Sunny London...

With all the shiny weather lately I've been out and about in London, me and my Ma decided to get off the tube in Islington and look for somewhere cakey to stop off, couldn't find many places at first - just cutesy restaurants like The Breakfast Club and S&M (Sausage and Mash) but after a little searching we found the Europhorium Bakery, Upper Street, Islington www.euphoriumbakery.com. They've been around for quite a long time and sell everything from breads and pastries to cakes and tarts, they make most of their produce on site and also sell to other places.

 I was a bit gutted that they didn't have the stuff to make the vanilla frappe I  wanted, but the chocolate one was still good, cake-wise I picked the swiss roll and Ma went for the carrot cake and we swapped half way through. The swiss roll was the best, made with fresh cream, jam, fresh fruit and topped with a chocolate coated strawberry it was gooood, the carrot cake was a bit dry and crumbly but it meant well.
