A partnership between Dominique Ansel Bakery and florist Philip Corps will see a transformation of the London bakery in celebration of the Belgravia In Bloom floral festival.
Award-winning florist Philip Corps will transform the Dominique Ansel London bakery into The Secret Garden using plants, material and flowers to recreate a rambling and overgrown entrance to a secret world within.
Bark strips will be used to create the door, moss and succulents will add an overgrown and aged feel, yellow garden roses (both plants and cut) will grow wildly around the door alongside trailing ivy, cow parsley and asparagus fern. Vintage garden props will add to the recreation of the Frances Hodgson Burnett’s classic children’s novel published in 1911.
Through the doorway of The Secret Garden the magic will continue with five bakery items created exclusively for Belgravia In Bloom.
- Elderflower Vanilla Chocolate Éclair
Filled with a whipped vanilla and elderflower ganache, topped with beautiful flowers to finish. - Betty Religieuse
French double-decker cream puff dressed up with bonnet and filled with cassis gelée and violet ganache. - Bee Mine Honey Cheesecake
Light-as-air cheesecake made with fresh cream cheese honey mousse, lavender cream, lemon curd and almond sponge. - Pull-Apart Flower Cookie (pictured)
A beautiful flower made of more than 20 individual hand-made honey rose tuile “petals,” each filled with lychee cream, arranged to resemble a beautiful flower and topped with a dusting of powdered sugar to finish. Pull apart each petal one by one to eat. - Painting the Rose Red
An almond financier cake filled with raspberry jam and covered with a raspberry and pink champagne marshmallow on a rose stem surrounded by velvet layers of white chocolate dipped rose petals.
The Secret Garden floral installation and Belgravia In Bloom cakes will be available from May 22nd – May 29th. Please find full details below and we shall follow with photographs of the floral installation following completion on the morning of May 22nd.
