"Konditor is a nostalgic cake shop that’s been around since 1993. Their signature cake is the Curly Whirly—a dark chocolate sponge with vanilla frosting—but our favourite is the vegan chocolate raspberry velvet cake. The moist chocolate sponge has layers of tangy raspberry and tastes like a raspberry Mini Roll for grown-ups. Their weekday-only Gray’s Inn shop is our favourite because it has a couple of outdoor tables where you can perch with your cake." - heidi lauth beasley, jake missing, rianne shlebak, daisy meager, sinead cranna
