Look for Vintage Patisserie on AmazonFull story →Angela Newman, better known today as Angel Adoree, pitched The Vintage Patisserie, a 1940s-styled party and events company, wanting £100,000 for 39 percent of the company, with Deborah Meaden and Theo Paphitis both offering to invest.
The business is still going, and it has grown into something far bigger than what aired in the studio.
1940s Styling On The Studio Floor
The pitch drew on wartime-era glamour, tea party culture and hand-crafted styling, presented in full period dress, a memorable enough performance that it still gets cited among the show's more charming moments.
Meaden and Paphitis offered jointly to back the £100,000 ask, counting the pitch as a completed deal in this archive, though the arrangement never actually came together once filming ended.
From East London Parties To A French Estate
Without the studio backing, Adoree kept the business growing independently, running themed events and styling workshops before adding a hospitality training academy to the mix.
Everything changed in 2015, when she and husband Dick Strawbridge took on a derelict French estate and set about rebuilding it, work that later became the subject of the television series Escape to the Chateau, and the events side of the business followed her there.
Where It Operates Now
The brand today centres on French chateau weddings, pulling in guests happy to fly out for the occasion, alongside Adoree's continued media work.
Few pitches in this archive have turned a collapsed studio deal into something this much larger than the original idea.
