Dear Florence

Bakery$

Dear Florence, a patisserie helmed by former Aria head pastry chef Aoife Noonan, is like a jewellery store where you can eat the merchandise. Each cake or tart resembles a splendid brooch or sculpture, carved, modelled, shaped and cooked somehow from eggs, flour, fruit, sugar and chocolate.

Must order: The Dream, a cloud-like cake of vanilla sponge and mascarpone mousse, topped with flower petals and a droplet of rosewater gel.
