The Biltmore has collaborated with Bond Street's Boodles to create a deliciously exquisite afternoon tea inspired by the British jewellers timeless pieces - one not to miss this autumn.
The afternoon tea is a visual and culinary tribute to Boodles' illustrious heritage and their renowned creations. Featuring an array of pastries and desserts delicately crafted by The Biltmore's expert pastry chefs, the menu perfectly compliments Boodles' famous pink diamonds.
The cakes take centre stage, with the pink Apple & Vanilla Pearls reflecting the Boodles Luna Pearl Rose Gold pendant. The smooth white chocolate ganache and apple compote create a refined contrast, reminiscent of light on a polished pearl.
The Flower Choux, featuring milk chocolate ganache and blueberry gel, draws inspiration from the Flower Pink Diamond Platinum and Rose Gold, showcasing Boodles' intricate floral designs. The dried meringue adds a light texture, reflecting the artisans’ craftsmanship. The Pear & White Chocolate Heart captures the romantic essence of Boodles' designs, combining white chocolate mousse and caramelised pears on a vanilla base, highlighting the blend of classic beauty and modern sophistication.
The Chocolate Explosion cake honours the bold and vibrant pieces in Boodles’ collection. Featuring Guanaja chocolate mousse, hazelnut praline, crystallised chocolate, and brownie cake, it is a rich cake that is simply devine. The sugar flower on top adds a decorative element, reminiscent of Boodles' signature intricate detailing. The Lemon and Chamomile Boodles Shortbread provides a delightful finishing touch.
Guests can also savour the selection of innovative sandwiches and savoury items made to The Biltmore's exceptional standards. Known for its luxurious suites, The Biltmore provides an ideal setting for an afternoon tea that aims to be as exquisite as the jewels that inspired it.
