To celebrate the relaunch of their range of their sugars for baking and the Golden Syrup sugar (that’s right, sugar made from Lyle’s Golden Syrup!) they took over a town house in Soho and commissioned 14 bakers to create edible treats to fill each room. Every room was a celebration of a particular sugar, highlighting the importance of using the right sugar for the right baking. Tasting notes and menus and “Eat Me” signs provided helpful clues for the experience. It was very difficult to spoil the beauty of these creations by biting into them…. But I managed! I never thought I would get down on my knees and eat from the floor. But when it’s a delightful chewy meringue rug, who can resist? It took more than 2,000 hours to bake and another 900 to decorate every piece, using more than 600kg of sugar. That’s a LOT of sugar. Whilst it might all seem a little frivolous, it is fun and I think we all need more fun in our lives. Tonight one lucky person who tweets @welovebaking with why they want to stay in this #cakehotel will sleep overnight in this tasty house. Perhaps there will be an undamaged cushion to bite into for a midnight snack… Inside the real egg shells was more cake! Mardi Gras cake The head is a cake!
