Peggy Porschen Parlour Café in London

A visit to the Peggy Porschen café in London, soon after opening. Photos show the pink parlour has changed very little since my visit when I took a cake decorating class with Peggy. This post is part of a series.

Updated 2026 · Original images made bigger and brighter.

I am excited to present, for your sugary gorgeous delight, a whole line up of Peggy-related posts between now and Friday.

I was spinning cartwheels when I was invited to attend a two-day cake masterclass at the Peggy Porschen Academy.

Really me? You mean that gorgeous place where people learn to make incredibly amazing cookies and cakes like these above? With Peggy herself?

You could have knocked me down with a pink feather. In fact, I need a cup of tea to revive myself.

What better place to fan myself than Peggy’s pink parlour cafe?

Visiting The Peggy Porschen Café In London

The Peggy Porschen Parlour opened in autumn 2010 and sits on the corner of an extremely well-to-do street in London’s Belgravia.

The shop is pretty and feminine with pink chairs and tables outside. I often recognise its exterior softly focused in the background of fashion spreads.

It’s full on sugar fest in here, this isn’t the place to come for a sandwich or a cheese scone. Instead you can treat yourself to a beautifully piped miniature cake, cupcakes, muffins and cookies all in Peggy’s distinctive romantic style.

Rubbing noses with premises for William Curley, Erickson Beamon, Philip Treacy, a glance at the locale clientele tells you this is a seriously exclusive neighbourhood with prices to match.

Business is especially brisk after the 4×4 school run and on weekends. It’s only a little place so you may not manage to get a seat at these times.

For those unwilling to submit to potential waistline expansion, the Peggy Porschen Parlour also serves a low sugar muffin – I’m told it’s extremely popular with local mums.

You can also take home some Peggy branded soaps, body lotions and aprons.

Ah well, if you can’t bring yourself to eat the cakes with more than 100 calories then you can wear Peggy’s wares instead.

Above you can see some of Peggy Porschen Parlour signature pink fondant fancies as seen on the cover of her book “Cake Chic”.

Peggy is German but has been living in the UK for over twelve years. She trained at Le Cordon Bleu, Marylebone and was previously a cake decorator at Konditor & Cook.

Of course the good thing about somewhere so intimate, is that you get a fantastic close up view of all the big cakes on display.

I especially liked this square tiered cake with applique fondant bibs, bears and prams for a baby shower.

Being stuffed with cupcakes from the break during my Cake Decorating Class With Peggy Porschen, I’m sorry to say I didn’t have anything more exciting than a spicy gingerbread tea and a mini macaron in the cafe!

I was sat very close to these flower cookies on display in the Peggy Porschen Parlour window. So simple but gorgeous.

This pink and brown spotty cake is one of Peggy’s signature designs, very similar to one seen on the cover of her “Romantic Cakes” book.

The pink ruffled one had just been used in a photo shoot for a bridal magazine.

With thanks to Peggy Porschen. Peggy’s Favourite Cakes & Cookies is published by Quadrille.
