Review of Laduree

Macaroon Swoon! 
I have a confession - I am totally in LOVE with macaroons and if you appreciate a fine macaroon then this is the only place to get them from.
The shop is swathed in gold and piled high with French delicacies including; cakes, macaroons, sweets and much more. The atmosphere is formal and traditional (as you would expect from The Burlington Arcade) - the service is impeccable. Staff with white gloves serve you your chosen treats and box them up beautifully. I don't think a shop or product could be more stunning and luxurious.
The macaroons themselves are feather light and dreamy in texture. The flavours really set Laduree apart from other macaroon makers, with delicious rarities like orange blossom and rose petal flavours they will have you drooling. They also have a whole range of seasonal flavours that they offer - of the same great quality.
They are expensive a small box of 8 will set you back around £10, but who can put a price on LOVE right?

Review of Daisy Cakes Bake Shop

Cupcakes and Supplies
This little bake shop maybe small in stature but it's mighty in cupcakes and cake baking supplies. Don't miss it though as it is hidden in the lanes that surround Greenwich market and could easily be overlooked.
They sell the loveliest raspberry cupcakes made with fresh raspberries, both on top and in the cake. The sponge is really fluffy and the cream icing is really fresh tasting. My fellow cupcake consumer went for the jammy dodger cake and this involved a lot of jam - which was really yummy also.
The shop is very small and it can get a little busy especially at the weekend. However once inside it is filled with cakes to eat, and supplies to take away and bake with including some really unique cake cases and decorations.
The staff are really friendly and will order things in for you if they do not have it. This place has a really independent feel - where nothing is too much effort. A real treat if you are in the area.
