Sketch - the return - 20 April 2013

So, i took my friend Karin to Sketch back in March as part of her birthday present and i was slightly disappointed with the experience and the quality of the pastries.
I got an email asking me to review the afternoon tea and i basically wrote down what i thought was good and not so good. To my surprise i then got an email from the manager who was concerned about the feedback and he invited us to come back again and have a complimentary glass of champagne & cake.
Nice to know that feedback actually gets read. I booked us in to go and claim our champers & cake following our lunch at Asia de Cuba earlier in the day.
On arrival we asked to be seated in "The Parlour" which is situated on the ground floor and is much more intimate than the Gallery where we were last time.
The staff had been informed about our complimentary booking and handled everything perfectly. We had some lovely chilled champagne, cappuchino and a choice of cake from the display.
I went for "London to Paris" which was a Pate a choux filled with praline cream, caramelised hazelnuts and a vanilla whipped cream. Light and lovely.  Karin went for a very decadent "Gateaux Chocolate" a lovely chocolate sponge cake filled with layers of chocolate mouse, coconut mousse and passion fruit ganache.. rich and lovely. So if you are ever out and about around Regent/Oxford street - pop in to Sketch to top up your enery levels and rest your shopping weary legs. All cakes are £5.50 a pop.
