I've been staying in Bothwell for a couple of weeks now (house sitting, I haven't suddenly came…read moreinto a windfall!) and have had the great pleasure of sampling some gorgeous cupcakery from this wee bakery on Bothwell's lovely Main Street. Now, as an amateur baker myself, I'd like to think I know my cupcakes. I bake from the Hummingbird Bakery books, and they always turn out fantastic. Having visited said bakery myself and got some dee-licious cakes, I can say that they are the best so far, but closely contended by this lovely little delight. The shop itself can seat a couple of tables of people. I am yet to sit in, but will do so one day for sure, as they sell Spanish hot chocolate that smells awesome. They have trays of different cakes every day. We sampled some marshmallow cupcakes, which, I have to say, are sweet beyond description, but bloody fabulous. You could easily share one between two and be satisfied (although I didn't, and was satisfied moreso). I just love everything about the place. I had no time to bake for visitors coming around today so I just went up and bought a box of 9 mini cupcakes, bite sized sponge topped with a peak of butter cream icing dyed vibrant shades of turquoise and pink, sprinkled with iridescent glitter. Gorgeous, cute as buttons, and went down a treat with the guests. The cupcakes are around £2.25 and the mini ones can be bought for £7.50 for a box of 9. Pricey perhaps, but in my opinion, you can never put a price on a good cake.

The cakes and biscuits are yummy, of course, and you can sit in here and have a cup of tea with your cake, which is ideal. What's better than cake and tea? Not much, I imagine. The shop itself is a little outdated, but perhaps part of the charm. The windows promise a shop full of cool retro trinkets and memorabilia, but it's a bit disappointing if I'm honest. Very 80's, but in a more dusty way than funky.

I could talk about this place all day. Highly recommended!!!

Everything I remember doing was exciting, and everything I remember eating tasted amazing: My grannies meat paste, my Nanny's porridge and the mini Steak pies from The Well Cafe, which is now Buon Giorno's. They are desperately trying to make Motherwell modern, and so this isn't just a bakers, it's a patisserie. It is essentially the exact same as it used to be when I was a kid, except the chairs are tall and chrome and everything is slick and modern. The cakes are sooo good, we actually boast a lot of amazing cake shops in Motherwell, and this is no exception. They can be a bit pricey, but gorgeous and a real treat. The sausage rolls are yummy, if a little greasy, but you're kidding yourself if you think they would ever be healthy! To me, this fancy French named cafe will always be the place with the tatty chairs and mismatched tables, where I sat down every Saturday afternoon with my individual steak pie with Tommy sauce.
