The Hummingbird Bakery specialise in lush cupcakes with the
sweet and fluffy taste that denotes American wholesomeness. Inspired by good
American baking, the kind that is generous in frosting (two thirds sponge to
one third frosting) and uses the very best quality, hard to find ingredients
unsparingly. Real, full fat butter, whole milk and overwhelming frosting
produce cakes that are indulgent and fulfilling.
A real treat and a real pleasure, Hummingbird cupcakes are
also beautiful to look at. With a home made feel (each cupcake is made fresh on
site) and decorated with a sense of fun and lovingness. Pastel coloured
frosting and a cupcake called ‘Red Velvet’, with a red sponge adds to the
luxurious feel of these cakes. One will pause (only briefly) to admire these
delights before revelling in their big-hearted plentifulness.
Here, at the Vauxhall Fashion Scout we are enjoying
Hummingbird’s treats in the Media Lounge. Miniature cupcakes offer a little
treat and serve to inspire or big, hearty cakes offer a moment of undivided
indulgence.
With the rising popularity of cute, frosted cupcakes
Hummingbird’s creations are very fashionable making the collaboration with
Vauxhall a great match.
