While wandering around The Lanes in Brighton we came across a shop that looked very similar to one we have seen in London. The shop, Angel Food Bakery, looks very much like The Hummingbird Bakery in London, a place we have raved about for their delicious red velvet cupcakes. The window displays and the interior decorations of the Angel Food Bakery are so reminiscent of The Hummingbird Bakery. When we looked at the flavors of the cupcakes and even the packaging we were convinced that the two were related. But as they say, the proof is in the pudding, and the cupcakes at Angel Food Bakery did not live up to those that we have had at The Hummingbird Bakery. The cupcakes we had in Brighton, red velvet and chocolate, were much drier than their equivalents at The Hummingbird Bakery. However, the frosting on those in Brighton was delicious. We don't know the relationship between the two places, if there is any, but the similarities are so striking that it is hard not to compare the two.

Have you tried the cupcakes from Crumbs & Doilies? The little stand in the market in front of Partridge's on the King's Road? They're really nicely done! I did a whole series on them...Hummingbird, Buttercup, Peyton & Bryne, Crumbs & Doilies...
No, we haven't tried those yet but it sounds like we should! Thanks for the tip!
