Dark Chocolate coated flap jacks from Thomas J Fudge whilst watching the Tour de France Grand Depart after a morning of cycling. Great with a cuppa.
3. Lemon chiffon cake – one of my favourites – from Manna Tearooms in Old Portsmouth. Nice and light with a lovely fresh lemon taste.
4. I enjoyed a coffee in Marks and Spencer’s cafe with a pal after a morning at the gym so we each earned half of this gluten free caramel pecan crunch bar. The base is made from polenta, topped with a layer of sticky caramel, sprinkled with chopped pecan nuts and drizzled with Belgian dark chocolate. Went great with a skinny cappuccino and free tiny biccie.
5. I can’t wait to return to this fantastic pub in West Ashling in the West Sussex countryside. The Richmond Arms is in a beautiful setting with a duck pond nearby. I cycle past this pub regularly and paid them a visit last Friday evening with a couple of friends who also enjoyed their meals. Look out on Monday for the review. Oh, nearly forgot to tell you what this is! Home-made liquorice ice-cream, rose pistachio and Earl Grey flavours which were amazing.
Living life, loving cake
