• We then headed to the Ampersand Hotel for a Science Afternoon Tea.
  • The hotel was gorgeous and we were seated in The Drawing Rooms decorated with artwork of animals in teacups.
  • We were served tea followed by an impressive cake stand billowing liquid nitrogen ice.
  • When the smoke cleared, we started tucking into our savouries including mini quiches and finger sandwiches.
  • It was then time for the white chocolate chip scones, which we topped with cream, jam, salted caramel sauce from a paint tube and various toppings from test tubes.
  • It was then time for pastries including sesame macaroons, a lychee, raspberry & rose beaker and lemon crescent fondant. The chocolate & mint mousse was my favourite, it was shaped like a planet and served with a chocolate spaceman.
  • At the end of our tea, there a box filled with chocolate soil to dig through to find a mini dinosaur biscuit and chocolate fossil.
