Rochelle Adonis posted a Facebook call out crying for cumquats in exchange for cake! I have a healthy waxy tree with branches full of these sour little suckers. I almost felt a little giddy about this arrangement. I bartered a bag of cumquats for a carrot cake with super sweet citrus cream icing and a decadent orange and chocolate buttermilk cake. Contra is king.
Just when you think you are quite the hostess swanning about in the kitchen drenching your friends' senses with afternoon delights. Enter Rochelle Adonis, her gorgeous Head Chef and their take on how to High Tea. Your cooking confidence stands up, smiles nervously and runs out the front door without a backward's glance at the cake fridge. I am not going to give too much away as if you love to entertain, cook or enjoy the sweeter things in life you should get down to one of her classes. I took my little sister Ness for her birthday and shared the experience with my friend from work and her daughter.
They take you right back to basics and teach you how to do things the right way (the Rochelle way). It is all about perfecting the simple things. What makes the perfect cucumber sandwich - really good squishy white bread! How to make the best cupcake frosting - by adding the sugar syrup with patience and devotion. The trick to light and airy scones - be gentle, no need to knead.

I love that you can bring bubbles. It just gives it that rosy edge. We nibbled during class and were mesmerised by our plate of other worldly delights at the end washing it down with Seventh Duchess tea. We walked away with gorgeous recipes, confidence restored and a new found obsession with finger limes.
Happy 20th birthday to my littlest sister, Vanessa! I am treating Ness to a high tea masterclass at Rochelle Adonis. Ooooh I love presents such as these. It's nice to move away from dust collectors.
My beautiful friend Holly has such a sweet tooth so for her 30th birthday I treated her to a dessert degustation at Rochelle Adonis. So on a lovely Saturday night we took a few bottles of champagne and indulged in the sweet, sugary and surprisingly savoury dessert degustation. It was truly a gorgeous experience and I would highly recommend you gather up the girls lots of bubbles and book a table.
I love Sundays with my mummy. She works so hard and its her day off so we often try and go somewhere spesh for something yum. Rochelle Adonis seemed the perfect choice. Visiting her chic yet homely studio actually makes me want to be a better person. I want to buy a floral apron and bake pretty things.
