Cuckoo's Bakery in Edinburgh

Yesterday we went to Cuckoo's Bakery in Dundas Street because I've been wanting to try it for a while. I was told about them when their website went up and have looked over it since they opened on Valentines Day this year.

I absolutely loved how kitchy it was inside and how homely it all looked. The owner chatted to us for a while and explained it took a while to find the display case they use for their cupcakes but I'm glad they held out. Its a large haberdashery unit with glass to let you see the cupcakes inside.

The cupcakes were delicious too - I had an Elvis which was banana and chocolate chip base with a peanut butter frosting. Absolutely delicious.The cake was a touch denser than I was expecting but the peanut butter frosting was absolutely beautiful. There was a huge amount of choice on offer and I was very torn as to which cupcake to choose. Ultimately I brought home a Black Bottom Cupcake and  Red Velvet to munch on with my friend later.

We ate the 'leftover' cupcakes this morning after breakfast and were really impressed at how good they still were 24 hours after we bought them. The Black Bottom had the delicious surprise of gooey chocolate cream in the middle. Always a winner with me.

Needless to say, I loved their cupcakes at Cuckoo's Bakery. Easily the best cupcakes I've had from a bakery in Edinburgh and I'd heartily recommend them.
