I had bought the book for my Dad a few years ago as not only is he the biggest sweet demon in Wales, but I had previously enjoyed an evening of cocktails with Adele and felt I just had to do it again - this time with the aim of raising a few extra £'s for St David's Hospice.
The book is available in Bookish and all other good booksellers and it really does provide a nostalgic dip into the past, along with much to look forward to whilst recreating the old delights in your kitchen (possibly with the aid of dentures and a few new fillings but its all about moderation!)
There were 14 of us in total and we experienced the "Parma Violet"; Pineapple Cube and Kola Kube concoctions and finally a slam shot of Turkish Delight topped with a Giant Chocolate Button. My frayed muscle endings thoroughly enjoyed the sugar surge to the system and with the anecdotes of Adele's tour provided in her inimitable humorous style, a thoroughly "sweet" evening was had by all.
We also managed to raise over £200 towards my fundraising target which I am overjoyed to report I have now exceeded!
