Cake Boy pop-up

Master patissier Eric Lanlard is bringing a slice of his Cake Boy boutique to GILT Cocktail Lounge at Jumeirah Carlton Tower from Friday 14 to Saturday 15 December 2012.

The pop-up shop, open from 11am-4pm, will sell a range of treats including Christmas cupcakes, boxes of mini mince pies and Eric’s sumptuous twist on the traditional Christmas cake. “I’m excited to take Cake Boy on the road,” says Eric. “Jumeirah Carlton Tower offers the perfect temporary home, located in the heart of Knightsbridge, and just off one of London’s most exclusive shopping streets.”

The celebrated pastry chef will be personally manning his Cake Boy pop-up on both days and signing copies of his best-selling Home Bake and Tart It Up books. As one of the world’s most renowned patissiers and star of Channel 4’s Baking Mad series, Eric has amassed a global fan base and a dedicated celebrity following.

Sweet-toothed aficionados, who wish to indulge in more than just a few bites, can book themselves a table at Jumeirah Carlton Tower’s Chinoiserie tea room for Eric Lanlard’s “I Love Paris” afternoon tea menu, designed exclusively for hotel guests and visitors to enjoy.

“I Love Paris” afternoon tea costs £40 per person or £45 per person with a glass of champagne, excluding service charge.
