About this episode
Crookie, anyone? Cronut, croffle?
Ruth Alexander looks at the rise of the dessert café and the extraordinary creations it’s spawned.
She visits one such café in Manchester with roses adorning the walls, and chocolate adorning almost everything else.
And speaks to a food blogger in Dubai and a café owner in USA about the latest trends and the businesses who have been serving puddings for decades.
Find out what the latest fashions are in dessert, and how quickly a new invention can sweep the world.
Going out for pudding has become the thing to do in many places and the more extravagant your order, the better.
In fact, going out for pudding has never been so fashionable – or has it?
