It's always a delight to see pastry chefs add a special touch to sweets, and the chef behind this themed afternoon tea definitely has unique taste.

The Swiss chef was deeply inspired by Claude Monet, one of the key leaders of the French Impressionist movement of the 1870s and 1880s.

During the afternoon tea, guests will find water lily paintings, sunflower cupcakes, and strawberry macaroons, among many other treats inspired by the great artist.
