Toppings and sauces are kept in beakers to complete the science lab vibe, and flavours are outlandish - think pandan leaf and black sesame cake."

"This Chinatown bakery has taken a classic Japanese sweet treat and made it both bigger and (possibly) better.

Bake makes relatively massive taiyaki, opens their mouths, and uses them as cones for its green tea-flavoured soft serve."
"Philippe Conticini is a legend of pĆ¢tisserie and both of his eponymous LondoncafĆ©s are home to some of the finest gourmet pastries on this side of the channel.

His Paris Brest is a thing of delicate, complicated beauty; his vanilla flan a reminder of what heights custard can achieve; and his pain au chocolat, a pastry so layered and flaky that it makes all pretenders seem a sham."
"If youāre a big fan of croissants, then the Pasty Parlour is a must for your Little Black Book. One of Londonās best bakeries, everything is baked fresh on-site daily and their pastries are said to rival the originals from across the channel. 8 Piazza Walk, London E1 8FU; thepastryparlour.co.uk"
