Seeing Yourself.

This past sunday at Violet seemed to be the day the bloggers all descended on the shop. Two of my favorite london blogs b. ferry and this is naive came and captured incredibly stunning images of the shop and all of the glory of it's little details. It's funny seeing yourself, and the place you spend so much time, up on a website you frequently visit. It makes you feel removed, like you're looking at yourself in a fishbowl.

Whoopie!

This week Violet played host to the book launch party for Claire Ptak's new cookbook all about Whoopie Pies! It was an amazing night full of champagne, and beautiful people and lots and lots of whoopie pies.

Supper Club.

A few nights ago there was a supper club at Violet Cakes. I had never been to one and wasn't quite sure what to expect, but was excited because everything about the shop is always so on point. This was no different. The place was transformed, the company was lively and the food was incredible. James Lowe of St. John Bread and Wine fame was the guest chef and served up seven courses that consisted of things like foraged wild pea and runner bean salad and a rib of beef that had been slow cooked for 3 hours. I was completely blown away, and to top it off, there was a wonderful band that played as we drank elderflower champagne and ate dessert. This was a night well spent in the company of the friendliest of strangers.
