Here at Euphorium Bakery, as one of the caterers to the event, we are very excited about the upcoming theatrical spectacular that is BABEL. It promises to be one the most talked about events of 2012, a theatrical experience of truly epic proportions...

A spectacular outdoor show created especially for Caledonian Park, BABEL will feature a cast of 300 and combines storytelling, live music, massed choirs and state-of-the-art visual effects. This modern reworking of the story celebrates what it means to be part of our truly global community, and the world city that is London.
 
BABEL is brought to life through a uniquely creative partnership between WildWorks and Battersea Arts Centre. Renowned for large scale spectacular performances, WILDWORKS makes evocative landscape theatre, while the multi-award winning Battersea Arts Centre is well known as one of London’s most inventive theatres.

12 performances only, 8 – 20 May.

To book tickets call 020 7223 2223 or babellondon.com and start your journey to BABEL now and join us on Facebook and Twitter.

Euphorium Bakery love the history of the Simnel Cake:

Simnel cake is a light fruit cake, covered in marzipan, then toasted and eaten during Easter. A layer of marzipan is also baked into the middle of the cake. On the top of the cake, around the edge, are eleven marzipan balls said to represent the true disciples of Jesus; Judas is omitted.

The word Simnel comes from the Latin word Simila which means fine wheaten flour, from which the cake was traditionally made.

Order one now along with all your other Easter Bakery treats...

8" round Simnel Cake / £22 / will feed approximately 12 people

WE ALSO LOVE THE NATURAL INGREDIENTS

Flour, Butter, Brown sugar, Eggs, Cinnamon, Orange and Lemon peel, Raisins, Currants and of course, Marzipan.

Why not treat her to a heart shaped white or dark chocolate Marquis or fruitful Fraiser with a "Happy Mother's Day" message (available on the day for £28). Or even a personalised message if you order in advance. 

Just call in at one of our 7 stores and ask a member of staff to show you our beautiful printed portfolio with full colour photos and a helpful size chart. Or call your local branch to order by phone. (click for branch contact numbers)

The following excerpt is from a poem written by one of our customers who visited the Belsize Park Euphorium Bakery several times over Christmas whilst staying in London with her son. She has promised to include it in her next poetry book, which will be sold to raise money for her local hospital. We'll blog again when it is published...

Euphoria

I find shelter from the wind and rain

In the Euphorium bakery and cafe

Of London's Belsize park

Tempted by captivating cakes

Tantalising apple tarts

The smell of freshly baked artisan bread

An iconic warm croissant with melted butter

Enticed me in here today

I order a cup of coffee

Served with a large dash of charm and style

By an eastern European called Elena

I wish she had time to tell me her story
