A Piece of Cape: Sweet, sweet biscuit!

Although it’s difficult to believe, our time is coming to a close. While we are excited to get home and see all of our family and friends, we cannot believe we have to say goodbye to this beautiful city. We all plan on returning at some point, but the uncertainty of how long it will be has us begging for more time. With our days numbered we have each one mapped out to the minute so as to make the most of our remaining moments. That being said, high on our list of priorities (other than obviously celebrating the WORLD CUP) was attending the Old Biscuit Mill. We arrived around 11 a.m. and proceeded to eat and drink the place out of food and beverages…. Okay, not quite, but it sure felt like it! We sampled cinnamon buns, vegetable wraps, rare rump sandwiches, butternut paella, lattes, macaroons, double flat whites and finished the day with strawberries in champagne.

We each left with a respective desert that included (pictured below): carrot cake with cream cheese frosting surrounded by dark chocolate chunks and topped with caramelized almonds, vanilla cake with raspberry frosting topped with fresh, real raspberries and finally the mother of all tarts topped with every fruit under the sun. While the day was cloudy (we took it as an ominous goodbye or see you later, rather) our afternoon ended on a wonderfully SWEET (once again, see desert descriptions) note. You’ve treated us well Old Biscuit, you’ve treated us well!
