The Berkeley London has styled a perfectly plated Prêt-à-Portea with a fashionista twist. Inspired by the themes and colours of the fashion world; this unique afternoon tea experience is transformed every six months to follow the changing season’s fashion trends.
In addition to a selection of loose-leaf teas and a mouth-watering sample of miniature skewers, taster spoons and elegant canapés; the Spring/Summer 2009 collection at the Berkley is currently showing:
~ A Lavin duo of blueberry and passion fruit mousse with flowing bright yellow meringue,
~ Balmain almond macaroon jacket filled with white chocolate and pistachio ganache,
~ Hervé Léger vivid orange bikini biscuit with his signature criss-cross banding,
~ Alexander McQueen ‘Elvie’ chocolate truffle tote wrapped in mint flavoured marzipan,
~ Christian Louboutin coconut cream sponge cake shoe topped with a metallic frill,
~ Christopher Kane clementine bavaroise with signature over-sized circles of pate de fruit,
~ Oscar de la Renta black and white belted chocolate dress cookie,
~ Josh Goot blocked dress of strawberry pannacotta and mango crème topped with kiwi marshmallows,
~ And the Michael Kors red and blue striped Regatta dress cake made of rich Valrhona chocolate; all served on fine-bone china designed by Paul Smith.
