The Vintage Patisserie is a haven of all things glamour, vintage and retro. Run by Angel Adoree, the outstanding character you may have seen on Dragon's Den or Channel 4's Escape to the Chateau, the Vintage Patisserie is a vintage hosting company, originally founded in East London where it spent years wowing its clientele with unforgettable tea parties from a bygone era. In 2015, the company (and Angel) relocated to the beautiful Chateau-de-la-Motte Husson in France, and now offers fairytale vintage weddings, among other unique celebrations. For that reason, there's nowhere better to get simple, elegant advice for hosting your very own Vintage Tea Party at home than from Angel and The Vintage Tea Party Book.
As well as providing sumptuous elegant recipes to cover every time of the day, Angel's The Vintage Tea Party Book covers the full breadth of those little touches that make the perfect vintage party: Invitations, attire, decorations, props and more. The book is broken into:

Product Information
The growing tea party trend meets the Vintage culture in a perfect combination of recipes and lifestyle tips. Angel Adoree's fame from Dragon's Den has continued through to her ever-popular tea party events, serving a huge demand for hen parties and birthdays to corporate clients such as Paul Smith, Oasis and Agent Provocateur. She will be opening a London shop later in the year.
Angel Adoree was the outstanding character of this year's 'Dragons' Den' on BBC Two. She has grown up with great determination, a skill for creativity and has taught herself strong business acumen - she ticked all the boxes with the dragons and became the face of the series. She was offered GBP 100k investment from Deborah Meaden and Theo Paphitis to develop her website and to buy a shop-property for her business, The Vintage Patisserie - http://www.vintagepatisserie.co.uk Angel's eye for beautiful things started at a young age, and by the age of thirteen she was buying fur jackets, jewelled bags and glamorous hats and soon had her friends begging her to dress them. A market stall followed and when the stall couldn't quell the tide of treasure, Angel moved to a big converted school house in Bethnal Green. It was here in 2001 that the launch of 'The Vintage Experience' took place, where Angel opened her doors to her devotees and revealed rail upon rail of vintage delights, and offered advice and hand picked gems that were just right for her clients - as well as providing them with delicious cakes! The Vintage Experience lasted for seven years and invitations were very sought after! When this brand could grow no more, the Vintage Patisserie was born. Angel has shown that you can make your dreams a reality with a bit of hard work, lots of dedication and plenty of passion. With the ongoing success of The Vintage Patisserie the world is Angel's oyster...or rather her cupcake!
