Cappuccino and Sticky Ginger Cake

Location: Crabtree & Evelyn Cafe, Stratford-upon-Avon

Date: 6 May 2009

Description: Milky cappuccino with a big cube of ginger cake.

Notes: This cafe is 'award-winning' so Michelle was a little disappointed with her cappuccino and not-very-sticky Sticky Ginger Cake. As a twee 'olde worlde tea shoppe' C&E is probably not used to serving coffee though. Especially since it's so close to Costa and Starbucks.

The ginger cake tasted a bit like Jamaica Ginger Cake but without the heft, the clag and the suspiciously dark colour. Since it was little dry, it could have been spruced up with a drizzle - perhaps some syrup from a stem ginger jar. Or perhaps been served with a dollop of ginger ice-cream.

Still, it came served on a doily. A doily!
