Chocolate worked into pale pink sponges, decorated by Japanese printed cocktail umbrellas will imitate a “cherry blossom viewing in the garden” on the cake pedestal, perfect for any Foodies Instagram feed.
The sweets to be offered are inspired by cherry blossoms when they are in full bloom and will include a cream cheese pudding with a subtle aroma of sakura, and a fluffy pink sakura roll cake. Savoury snacks made of soybeans and rapeseed will complete the spring season afternoon tea collection.
