ELLO, CUPCAKE LOVE

London, England

Even across the Atlantic Ocean, cupake mania is still very much prevalent. I had to make few cupcake stops in between my visits to Buckingham Palace, High Tea, and the London Eye.

 

Primrose Bakery-This adorable cupcake shop is located in the Covent Garden area of London. I had a white chocolate strawberry cupcake for £ 1.95 which was absolutely delicious. It was a vanilla cupcake with strawberry on the bottom and strawberry buttercream topped with white chocolate shavings. A sinful combination.

Cupcake Company-A small cupcakery in the Notting Hill section of London. I had a £2.50 vanilla buttercream cupcake. The cake, which seemed to include vanilla beans, was a little dry but the pink buttercream frosting was delicious. It was topped with a mini fondant cupcake-so cute!

Hummingbird Bakery-This is perhaps the most famous cupcakery in London-spawning cookbooks and tons of fanatic followers. It was packed but I was finally able to get the Black Bottom cupcake for £ 2.95. It was a bit too sweet and I must add, a bit overrated.

 
cheers, cupcakers
