If only all tennis matches featured this much cake…

Wimbledon begins next week and One Square at the Sheraton Grand in Edinburgh have been getting in the mood with some nifty pastry shots.

Their Pastry Chef has created a tableau of a championship tennis match made from cake. It is now on display in the hotel’s lobby.

We also liked the sound of the Love 40 cocktail which their barmen have concocted. We’ll let them describe it:

‘We take fresh strawberries and gently muddle them in a blend of orgeat syrup and elderflower cordial. Then add freshly pressed lemon juice and Cointreau. Finally we add a generous measure of Bloom Gin, a fantastic London Dry Gin enriched by the natural botanicals of chamomile, pomelo and honeysuckle amongst others.’
