The obvious choice was cak. Cupcakes from St Albans-based cake makers, Crave Cakes.
I met the ladies behind Crave Cakes — Alex Tawfik and Sonal Vee — during lockdown. They baked up a storm for the St Albans hub of You Deliver We Donate, that I’d founded up with my neighbour, Lisa Quait. Our group cooked 400+ meals a week to help fuel our amazing NHS staff and also collected supplies for homeless and needy locals.
Once a week, Alex would drive up and unload stunning creations that made tired hospital staff smile and feel the love.
I asked them to bake me six cupcakes and gave Alex a few of his favourite things.
The next day, Alex brought round six salted caramel cupcakes, topped with Tottenham Hotspur-themed décor.

Not only were the cakes utterly superb, but they looked fabulous and made my eleven year old boy feel super special. Job done.
