Sugar rush in Soho

My pal Saz and I went to try out the newly-opened Hummingbird Bakery in Soho this week. The decor: very cute. The cakes: very, very cute.
Hummingbird's most famous confection is the red velvet cake, which I had in cupcake form. The sponge was sweet, rich and moist, coloured an incredibly lairy crimson shade and topped with white cream cheese icing. Black-bottomed chocolate cake was also a serious sugar hit packed with chunks of chocolate. Of course, all the cupcakes looked calorifically beautiful lined up under the glass in all different colours, including the special Christmas ones with Santas and reindeers on top. It may not be grown-up, but sometimes you just need a big pink cupcake with glittery sprinkles on top after a hard day in the office.
