Crumbs & Doilies (Soho)

• I have come away with some firm favourites
• I think there is somewhere else to add to my list of old reliables
• Re owned by that annoying Jemma girl on London Live but early signs are that they&rsquo
• A mere hour and 20 minutes later I was inside Crumbs &
• I had already perused their many cakes online and I was a little disappointed they didn&rsquo
• I could only eat so much so perhaps it was best that it made choosing much easier
• I was impressed with what I had
• The slice of cake was light and not dry
• Though the dark chocolate icing was a little plasticky
• Good enough to tempt me back and see what they do with other flavours
• The first mention of the cupcake can be traced as far back as 1796 where cakes were often baked in the individual pottery cups
• Are usually topped with frosting or other elaborate decorations
• Well the tangible difference is the quality of ingredients
• What is less evident is the creativity and skill of the baker until you set foot in Crumbs and Doilies (C&
• D is the brainchild of the genius that is baking queen Jemma Wilson
• D and taken great interest since first falling in love with their red valvet cupcake at Partridge Market in West London all those years ago
• Each cupcake was distinctive
• The one that rules them all is undoubtably the Rolo
• D proves that cupcakes are for life and not just a phase
• One of the biggest regrets of my life was cutting this in half before trying to share with the man
• It was just the best texture and flavour combination and elation sensation ever
• The others were Eton Mess and Lemon &
• The guy behind the counter was friendly and the shop is a titchy little cute place on the way in to Kingly Court
• One of the best cupcakes in London
• The only thing that is not so good is the price
• Yet another impressive flat white in my coffee explorations around London along with perhaps one of the best slices of cake I've had recently
• My personal favourite is the salted caramel pretzel cupcake
• The chocolate sponge is so soft and moist accompanied by light salted caramel cream
• It's a shame that they don't have that many seatings so best to take away
• My birthday was coming up so I decided to order something sweet from Crumbs and Doilies to share with guests at my party
• Our usual cake vendor was closed for a special event
• Waiting for your cake eating partner to show up and cry with you over the lack of cake in your life
• Especially as the cakes there are not your typical British cakes
• My favourites were the Peanut butter and jelly (classic combination of sweet
• Biskoff (great texture) and the Banoffee (can't go wrong with banana+toffee)
• The cakes themselves were really moist with the frosting to cake ratio just right
• Nothing to do with a real grandma cake"
• A beautiful selection of freshly made cupcakes with large and mini sizes available to appease those who have difficulty choosing like me
• Crumbs & Doilies (Soho) is called Crumbs &
• The red believer was not as moist as I would have liked
• My favourite from my purchases was the apple crumble cheesecake though
• The cupcakes here are a little pricey
• The hot chocolate with really warm you up on a typical grey and cloudy day in London
• The only thing I wish is this was a little bigger and I could spend more time inside admiring and hogging some more cupcakes
• My sister and I are added to the Cupcake Jemma YouTube channel
• The flavour is perfect with the right balance of texture
• The buttercream is luscious and the cake is light and moist
• All of which are sound super appealing
• We also tried the Snickers brownie but were a tad disappointed as it was super hard at the bottom and we struggled to bite through it
• Choco and all of them were amazing for their presentation and taste
• The cupcakes are first class and won&rsquo
• The place is small not possible to host a group sitting so take away is your best option
• Don't expect to seat once the space is really small
