Pretty in pink at Peggy Porschen's

   Having seen this picturesque pink parlour all over my Instagram feed for well over a year, I knew a visit to this place was long overdue. With the promise of pretty cupcakes and the perfect floral backdrop, how could I delay it any further?

   Let us find out if it lived up to the hype...

   The unique exterior of Peggy Porschen's Cakes in Belgravia can be spotted right from the top of the street. It was painted pastel pink and adorned with a variety of violet, pink and purple flowers tumbling from the top of the door frame. 

   I was with my very good friend, Tuesday, and the first thing we did was line up to take pictures in front of the stunning entrance. The wait wasn't too bad, considering that it was a very sunny day, as there were only two groups of people in front of us. 

   We became acquainted with a lovely group of three girls from India, whose family had provided them with a list of beautiful places to visit whilst they were in London, hence why they took plenty of pictures. If any of you are reading this now, I really hope you are enjoying the city!

   Thankfully, I planned out the perfect outfit to match the aesthetic of the parlour with my statement piece being these pink paper bag trousers from Miss Selfridge. There's still a few left in the sale if you want to grab a pair!

   I usually feel extremely awkward taking blog photos in public and I'm still not used to the stares I get in the street. However, in this particular location, I found that the attitude was very different. With this being a very 'Instagramable place' - a norm of taking model-like pictures had been established, hence why nobody lingered in front of the entrance or paid attention.

I wish everywhere was like this!

   Inside the parlour was equally as pretty. It was furnished with flowers, marble tables and delicately wrapped biscuits and macaroons on display. To top it all off, there was table service! I had never seen a café quite like this.

   Me and Tuesday both ordered a bottle of French pink lemonade and a cherry chocolate chip cupcake each. Honestly, I expected the cakes to be sickly but they were quite the opposite. The cherry meringue buttercream melted in my mouth and the vanilla sponge was complemented by a scrumptious surprise of cherry preserve in the centre.

By the time I was done with that plate, it looked fresh out of the dishwasher.

   The French pink lemonade was very refreshing and flavoursome. Not going to lie, I did get a kick out of all the colours co-ordinating very well.

   The staff were incredibly friendly and the parlour provided for an ideal place to meet friends, take pictures, chat and enjoy tasty treats without any loud disturbances.

   Do I feel that it is overhyped on social media? Absolutely not. Not a single aspect of Peggy Porschen's Cakes let me down and, in my humble opinion, I don't think anyone should refrain from visiting just because it has proven to be very popular in the Blogosphere.

Is this a place you would love to visit or have you already been?
