Cake Me Baby (Shepherd's Bush)

• Bakery combines the best of French patisserie with North American cake craft
• You go for afternoon tea because it is a special occasion or as a special treat
• I must admit I was feeling a tad indecisive about it
• Obviously because most of you are aware by now that I prefer the healthier approach when it comes to eating these days
• I was most impressed when she started to explain to me about each individual sweet that I was going to get my greedy little mitts on
• Al's background is heavily influenced by French style baking and she has worked in some top Michelin star restaurants such as Alain Ducasse at The Dorchester
• Obviously we all know how amazing the French are when it comes to making those delicate cakes/pastries
• You cant argue the fact that they are the best in the world
• I also found out that some of her cakes are gluten and diary free and I was lucky enough to try a sugar free cake
• The menu has also been combined with North American influences and as you read further on you will find out more about this
• Bought out on a hand crafted piece of wood I was presented with an assortment of bespoke creations and damn they looked extremely edible
• Vanilla and white chocolate cake pop basically a lollipop with a cake on the end of it
• I actually thought these were blueberries at first but no I was wrong
• The last cake or should I say biscuit was definitely my favourite of the bunch
• Its called the Snickerdoodle and im told is a very popular treat back in the US
• Its basically a butter biscuit with cinnamon sugar
• I guess you could say that this is one of those moments where you absolutely should not judge a book by its cover
• Most of them you could tell were regular customers or people who live in the surrounding area which of course is always so nice to see
• In the shop was a lovely lady who happened to be the Store manager Chloe and kindly let me know what was on offer
• Such a unique little place that I must recommend it to people who are looking for places that are off the beaten track
