Tasty food
I love sweet things. I eat them all the time. After taking one bite of a cupcake, I could tell that it was made of pure sugar. I couldn't taste any flavour. One of the few times that I craved a piece of fruit or veg. Probably won't be returning soon - would be great to see my blood sugar levels drop to normal.
Nicest cookies we’ve ever had!! The M&M one especially. Also got a “blondie” (I think) which was absolutely delicious. The white hot chocolate is gorgeous too, of course along with the cupcakes. Great bakery, staff are so lovely and the decor inside is quite nice too! No complaints!
Thank you so much for the stunning cookies! Not only did they look amazing, but they tasted incredible too. They were the perfect treat for such a special occasion!
