I’m a real glutton for punishment heading for Biscuiteers to learn how to ice biscuits – on a week when I’m only consuming raw, healthy foods. But, I knew of a small man who couldn’t do rugby training after a bowling incident… involving an even smaller finger…
…so I rescued my Small-Version-of-Him from the freezing pitch side-lines and we headed up to the Biscuiteer boutique, 194 Kensington Park Road, W11 to have some fun.
at Biscuiteers, Westbourne Grove
The shop (they call it a boutique) has an icing café at the back where between 8th – 14th Feb you can ice a Valentine themed biscuit under the guidance of their expert icers.
everything in the shop is exquisitely iced
and artistically merchandised too
Clearly the bandaged finger didn’t get in the way and he and I LOVED creating our edible masterpieces. Not only were the ‘expert icers’ great at guiding us with the vibrant coloured icing, they also made us feel extremely welcome with a hot chocolate and a cup of tea.
we were shown who to ice
with the most amazing colours (in disposable bags)
our collection of ‘masterpieces’ – can you spot the one for Mini?
Just as we were finishing off a familiar face popped by. Juicy Lucy was passing, spotted us and was VERY keen to sit down to have a go too!
Juicy Lucy gets icing too!
… but then can’t wait to eat it!
So here it is – my first tip for our forthcoming heart day.
No need to book. And if you’re feeling lazy, the Biscuiteer icer can do a more professional job.
Price: £15 for 3 biscuits – Do check out their icing video below for some inspiration.
