Lisaw and I are headed off to London for the day on Friday in search of the perfect cupcake.

We're going to pretend that we're dead posh and go to the posh department stores.

we'll obviously be doing a trippie- with photos but
Can y'all convince Lisa that i'll take nice photos of her :yes:

London? Shops? Cake? This Friday? :sigh: Have fun... No really, enjoy yourselves. Don't worry about me. Here. In Dorset. Not in London. At the shops. Looking at stuff. Feeling the quality of the leather. :sigh:

Oh & Lisa - please smile for the camera. You look gorgeous!

You've got to try the macaroons at Laduree! The caramel and the rose ones are fantastic!

Maisie still can't do long car journeys without a bucket on her lap!

Poor Maisie.

macaroons aren't fattening either as they are only made from egg white and almonds :lol:

Britchick

was it mega expensive Claire? do macaroons have coconut in them?

Britchick
24-02-2009, 06:55 PM

No coconut, just almonds (http://www.laduree.fr/public_en/produits/macarons_accueil.htm). So light that Lisa could be right about them being nonfattening. If I remember correctly they were about £11 or so for a box of 10 but you could have as many or as little as you wanted. Check out that site for the flavours.

Cupcakes are the new 'thing' here - they are everywhere, but yes really we have had them for years and they were always called fairycakes, although the cupcakes now are much more lavish than the fairy cakes we were taught to make as children :yes:
