Pettite France (French whisky, cream, honey, almond, spiced sable, almond crispy crepes, apricot, mascarpone) from Mad About Sucre’s newly-launched Autumn/Winter cake collection. The nutty and indulgently rich dome was a Tang Wei and Tony Leung-esque filthy romp between roasty, thick and creamy almond nougat and milky, unflinchingly drunken homemade French…
Banana-Bailey from Roots Kitchen & Bar – bread & butter pudding of bananas, walnut, Nutella, and creamy Bailey. The Bailey strides in and pulls you in with its irresistible alcoholic machismo, whilst elsewhere the moist, wet and eggy pudding is two thirds bread and one third goreng pisang. 3.6/5 Roots…

Unlike some other places that proudly boast about their alcohol usage but it turns out more Corinne Bailey Rae than Baileys, the cream here is the real McCoy, immediately confirmable with one taste. Tart…
Tip of the Iceberg – slow-melting vanilla bean gelato iceberg afloat in Baileys and Kahlua soup, crusted with Nutella rocks and nut crunch. When was the last time you drank creamy alcohol from a bowl with a spoon? To misquote a recent sitcom episode: “I am making out with (it)…
