The Cupcake Boutique, Aldinga
Posted by Lea on December 10th filed in AdelaideWe spent a few years living in Adelaide until a while back, and we still go back to visit occasionally.
Its a hot, dry place, but the people are lovely and we have some special friends that we just have to catch up with occasionally.
On our last trip, a friend took me to the Cupcake Boutique in Aldinga – this is new since last time I was there, or somehow I just missed it (and – me? Fail to notice a High Tea establishment? I think not!) but it has a delightful menu.
The decor style is French Provincial, to my eye, and it is very relaxing and elegant place. It is attached to a B&B called Maison Blue, you could also stay there overnight if you were actually doing a high tea tour. (Ooh! Now there’s an idea!)
The high tea offerings were scrummy and they make a very nice pot of tea.
Recommended – make sure you drop in if you are in the area

I had a wonderfully relaxing afternoon tea at TheCupCake Boutique Sunday 11th April 10. I was there with friends of my daughter in law, celebrating the impending birth of her second child—an High Tea baby shower!
The decor and view outdoors is superb. Acres of vines with their autumn leaves falling and a genteel calmness over the whole property, other than the chattiness of women present.
The array of pastries, sandwiches, slices and cakes tasted delicious and were freshly home made.
I agree with the above comment by Lea Dec 10th . . pots of hot tea beautifully served —colourful bone china cups and saucers and coffee, if preferred. Presentation 10 out of 10.
I found the whole experience FAR better than that of high tea at Raffles, Singapore in ‘Tiffin Room’-and better value for money too. Yes, Raffles has history, but, the food and venue in our lovely Adelaide southern countryside at The CupCake Boutique, Aldinga, SURPASSED ‘Tiffin Room’ by miles.
I am a VERY proud South Australian! Well done!
