Try an Elvis Presley Cupcake @ the Buttercupcake Shop
Since I’ve tried Ella’s cupcakes, the others taste terribly bland. A pretty colour and sugary stars are not enough to make a good cupcake.
Strolling through Westfield, one really intrigued me. Elvis Presley? Stop, turn back. Banana cake with a peanut butter icing. I’m not a big fan of the latter, but there is no way I can resist such a strange combination. After all, I have a reputation to think of!
And well, well, what a surprise! A lovely texture, very moist – reminds be of my childhood, cakes in the kitchen, fragrant, a teatime kind of treat. Comforting, not just pretty. Fantastic icing, a touch of sugar to temper the peanut butter. The kind of cake you’d like to steal the recipe of, bake it on a rainy Sunday, serve it with a Souchong.
A cake to take home.
Mmmmh. Really should get a few more to enjoy.
Mmmmh. I probably will have to come back The chocolate-zucchini is out of stock but quite tempting. Oh, and what about the bounty, wouldn’t that be good too?

Thanks for the recommandations – that will help me choose next time, I always hesitate forever! Sticky toffee pudding, oooooooh. Must-have-that one…
Buttercup are one of my favourite cupcakeries in London – their vanilla is to die for – lots of flecks of lovely vanilla pod in their cakes. My husband highly recommends the chocolate one also. We tend to visit the one in Kensington as it has the whole range and you can walk their through Hyde Park/Kensington Gardens working off the calories!
I’ve not tried the zucchini or the sticky toffee pudding ones yet – both on my “to do” list!
