Reaching Cloud 9 in Brighton

Well, I'm afraid I have to admit I never reached day 7 of the raw food diet. It was rather impractical timing with a trip to the UK half way through it. I only managed four days, and to throw you off even further, today I am talking CAKE! Gluten free cake to be precise.

I am currently visiting my family in Brighton. I absolutely adore this City, it has something for everyone. I was rather surprised to find that my Dad had stocked up on every single gluten free alternative under the sun, and had purchased a fantastic Gluten Free Recipe Book. Today I will be attempting the raspberry muffins, I'll let you know how I get along.

On Thursday, a day after arriving home I went on a shopping trip to find some shoes to go with my wedding dress. My Dad came along and we stumbled upon Cloud 9 Bakery in Brighton after a successful shoe purchase. Now this place truly is a treasure trove, it really does deserve the name that it goes by. Friendly staff and top notch bakes! As any kind Sister would, I took my Brother along yesterday (Saturday) so that he wouldn't be missing out. This means that not only have I tried their gluten wise almond cake with dark chocolate ganache, but yesterday I got the chance to try their gluten wise chocolate brownie slab, and their gluten wise chocolate brownie and cheesecake slab - both were utterly heavenly!

I now am going to have to put a restraining order on myself as I need to squeeze back into my wedding dress for my second fitting in a couple of weeks time - and I could easily find myself visiting that place a lot as they also have a fantastic collection of homemade ice cream I would love to try in all sorts of creative flavours. Come on British weather, I want a good excuse for an ice cream!

Unfortunately the cakes were so good, no sooner were they on our plates before they were hoovered up, with not a crumb left as evidence - so I have no personal photos to share. I recommend that you check out their website or their facebook page, here's an image I stole from the latter.
