After devouring the most delicious fish and chips I've had in a long time, we wandered just around the corner to a café that couldn't have been more different from the fish and chip shop if it had tried. Brand new with a super cute interior, it looked like it had just fallen off a pinterest board. But one can't quibble when the cake is as good as the stuff they were serving.
Ben went for the "supreme chocolate cake" which was a dense sponge with layers of chocolate buttercream and white chocolate icing in the middle, decorated with sweets and glitter. His words - "delicious, rich and the perfect size". Recently we were at another café where the portions were overwhelming, but this place had it spot on. I was super indulgent and went for a hot chocolate and a chunk of rocky road, stuffed with marshmallows, biscuits and cherries.
The rocky road was fantastic, one of the best I've had. It wasn't, however, something that could be eaten elegantly. I ended up with chocolate all over me!
I really loved this café, it was a change from places I frequent at home, but I think my figure and bank balance are pleased I won't be able to pay it regular visits! The little hearts on top of Ben's cake got me thinking about Valentines day, so look forward to some baking inspiration posts and a recipe or two. But before that, we've got more Newcastle adventures, Liverpool adventures and birthday fun! Being busy is good for blogging. What's been keeping you busy recently?
