T Ann Cake

The second Hotspot visit was just too cute! We met Ann at her cafe called Tea Ann Cake on Exchange street. I thought the shop was decorated beautifully with a cutesy kitsch look with mismatched teacups and saucers, knitted teapot cosies and oven mits hanging from the ceiling. Ann was just as nice as her cafe, it was a lot less formal talking to Ann the it was with Andy Rice, we asked her lots of questions about why she started a cafe business and why in Dundee and found out that she loved to travel and especially loved her time in New York. She said she had always liked and been interested in food and when walking past all the lovely shops and cafes in New York she had to stop and take pictures of the food and cakes in the windows.Ann decided to move back to Dundee where she had previously lived and studied business commerce at Abertay University. She worked as a barrister to see how to run a food business and started selling her delicious home-made cakes at farmers markets. Ann found the location for her cafe and set up shop in 2010, her business is doing very well and is a lovely place to catch up with a friend and have lunch. I would be proud if I achieved that in the future!
