Eric Lanlard knows a thing or two about cake. The Master Patissier has earned himself a reputation as one of the very best. We sat down for some sweet talking at his amazing Cake Boy Boutique in Battersea, and tried its spectacular afternoon tea.

We love an afternoon tea here at Virgin Experience Days - we dream and drool about the delicious collection of Afternoon Tea experiences we offer - and we talk about them, a lot. But mainly we talk about what we're going to wear next time we are lucky enough to be invited out for Afternoon Tea ourselves. What is a 'smart casual' outfit?

Everyone knows there’s loads of Lamborghini models. But could you tell the difference between a Huracan or Aventador when they fly past you on the motorway, or are parked up blinged out in gold on a London side street? Not to worry: we’re here to help. (And for a bit of fun, skip to the bottom to find the price to beat if you want to own one!)

Steak, glorious steak! It’s time to up your beef game and show-off your culinary skills in the kitchen.
