I’m a girl with a sweet tooth, “decadant” should be my middle name .. And “seconds” should be my third, because i can never get enough. Whether it’s milktart, chocolate cake, brownies or custard slices.. I adore sweet treats.. However my absolute favorite is scones with fresh cream and strawberry jam. Nothing makes me feel more fancy, or more like a lady than sipping on a cup of tea and eating scones. There is just something magical about them that takes me back to childhood memories with my mom and granny 😍 ☕🍰🍩🍪🍮

Oh my word… I have always wanted to experience a High Tea. I would take my mom, who has also never been, to over-indulge with fresh scones with obscene amounts of jam and cream ❤ Yes please!

Victoria Sponge cake!
Ah this takes me back to the wonderful days of my childhood when my granny would serve a thick slice of Victoria sponge cake with a cup of freshly brewed tea. Her tales from afar coupled with the marriage of decadent sponge caressed with luscious cream & strawberry jam was memorable. So yes, high teas were so fashionable back then. Now Oyster Box has perfected the art of high tea & the fact that you have to book months in advance says a lot. I for one would love to take my daughter there so she can savour the delights of tea time bliss!

I am such a sucker for patisserie, from muffins, cakes, scones, croissants to pancakes and waffles, you name it I love it. But the one decadence that my daughter and I cannot ever walk past is a zesty lemon meringue cake. ♡

Pecan Pie with cream.

I love carrot cake, but I find that many places do not use the traditional icing on the cake,and it totally spoils it. I wonder how the Oyster Box’s icing is?

My absolute favourite is strawberry cheesecake. This would be a dream come true and an absolute spoil for my husband and I when we are in dbn. It would also satisfy a preggy mamas sweet tooth cravings by hitting all the right spots!

My husband and I adore anything sweet. Chocolate cake and carrot cake are always vying for top position as we love them both. 2016 has been the most challenging year to date. Hubby lost his job and finances took a plumet. On 17th november hubby celebrated his birthday. No celebrations as money was tight. I am entering this comp with everything crossed so that I can take him to this prestige high tea which we have always wanted to attend. Pick us and we promise to take out many pictures.

Its very hard to chose as I have such a sweet tooth, but I think my absolute favorite is cheese cake. I would really love to win this prize, have always wanted to come to your high tea or breakfast, heard so much about it from friends, but my tight budget has never allowed me too:(. Any way my hubby has promised me for my 50th Birthday next year (3 Dec 2017) he will bring me:) 🙂 🙂

Ah.. sweet treats….. chocolate, in every shape and form, especially a moist slice of cake…. but combine with the indulgence of cheese, and a chocolate cheesecake with raspberries….. that would be a drift into heaven on earth.

I’m a sucker for lemon meringue pie! Golden and sweet with a creamy lemon that melts in your mouth, and a rich crunchy base! To die for!
Melissa Moodley

I absolutely adore chocolate brownies topped with ice – cream. The brownie must be very chocolatey and rich. I also enjoy a nice hot scone with some cream. I am a HUGE tea lover!!!! tea just goes perfect with a scone and even muffins. Yea I do have a heavy sweet tooth!!!! but having something sweet is what makes life GREAT!!!!!! I would LOVE to go to the High Tea and I would take my mom with me as we both have always wanted to experience the High Tea at the Oyster Box. I get my sweet tooth from her 😉

Picking a single sweet treat Ia the most difficult one but nothing beats a cupcake really . A try of gourmet cupcakes like lindt and Ferrero would be rather exciting . The oyster box has the best high tea ever and even though Im not even a tea drinker I had throughly enjoyed myself the one time I was given the opportunity to dine there 🙂

I am a huge chocolate fan so I would have to say a deliciously rich chocolate brownie…but when it comes to the Oyster Box, EVERYTHING is absolutely out of this world <3 I was blessed enough to have been invited to a birthday for high tea at the Oyster box a few years ago and I had the most amazing time – the food was impeccable! Would SOOOOOOO love to win and take my boyfriend with to experience it for the first time 😀 😀 😀 😀 I know he would just love it! HOPING!!!
