A new sister venue to Waterloo's @victorssweetdelights has now opened just off Water Street, bringing a taste of the viral french desserts to the people of Liverpool ๐Ÿ˜‹
We paid it a visit today during their grand opening and took a look round their new city centre venue. Not only is the sleek, floral decor beautifully done but the desserts themselves looked incredible. Our favourite had to be the mango with the passion fruit being a close second!

Did you know one of Europeโ€™s biggest regeneration projects is happening right here in Liverpoolโ“
๐ŸŒ‡ Something VERY special is taking shape on Liverpoolโ€™s waterfront, and we got a first look.
We recently spent time with Peel Waters Managing Director James Whittaker, who gave us a tour of Central Docks to show us the incredible transformation already underway and share his vision for whatโ€™s still to come.
As part of the Liverpool Waters regeneration, Central Docks is set to become a thriving new waterfront neighbourhood, featuring new homes, commercial and leisure spaces, community facilities and a stunning five-acre Central Park. Sitting alongside Evertonโ€™s new Hill Dickinson Stadium and just a mile from the city centre, itโ€™s a development that will help shape Liverpoolโ€™s future for generations.
Our cameras captured the scale of whatโ€™s happening, and we heard first-hand about the ambition behind one of Europeโ€™s largest regeneration projects.๐ŸŽฅ
