A familiar group reunited around the table this time last week.

We had the pleasure of welcoming Benoit Blin, Cherish Finden , Liam Charles of Bake Off: The Professionals to The Stafford London for afternoon tea.

For our pastry team, the occasion brought back memories of an incredible journey — from the first bake to the final, where they finished as runners-up.

From building a floating Tiki bar to creating an elaborate Masquerade Ball for the final, the journey brought no shortage of ambitious challenges, creativity and pressure. A lovely opportunity to come together once again and look back on an experience the team will always remember.
