All things nice — with Buns From Home, Elevate and Ladurée.

What’s the flavour of February, the month of love? Sugar, spice and sweetness, of course. Our luxury brands are celebrating with a series of elegant, velvety treats to tempt your sweet tooth. First on the menu has to be be Buns From Home’s Valentine’s Red Velvet Bun: bite into a hand-rolled croissant dough bun filled with layers of red velvet cake, silky cheesecake cream and a white chocolate red velvet truffle — available from the 13th to the 15th of February.

And check this out from Elevate. From Monday the 9th of February, the limited-edition Strawberries & Cream smoothie will be available — for one week only. “Familiar, delicate, and indulgent; a classic reinterpreted” says the brand. And on Valentine’s Day itself, in-store guests will be presented with a single-stem flower alongside their purchases (while stocks last): “a small indulgence to mark the day.” How lovely.

Ladurée invites you to “celebrate Valentine’s Day with our elegant pink heart-shaped box, a luxurious presentation designed to let you curate and enjoy the macarons of your choice.” With each delicacy offering a velvety ganache encased in a crisp, sweet shell, this gift — so evocative of the patisserie’s Parisian heritage — allows you to craft a bespoke present as personal as it is delightful.
