Unfortunately I haven't been as attentive to my poor blog than I would like to be recently. I have my first NCTJ shorthand exam in two days and duty calls! I still haven't made a single recipe from the cookery books I got for Christmas.
I found this gem by chance whilst on work experience at the Worthing Herald last week. Since then I have not stopped talking about it!
I was walking down Montague street and saw a vintage bicycle tied to a lampost next to a sign about the Parklife Cafe. How could I not pop in after such a curious way of advertising.
Serving amazing cupcakes and milkshake/smoothies this cafe reminds me of a mixture of ShakeAway and Angel Food Bakery in Brighton (more about the latter later).
They also sell delicious paninis, sandwiches and another favourite of mine, bagels. I recommend the ham and cream cheese toasted bagel.
But back to the cakes!
They are stunning! See for yourself...
I love Halloween so I adored the giant orange cake! Unfortunately I couldn't buy it due to lack of funds and the fact that I would eat it in a day quite easily... so I settled for a delicious orange butter icing cupcake decorated with chocolate eye balls. The icing was fabulously rich and I had a green version the next day.
If you have no other reason to go to Worthing (and let's be honest, there probably isn't except for the new H&M), go for the Parklife Cafe! Then join the Facebook page afterwards.
Find it at: Bath Place, Worthing.
