Ever since the infamous cupcake scene in Sex and the City, we've ooh'd and aah'd over the cutesy creations. But how to consume such confectionary-coated cakes without doing irreparable damage to our waistlines?
Well fret no more. Petit Pois cakes have achieved the impossible! Due to launch in Selfridges this week the company, led by Harry Eastwood of How To Cook Yourself Thin fame, have created baked bliss using vegetables instead of butter. The cakes contain beetroot, pumpkin or courgette and are gluten and lactose free- perfect for even the most sensitive snacker.Even better, the blissful buns contain half the amount of sugar found in a normal cupcake and only the thinnest glaze of icing.
Topped with a marzipan pea (just to remind you how virtuous you're being)Harry and her team include only the best free range eggs (no sad chickens here), real vanilla and 70% cocoa chocolate. Flavours available include lemon, chocolate, vanilla and orange. Available from March 15th, at £5 per box of two this is no budget bakery, but at this time of year we all deserve a treat.....
Lent just got a little bit easier.....
