Treat yourself

LENT is coming to a close and with it the end of self-imposed, 40-day dietary requirements. Thankfully, there are plenty of brand-new sweet treats with which to reward yourself. In the past few days alone, Flor launched London’s first ‘laminated brioche bun’ and Crosstown Doughnuts has teamed up with Pip & Nut to create limited-edition ‘almond butter cinnamon scroll’ and ‘cinnamon scroll almond butter’ doughnuts (www.florlondon. com; www.crosstown.co.uk). Over in west London, Layla Bakery is gearing up for Alice Norman’s weekend-long residency. Her signature crullers—choux pastry, fluted, ring-shaped doughnuts—will be available on April 9–10 (www.laylabakery.com).
