My mother used to always say 'It's bad luck not to eat something sweet on your birthday', which really made for the perfect excuse to drag my visiting friends out for a little tea party. Not that they had any objections. All they had to do was take one look at the batch of freshly baked chocolate brioche and pot of Early Grey {done just right} and they were quick to join me in my addiction. I'm starting to think living a hop and a skip away from one of Brighton's coziest and best bakeries, Treacle & Co. , could be slightly dangerous... in fact Cocoon is starting to turn into the tea & cake blog {sigh}. What's a girl to do, the English are truly masters of baking and making a lovely pot of tea... plus it was my birthday {like a month ago}. Alright, I know, I need to diversify AND start thinking about that bikini I need to get into in two weeks.
