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.

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

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..

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