Couple open city cafe 'better than the Ritz' with New York-inspired afternoon teas

A couple who didn't want to cut off their kids' cake supply have reopened their 'better than the Ritz' bakery as a cafe selling New York-inspired afternoon teas.

Baking has always been a passion for Matt Price, who would regularly make sweet treats in his kitchen with wife Elaine. Originally, the couple dished up their creations to family and friends and when their children came, it became a family hobby.

But soon their family home became a 24-hour bakehouse and Matt and Elaine decided to take the plunge and open their own premises in 2009. Cuthbert's, on Mount Pleasant became hugely popular and was even hailed as "better than the Ritz".
