ELISHA EATS
Looking for a sugar fix? Elisha Young has picked out her favourite dessert spots in Cambridge to satisfy those sweet cravings THE SWEET SPOT
W hen I was younger, my sweet tooth was a source of shame for my family. As the child of a dentist and dental nurse, it didn’t look great when I started peeling the fondant icing off a birthday cake to better enjoy its sugary goodness – or when I used a teaspoon to scoop the filling out of a Cadbury Creme Egg (to add injury to insult, I also managed to crack one of my teeth while doing this). Happily, my many years of sugar consumption have paid off, as I can now use my experience to better inform you about my favourite places to grab a dessert in Cambridge. Don’t worry, my palate has mellowed out since those Creme Egg days, so there are no sickly or cloying suggestions here – only moreish ones! Artisan delights First is Modigliani, a small artisan coffee shop – so small you have to be careful not to miss it as you stroll down Mill Road – that also produces incredibly delicious desserts. The menu is constantly evolving, but when I last visited it featured vanilla, pistachio and roasted almond Basque cheesecakes, beautifully laminated sfogliatella pastries, bombolini bursting with custard, two types of tiramisu and a carefully decorated pastry made to look
