My only question is... is the topping sickly? It looks quite a lot! I made some this weekend with white chocolate ganache on which was delicious and not at all sickly.

The banana toffee is a MUST.<br /><br />The location is not that odd, basically it's on the exclusive shopping street of upmarket Belgravia. It's another matter that grim Victoria Station happens to be next door. You need to approach it from Sloane St Station to really see how lovely the location is.edithnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8808076487605477930.post-38246957041985327902011-01-18T20:46:59.514+00:002011-01-18T20:46:59.514+00:00@Manny -thank you for taking me to the Parlour, it...@Manny -thank you for taking me to the Parlour, it really was fabulous.

I would have lived in that shop had it been there then. I have a Peggy book and I really enjoy both looking through it and trying out different things.

I don't think I've ever had a nicer chocolate cupcake than that (except the ones Anne makes, obviously!) and the black forest one was brilliant too!

I've still not made her cupcakes (I am a bad baker) but plan to do them next weekend! <br />We live near the Elephant and Castle and I agree with you it's grim, and Upper St too - but there's something about Victoria Coach station - especially as it's so expensive to live round there!<br /><br />@Samantha - the whole shop is a cake lovers dream.
