Low-sugar afternoon tea at the Pantry at 108 Sugar is big news these days. From the snootiest broadsheets to the unlikeliest of tabloids, every UK newspaper has, in the last year or so, been running headline-grabbing stories about the effects of sugar-laden foods on our health.

Top Walthamstow-based baking blogger Sarah Trivuncic of Maison Cupcake — once almost entirely associated with baked sweet treats — gave up sugar at the start of December.
