Best Cupcake Shops in London
Cupcakes are small sponge cakes wrapped in a thin paper container and are intended to be eaten by a single person. Their history stretches back to 1796, the time a recipe for cakes baked in small papers was written in American Cookeries. If we talk about the cupcakes, who can forget to mention London! Cupcakes are no doubt the only thing in London’s bakeries that differentiate them from the bakeries in rest of the world. A sweet combination of sugary icing and sponge is a great treat for tea, breakfast or special occasions. Cupcakes can be prepared with different types of ingredients and methods, but if we talk about English Cupcakes, they have a unique touch and can easily be differentiated from other cupcakes available. If you are a cupcake lover who is living in London or have plans to visit the city, then this guide is for you.
