I’m showcasing a visual guidebook I either created, curated, or deeply appreciate — it’s called “The Sweetest Spots: A Visual Guide to London’s Best Bakeries.” It’s more than just a list of places; it’s a carefully designed journey through the most charming, cozy, and delicious bakeries London has to offer.

What I love about it:

• The cover instantly gives off the vibe I wanted — soft, inviting, and a bit whimsical. The illustration of the bakery storefront sets the tone: warm, detailed, and focused on the small joys in life.

• Inside, each feature is beautifully illustrated, like the one shown here for Katsute 100, a Japanese-inspired tea house. The strawberry shortcake drawing pops — it feels hand-crafted and full of character, just like the places it represents.

• The layout is clean and minimalist, which keeps the focus on the bakery experience. I also included a small interactive element — readers can rate the spots themselves, which helps make it personal and fun.

• I tried to strike a balance between informative and aesthetic. You get location details and a taste of the vibe (like the mention of antique décor at Katsute 100), but it’s all wrapped in a visual story that’s easy to flip through and enjoy.

This book is a reflection of how I see bakeries — not just as places to eat, but as experiences to savor. Whether you’re a London local, a foodie traveler, or just someone who appreciates good design and sweet things, this guide is meant to inspire and delight.
