National Cupcake Week

This week was national cupcake so I tried to do myself proud (like I really needed any excuse to eat cake.)

I went sampled two cupcakes in the hope that I would find my favourite cupcake supplier in Manncy town.

First up I went to Sweet Tooth Cupcakery....

I think I have mentioned it before - This place is soo pretty! The staff are really friendly and the cupcakes are displayed gorgeously and named after celebs. The picture above is of my "Doris Day" Cupcake. A simple vanilla cupcake with lemon frosting.The Bestie had a" Johnny Cash" which is a a chocolate sponge and oreo cookie frosting. It also had a large Oreo cookie at the base which was a nice touch.

Unfortunately our cakes were a little dry - It won't stop me going back but I wish they could have been a little more lighter and moist. The frosting left my friend feeling a little sickly too.

So determined to have a truly perfect cupcake experience I moved on to Selfridges. A few weeks ago Bestie turned up at my door with the most gorgeous, melt in your mouth creations. They are made by Fiona Cairns for Selfridges. You can buy them individually or boxed like the pic below..

The pic of the Fiona ones above aren't mine - I squashed my one before I could capture it on Camera. Anyway my cupcake was STALE - I couldn't even eat it. I had been dreaming of it as it had been soo delicious before but this time it wasn't meant to be :-(

I guess I will just have to try again ho hum :-)
