I did not feel particularly hungry this afternoon, so I went to the Crabtree & Evelyn Tea House for a piece of cake. The place were mainly used as product showcase, rather than tearoom during the weekdays I guess. The staff said they would usually have more tables and chairs later the day at tea time. The cake fridge displayed four different kinds of cake, which each and everyone of them looked appetising. My attention was drawn to the two pieces of chocolate fudge cake on the left top corner. T

The cake fridge displayed four different kinds of cake, which each and everyone of them looked appetising. My attention was drawn to the two pieces of chocolate fudge cake on the left top corner. The staff seems not to know what the cakes were and had to confirm with someone else each time I asked a question. She did not even know the name of the chocolate cake that I was having...Despite the lack of knowledge, the staff was actually very nice.
The chocolate cake was packed really nicely in a floral paper box and was put into the Crabtree shopping bag. A set of plastic fork and spoon was packed alongside the box. There was a plastic wrapping along the side of the cake and also presented this awkward expiry date stamp too.
The chocolate cake was layered in sponge cakes and chocolate fudge. The fudge layer on top was extremely smooth and creamy. It melt on your palate and slid down your throat gently. The texture of the chocolate cake layer wasn't as soft but still matched with the fudge layer perfectly. The piece of cake was overall not too sweet, so each spoon was deliciously indulging.
