Peggy's Cupcakes
The Backyard Market (the market across the way from the Sunday Upmarket)
Brick Lane

I was wandering around Brick Lane the other Sunday when I ran into Peggy's Cupcakes. You might know that I've eaten a lot of cupcakes in London. Peggy's are some of the prettiest. If I weren't on a huge diet at the moment, I would have had one. But I didn't. I just stood there staring for a while.

They don't make miniature cupcakes, if you're asking. Just these. Which is a bit of a bummer if you're subsisting on fruit smoothies. But again, still nice to look at.

Tell me that you’ve been to the Hummingbird Bakery. Now they have the BEST cupcakes in town!

Aha! I wondered when someone else would spot these. I met Rosalind (the lady who makes them) the other day – she was SO lovely! I’m blogging it soon for the real food festival. My favourite without doubt was the pear and cardamom..

Yup, I’ve been to the South Ken and the Notting Hill Hummingbird branches. I
like their carrot cake cupcakes. Delicious!

Just bought a red velvet from a stall near my work and am not very impressed. Was surprised at the cost – £2.50 – for a cupcake which was somewhat on the small side and which is possibly the most disappointing red velvet I have ever tasted. It was unvenly baked, with unidetified lumps of gloop inside, the outside tasted slightly burnt and there was no discernable chocolate flavour which is a trademark of this recipe. Not enough frosting either (a shame as it may have helped to cover the slightly odd taste of the sponge).

I make these at home and whilst I’m not great at cakes was astonished to find that I prefer mine – a silver lining, I suppose!

If you are a fan of cupcakes and you are visiting the Brighton area, I would suggest the Angel Food Bakery which is based in The Lanes.

Perhaps an off day for Peggy’s Cupcakes, but I certainly wouldn’t buy these again.
