The Patisserie by Nicolas Rouzard Afternoon Tea For Two

Taste of the Goodwoof for a limited time until May 31 2025

I sent him to buy cakes for tea. We could have sat down for afternoon tea and soaked up the gentile atmosphere and sweet aroma of Nicholas Rouzard’s decadent imagination. The budget option, although not so budget, cakes to go.

We were on a mission to try the Goodwoof, created by world renowned French pastry chef at the Connaught Hotel.

For people that like the Connaught, people tend to love it or cringe, (my godfather thinks it’s a knocking shop although not sure how he knows that) the greyhound that appears on the hotel emblem, has been turned into chocolate hazelnut cake. And the tiny works of art, a patisserie signature are available to feast on in house or to take away.

The Goodwoof cakes we bought, are bigger.

For dog lovers, hounds especially the Connaughty Hound has been transformed into a dachshund or sausage dog. Gianduja mousse and orange pain de Gene are set in Hukambi cocoa, topped with a vanilla glaze, a celebration for the annual Goodwoof Festival.

We had to try them as the limited-edition creation with 10% of proceeds going to the Wild at Heart Foundation - Goodwoof’s charity partner for 2025 is only available until 31st May.

As a massive dog lover I am inspired by the work Wild at heart charity has done since 2015 helping stray dogs around the world.

Go and treat yourself to a dachshund or two at £17 a piece. Everyone gets to savour the exquisite taste sensation of a master chocolatier and patissier at home with a cup of tea and feel good vibes too helping abandoned pouches.
