Free Range Fairies

Being an American, when I came over here I was in search of the perfect cake. It’s my vice birthday & wedding cake, my favorite. But what was this hard sugar paste they covered all their cakes with here? And why can’t even buy cake mix here (although that has changed and now you can buy 1 flavor!) Most of my international friends agree that cake icing here is excessively sweet. Not everyone has the time for making cake. Finally, I found that waitrose made a tasty cupcake with American-​style icing. Still, the cake was dry, the icing though flavorful, was artificial, and left my tongue coated with vegetable fat. Then I heard of hummingbird café. I thought it was a dream come true, until I tasted; cake-​dry, icing-​tasteless, pricestupid. Luckily, I happened upon a girl shopping for supplies and fell in love with her cupcakes. Not just was I thrilled with the fact that she was a die-​hard vegetarian who used only free-​range and organic ingredients, but her price is nothing compared to the rest of the rip-​off ventures popping up and around. As for the taste, well that’s what I’m talkin’ ’bout! Moister than moist, (try her double chocolate chip made with Green and Black’s 80% cocoa)! Love the icing, just like mom’s (butter, sugar, skim milk, vanilla). Finally! Hope she’s be able to compete with the numerous copycat cupcakes popping around with big budgets. Only we can help.
