I was a bridesmaid recently and after a five am wake-up for hair and make up, a long walk down the aisle, a few sneaky tears as my two friends got hitched, and a lot of toasting and dancing I was hanging out for cake. Okay, let's face it, I'd been hanging out for cake since the night before when as the bride got ready for bed and contemplated her future of wedded bliss I grilled her about the cake. 'What cake are you having? Oh, cupcakes, yum! What kind? Vanilla cake or chocolate? Vanilla, awesome! What colour is the icing going to be?' etc. etc. etc. Yes, the poor thing, I know, but I just love cake.
When we walked into the reception venue my eyes were immediately drawn to the tower of pink and white cupcakes in the corner. I decided it would probably be poor form to stick my finger in the icing, but they looked so good that I had a hard time resisting (don't worry, I managed). When I finally got my greedy little paws on a cupcake (or three) later on I was very impressed. Definitely worth the wait. Fluffly, light cake. Smooth, sweet icing. Good cake to icing ratio. It definitely wasn't all the champagne talking, these were some excellent cupcakes. A few days later I asked her where she'd got them from because I wanted to give whoever baked these lovely cakes a good review on Yelp so here I am. Way to go, Cupcakes by K! read more
