DANIEL FROM AMATO is BACK IN TOWN!
There is a real buzz in the air at the Family Cake Company ! Rumour has it we are fast becoming London's best kept secret for bespoke pasticceria cakes of excellence! So what's the big secret ?? !! Sshhhhh !!!
Well... could have a little or ALOT to do with Daniel, or Dan or Danny (Master of disguise & intrigue). Yes our very own Daniel, ex proprietor & cake guru of AMATO (cake heaven & haven) in Old Compton Street, Soho, London. He had quite some following, like a chocolate coated, cream filled, Pied Piper of Soho... I LOVE the idea of Daniel dancing through the narrow streets of London's boho chic village playing his little flute & all the cake loving, frangipane lusting, profiterole dependants running along after him.
Anyway, it's great! Now that the man himself is back on the cake scene we can expect business as usual, alas not in Soho but a couple of stone throws away in Holborn.. a little bite size version of the past called EATALY.. right on the corner next to Holborn tube. By day Daniel is once again Master of the cake counter & his prized coffee machine. Daniel without his Gaggia would be like Hendrix without his guitar or Bond without his Aston!
After a day of fulfilling the caffeine thirsty needs of the the local Holborn'ians our coffee maestro turns his talents back to designing the cakes at the Family Cake Company. Daniel's head baker Vincenzo weaves his magic & brings life to Daniels designs & recipes.
