I absolutely adore this Island North of Scotland called Orkney !. Very self sufficient and even has its own Mill with its very own Flour - Beremeal . You cant get this flour on the mainland and the bread the Orcadians make with this flour is Unique. Not unlike a Wheaten bread , anyhow i digress . We were on our way to the Islands Capital - Kirkwall and Cafe Lolz in the High Street . Lorraine is the most infectious , chatty and totally welcoming lady you could meet , born to customer service i would say and boy can she bake ! I was looking forward to this Assessment as this was a re-visit and i knew the standard , but you always wonder if premises can maintain a certain standard and i was left in no doubt once the cakes started to pour over my table . Brownies, Apricot and raisin Muffins, Death By Chocolate but my absolute favourite ( As last visit) was the Toffee and Walnut slice . I have absolutely no idea what the recipe is ( sadly) but this is just heaven . Chewy but not too chewy and Walnuts but not in your face walnuts . Love it. This lady does all the Baking for quite a large shop and all the cakes were as good as the next. The staff are utterly lovely and it just felt like a home from home. You absolutely cant walk past this Cafe if ever in Orkney - Its a must for Cake lovers. See you again very soon Lolz !!
