Bollocks to Baking: Candy Cakes


Candy Cakes have managed to conquer a niche market in the cupcakery world. They seem to do cupcakes that boys don't mind eating. Boys generally wouldn't be impressed if you bought them a box of pink sprinkled treats, but buy them GREAT BIG HUGE MAN CAKES and they're happy.

And these are mahooosive. And they're day-glo colours and look a bit like spaceships! And they have other treats like lollies and sweeties and stuff inside them! All really good stuff. It'll take you all afternoon to eat one, and then you'll have an almighty sugar crash afterwards, but the boys in your office will be very happy indeed.

You can find Candy Cakes all over London now. Goodge Street, Monmouth Street, Kingly Court and if you didn't manage to get to the giant cupcake yesterday, they've got a stall in Covent garden Piazza as well.

  1. The inside of this place is lovely too - just as colourful as the cakes.

  2. They're a bit *too* sweet for me, but every boy I know loves them.

    I think I prefer my cupcakes to be cupcakes.

  3. Boys should learn to be more like us, would make life so much easier. Not to mention prettier lol

  4. I prefer fairy cakes to cupcakes. Didn't we all grow up with fairy cakes? When did they become cupcakes? Shall we start walking on the sidewalk and wearing sneakers too?

  5. i'm not so keen on candy cakes - they're more like muffins with icing than cupcakes imo. much better to walk a bit further and go to primrose!

  6. Don't you worry, there's a whole host of bakeries and cupcakeries we've yet to write about. Some of them you'll love, some of them won't be your thing, but goodness knows there's enough of them to go around!

  7. The Covent Garden store is the most adorable thing in the world. Good luck getting in if you're tall, though- the ceilings are ridiculously low.
    There's an amazing crepe place next door that I wholly recommend :)
