Violet Cakes

Claire Ptak was made world-famous thanks to Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, who chose the Californian implant to bake their wedding cake. Hackney locals have been buying her goodies since 2005 when she first started selling them from a Broadway Market stall. Her shop-café north of London Fields specialises in seasonal bakes such as almond polenta muffins topped with chamomile apricots and peanut-butter cherry cake.
