When Cake meets Fashion

When fashion and cakes are combined, this is how it will look like. At the Fashion Afternoon Tea at the Berkeley Hotel you will get exactly that. Moschino, Jimmy Choo and Matthew Williamson's Collections are a true inspiration for the pastry chefs of the hotel. The small cakes are delicious and so delicate, they are almost too pretty to eat.

Foodie Heaven at Ottolenghi

Hmmmmmmm these cakes do not only look amazing - they taste like heaven. If you feel like cake you have to go to Ottolenghi, who currently has three delis and one proper restaurant called Nopi in London. So if you happen to walk around Notting Hill, Belgravia or Islington pop inside, eat cake or have some healthy salads instead. It is a London Essential that you should not miss out on.

Afternoon Tea @ The Berkeley, Caramel Room, London

Eine Hand voll Sachen sind für Engländer lebensnotwendig. Dazu gehört der 5 o'clock Tea, den die Briten jeden mittag einnehmen. Ich persönlich brauche für Tee keine Uhrzeit. Doch einen echten britischen Afternoon Tea wollte ich mir nicht entgehen lassen. Nur Schwarztee mit Scones war mir jedoch zu langweilig, deshalb musste es der Fashion Afternoon Tea namens "Prèt-â-Portea" im The Berkeley Hotel sein.

DAILY SCHMANKERL : Keine Posts mehr seit Freitag! Der Grund?

Am Wochenende hatte ich Geburtstag und ich habe mir mal drei Tage Blogverbot erteilt. Es war schwer, aber ich habe es geschafft. Ich habe nicht einmal die Klicks gecheckt. Nun bin ich wieder am Start und City Freude wird wieder daily aktiv sein. Pausen gibt es keine mehr - versprochen! Diese Woche sind schöne Posts geplant - seid gespannt. Unter anderem Impressionen vom Prèt-â-Portea, der Fashion Afternoon Tea im The Berkeley Hotel in London. Das war ein Erlebnis, das ich Fashionistas und Kuchenliebhabern dringend ans Herz lege.

Lieben Gruss
