Review of The Hummingbird Bakery

27 Sep 07, 16:09

Crafty Cupcakes! 4*

The Humming Bird never fails to disappoint me, from the moment I walk in the door (or reach the door in the que) I forget my que rage and suddenly I am emerged in a mental battle of which delicious cake to consume.

The place is just so pretty it gets me every time. I even pay extra for my cake to be put in a box because I love the cute pink bird stamp they put on the top.

The staff are always really upbeat and can advise you on their best tasting cakes. The 'red velvet' cupcakes were flying out the door when I visited, however I opted for something with a bit more flavour - the lemon frosted cake followed by a bannana muffin (carrot cake was sold out).

It is pricey but I love the fact that when I walk out I feel inspired and always want to (and often do) go home and make similar cakes.

Best thing about where I live It is very close to London. It also has a lot of has trams and trees!
Worst thing about where I live It's not London and sometimes it's scary. It also has the most boring hight street ever known to man.
