Hummingbird Bakery
Hummingbird Bakery is such a charming little bakery along Portobello Road. It's a very popular bakery judging by the number of people queuing up to buy the cakes and extremely pretty cupcakes.
The cakes are almost sold out by 4.30pm.
Giant chocolate chip cookies
I bought the Red Velvet cupcake which is just a plain cupcake with red colouring and vanilla frosting on top. It was nice and spongy and wasn't too sweet.
The red colour of the cupcake is a wonderful reflection of its name Red Velvet. I wanted to try everything! But of course I couldn't afford to buy so many and neither could I afford the calories! It's been raining so much in London and it's been so cold that I'd rather stay at home. It's almost summer yet temperatures are equivalent to those in Sydney where winter is reigning at the moment! Insane. Anyway, I'm hoping the weather will get better soon!
Meanwhile, the amount of cooking I've been doing in the past week is more than the average number of times I cook a year in Singapore! Cooking chronicles to come!

Summer in the UK is like Spring in the US, and Winter in Aussieland... =)
