I do love losing myself in touristy stuff at weekends to reconnect with everything London has to offer. Usually I’m just too busy with work and life in general to actually pause for a minute and appreciate the beautiful city I live in.
The Easter weekend was a great chance to finally unwind and get out to visit some of the amazing places London has to offer. Initially we planned a couple of mini trips but sadly we decided to cancel one of them because of the rainy and cold weather. The whole day was just jumping from one taxi to another trying to avoid the rain.
The very first stop of the day was an elegant glass-fronted, pink and white parlour on the corner of Edbury Street in Belgravia packed with little edible works of art, the famous Peggy Porschen Cakes Shop.
Who has not heard about the Peggy Porschen Instagram-worthy bakery as sugary-sweet and pretty as her cakes? You must have seen delicious pink photos popping up like mushrooms all over Instagram featuring amazing cupcakes or slices of delicious multi layered cakes.
It’s a shame that as we arrived it was pouring down with rain and the photography is just not as good as it could have been. I’m definitely planning to go back there in the summer even if it is just to admire the seasonal changing of the exterior display.
The Peggy Porschen company dates back to 2003 (2010 for the Peggy Porschen Parlour in London’s Belgravia). Her cakes not only reflect the life-long love of baking but also celebrate beautiful craftsmanship, inspired by romance, femininity and fashion. They also come with the celebrity seal of approval. Her cookies and cakes have graced many A-list events including parties for Madonna, Sting & Trudie Styler and Gwyneth Paltrow. Both Stella McCartney and Kate Moss chose Porschen to design their wedding cakes, and it was the centrepiece of choice at Elton John’s White Tie & Tiara Ball.
Being the pinkest bakery in London, Peggy Porschen is a bit of an instagram sensation and I wanted to see if it lives up to the expectations.
As we arrived (around brunch time), the place was fairly busy and waitresses in pink shirts were running back and forth, carrying trays loaded with Easter eggs decorated cupcakes and slices of multicoloured cakes, all presented on the cutest pink plates. It was mesmerising watching girls immediately, as their order arrived, starting to take endless pictures of each other holding their cups.
Entering the place made me feel like a princess for the day stepping through the beautiful fairytale pastel pink doors into a world of freshly baked delights.
The candy-coloured, pastel palette of the place is so sweet, pretty and feminine, and it makes everything feel a little more summery and fresh, regardless of the rainy weather outdoors!
The interior of Peggy Porschen is very small which does not help with the queue building up outside.
The first thing you’ll see (as you walk in) is a large cabinet filled with cupcakes, cookies and layered cakes. Exquisite cupcakes and sweet delights are accompanied either by a cup of tea, coffee or a flute of Laurent Perrier Cuveé Rosé Champagne.
Customers can take some of the ingredients for themselves too, with Peggy’s range of homemade jams and marmalades for sale and let’s not forget about the exquisite wedding cakes and delicate sugary confections.
Most of the clients are tourists and instagrammers and it was an experience to see some of them getting into the toilet to get changed and then do actual photoshoot sessions!
The service is very quick and friendly. What’s more important is that it doesn’t feel like you have to rush eating your fabulous cake just because there are people waiting outside.
We happily tucked into a slice of Bunny & Blossoms Layer cake heaven and a strawberry and champagne cupcake.
It’s a truly pink and unique experience so if you get an opportunity, get your camera ready and head to the Instagrammer’s paradise to experience the pretty pastels, sparkling cakes, the artisan teas and the beautiful exterior displays.
The cake shop is conveniently just a stone’s throw from the designer labels off Sloane Square.

It’s about time somebody would write about this café in a blog and thanks dear for it hehe. I saw the façade of this door in Instagram all the time but never the inside. So good of you to snap a table and take a lot of photos. I will remember this shop when I visit hopefully in London.

It’s such a beautiful spot! While I’ve never been I’ve seen so many people going here just to take pics, it’s definitely a popular spot as I’ve seen so much of it even though I’m on the other side of the world here in Australia!
Hope you are having a great weekend! We had a busy one, some Church Online people flew over from the US so the weekend was full of activities 🙂
