After an glorious 15km run and then a wander round some galleries Sunday was spent enjoy all the FOOD from Franze and Evans! I discovered this little place when walking back from a trip to Columbia Road Flower Market! So, the salads look incredible, the tarts extremely tasty but let’s cut to it – the cakes are AMAZING!
Awesome creations like courgette cake, croissant cake and of course chocolate bomb cake?!? Now personally I was desparate to try the courgette cake but my partner in cake crime was drooling over the cherry chocolate cake and well I have to admit she made a fantastic choice! Firstly the slab was bigger than my face(WINNING) and then secondly the chocolate cake was perfect! Not too dry, not too sickly and then all the cream instead of icing! I don’t think it will be long before I’m back … you have to make sure the other cakes taste as good right ?

So I got given one of these bars from a fellow Spartan as they are proud sponsors of the races and well thought it would be the best idea to try them as part of my breakfast before “The Beast”! As it states on the website these bars are made up of real food offering a “fast energy boost”, easy to eat on the go. They are free from wheat, artificial colourings, preservatives and flavours and well if you like flapjack MY GOSH these are good, particularly as you can taste the honey and butter!! So so so so GOOD plus full of those incredible chia seeds ;D! These bars are absolutely perfect pre endurance and I was lucky enough to pick up a couple more after the race! I will definitely be keeping them for my next long run and will definitely not be sharing them ;D

Instead of listing my three favourite tracks this week I thought I would give a little shout out to the awesome man that is Ronnie Herel. Ronnie has kindly put together a little R&B mixtape for us over on Mixcloud so go on, treat your ears to some serious R&B classics!

After watching the awesome GBBO on European Cake Week I discovered my new, potentially all time favourite, cake! Ladies and gentleman I introduce you to Princess Cake.
Layers of whipped cream, sponge, creme patisserie, jam, more sponge, more creme patisserie and then a layer of marzipan icing this, for me, is heaven! So of course the next day I googled places in London that served such a thing and then asked (I didn’t really need to ask ;D) Lissy to join me in sampling!
OH MY!!!! I have already put in the request that this be my birthday cake!
On a side note we tried it at Bageriet, Covent Garden! A gorgeous little Swedish bakery which I would definitely recommend for cinnamon rolls, rye bread and of course Princess cake!!!

Within a lovely goodie bag from the wonderful Fashercise Launch I was lucky enough to find one of these little protein packed balls of yumminess. A few weeks it got me through an interesting run at 4am so I thought it was only right I mention them here!! Bearing in mind I had had 50mins sleep max, irregular food the day before oh, and already run 18miles, munching on this before my next 6miles worked perfectly! These little balls are high in protein, high in fibre, gluten free and come in eight different flavours! They are perfectly travel size, caused me no stomach issues whatsoever (I sometimes find these things are very heavy on the tummy) and well really tasty! They are also quite dense and so it took me some time to munch through, perfect because it felt like it was lots of food = WINNING

Ice cream!
I know that this is seriously vague but whilst on holiday Lissy, Harriet and I enjoyed a different ice cream every day and well, I just forgot how much I love ice cream! I definitely am a fan of a good crispy wafer and then a mountain of ice cream on too so cornettos are always my first choice, however in Valencia it appeared that there was an abundance of ice cream shops so I had to try a variety of flavours ;D! Top of the list … coconut!!!

Some of the best £4 I think I have ever spent!
