I first came across your blog when looking for other food blogs and clicked on yours because I noticed you had the same last name as me... then I saw it was all about cake and was like oh my... r u my long lost sister?! Further proof being we both have unnaturally bright red hair...<br /><br />Anyway if you've got a min, check out my cakes, I promise they tasted as good as they look...<br /><br />http://tuck-box.blogspot.com/search/label/cupcakes<br /><br />http://tuck-box.blogspot.com/search/label/pigeonChristopher Murphyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09060628026401436320noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8808076487605477930.post-90510494878863878242011-02-02T22:06:22.797+00:002011-02-02T22:06:22.797+00:00@Manny - Ottolenghi is such a great place isn'...@Manny - Ottolenghi is such a great place isn't it! Yeah I know you were looking forward to going back to Sweet Couture ;)<br />I'll have look at Sarah Jane's blog about the cookies<br /><br />@Archies Mum - it is indeed. I have a couple of cupcake caddies that a friend brought me from the States but part of my blog is finding out how well they survive hte journey home too, but thanks :)I heart cupcakeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06898577388443071100noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8808076487605477930.post-41457070402508573432011-02-02T20:36:22.992+00:002011-02-02T20:36:22.992+00:00Isn't it disappointing when you've looked ...Isn't it disappointing when you've looked forward to something and it isn't what you expect. Ref taking your cupcakes home maybe you should invest in one of the new items that Lakeland are selling.

Such a shame about cupcake couture because the girl was really nice and friendly but my chocolate cake was just about edible, no more.

I may pop back to SC but get something small, I'm hoping it was a bad day. <br /><br />@Belle - it was just flavourless. Not a hint of vanilla - perhaps they used essence rather than extract? And the frosting was just too buttery. It's not just SC - I had cakes from Bea's and Ella's before Christmas and both were inedible. <br /><br />@Sarah Jane - indeed, you have to eat a lot of cupcakes to find the good 'uns! <br />Those cookies sound great - right up Manny's street<br /><br />@Ellie - it's just lovely isn't it. I really want to try the savoury food/salads as they look delicious but it's just too busy to get a seat. I may have to take a day off work and go!<br /><br />@Lou - I've been twice and both times have been superb - it really is a great shop. <br />Thanks for taking the time to comment, it's always very much appreciated, and I 100% agree - it's so disappointing paying for cake only for it to end up in the bin!I heart cupcakeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06898577388443071100noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8808076487605477930.post-31449903391591773812011-02-02T13:29:38.081+00:002011-02-02T13:29:38.081+00:00I have literally never had a bad experience with o...I have literally never had a bad experience with ottolenghi!
