Thanks to Yelp, I found the branch of Konditor and Cook bakery closest to the theatre. The entire staff was very helpful over the telephone and via email as well as live chat. They delivered an elaborately decorated Curly-Whirly cake to the Globe right on time. My daughter and the other members of her troupe all agreed it was one of the best tasting cakes they'd experienced I am looking forward to visiting the store next month when we visit our daughter in London. The only reason I didn't give it five stars is because it was somewhat pricey with dollars vs. pounds. I would recommend this bakery for any American who has someone overseas in London and needs a cake for a special occasion.
