Roll out the red velvet…cupcakes! Move over Magnolia, another little corner bakery is just across the Atlantic. The Hummingbird Bakery brings the taste of American baked goodies to London with two branches on Portobello Road and South Kensington. The tantalizing smell will have passer-bys floating on a cloud of frosting and into this dream place for cake lovers. The interior may be a little too pink, but you will be distracted with the sight of the sinfully sweet cupcakes. The friendly staff wears baseball caps and t-shirts with the bakery’s logo. Hummingbird is all about the Red Velvet cupcake- a little piece of heaven in the form of blended chocolate and vanilla with red food coloring and cream cheese icing. Let your sweet tooth sink in.
