The Best Cupcakes of 2009

The Hummingbird Bakery

In our opinion 2009 was the year of the cupcake, and as cupcake connoisseurs we’ve taken it upon ourselves to sift and scoff our way through the sweet treats to bring you the very best this year.

Undoubtedly one of our favourite cupcake eateries, Hummingbird Bakery produces the sweetest cupcakes all year round. With their new shop just opened in Soho now you have no excuse not to try one…or three. We must say our favourite was always the classic Red Velvet sponge but it is being nudged out of the top spot by the new chocolate black bottom…try it and see.

Fair Cake

Bea’s of Bloomsbury is packed full of sweet treats from the swirly topped cupcakes to the blood-orange, chocolate or raspberry meringues. Stop by for lunch or afternoon tea for your cupcake calorie fix. Try the Chocolate Grand Marnier cupcake.

For all you eco conscious eaters of the cupcake world, Fair Cake is the one for you using only fair trade chocolate and free range eggs. The delicious designs will have you drooling, try the award winning White Chocolate and Limocello Cupcakes
