CAKES 67 CAKEMAKER Q&A Q What’s your favourite area of London and why? A “I’d have to stick to Greenwich Park. There is so much history in the surrounding area, and it also houses the Royal Observatory where couples could get a great picture straddling the Meridian line.” – Yvonne, Yviescupkakes. CONTACTS: Bea’s of Bloomsbury , beas.london | Konditor , konditor.co.uk | Paxton & Whitfield , paxtonandwhitfield.co.uk | Rosalind Miller Cakes , rosalindmillercakes.com | Yviescupkakes , yviescupkakes.com ▲ “For me, this area screams lemon chiffon cake, a classic flavour with a citrus lift representing Greenwich’s historic naval history and Greenwich Park. A sweet combination of classic design and natural flavours.” – Gerhard, Konditor “I love the Greenwich cake from our collection. I’m such a fan of all the colours and textures. It can be tailored to any colour scheme and would look stunning in a neutral colour palette.” – Sarah, Bea’s of Bloomsbury With its distinctly naval name, this cheese charming cheese tower from Paxton & Whitfield, made from five British cheeses, couldn’t be more apt for a Greenwich big day. ▲ “I got engaged in Greenwich Park’s beautiful rose garden and attended university there as a mature student; it was here that I decided to pursue my dreams and start Yviescupkakes. I think the garden has influenced my love for roses, which inspires my designs.” – Yvonne Platt, Yviescupkakes. “Our Painted Hall cake was created for and inspired by the Painted Hall at the Old Royal Naval College in Greenwich, which has recently been restored. Autumn is our favourite time to go to Greenwich park and walk around the market, so we’d opt for an autumnal flavour like carrot, ginger and walnut.” – Rosalind, Rosalind Miller Cakes G R E E N W I C H With its strong naval tradition and World Heritage status, Greenwich has all the ingredients for elegance ▲ ▲
