Bloomsbury's is a boutique cafe and artisan bakery that has a total of five outlets in the United Arab Emirates. Its name made a big noise in the food industry for creating "The Golden Phoenix" - the world's most expensive edible cupcake which was ridiculously prized at AED 3,700.

We didn't hit off instantly back then because he, for some peculiar reasons, was...
