People get excited by those three little words but we’re more excited by more cake, please.
Steaming cups of fancy brew, scones the size of a clenched first and all the tiny sandwiches you could ever hope for.
And you best believe we expect everything to be exquisitely presented and on a tier, of course.
When it comes to being spoiled we expect nothing but the best.
