The Hummingbird Bakery (South Kensington)

• So this particular hummingbird bakery was on my way to college
• The look of the bakery from the outside is very formal and elite
• Their chocolate flavored section of the cup cakes is simply out of this world
• The red velvet ones are totally fab
• I'm a big fan of cupcakes and The Hummingbird Bakery (South Kensington) is my personal favourite
• The carrot cake cupcake is absolutely delicious
• They also have seasonal flavours like pumpkin cake which are really great
• The chocolate cupcake is way too rich for me
• The vanilla cupcake with frosting however is one which I always get
• Hummingbird is one of the places in London you absolutely have to go to if you love sweets and cupcakes
• The Hummingbird Bakeries are an absolute must for London's pastry and cake aficionados
• The South Kensington bakery on Old Brompron Road is smart and busy with a somewhat American feel
• Gazing at the offerings in the counter is bound to wake up your taste buds
• My particular delight is the chocolate and raspberry cheesecake brownie
• They specialise in cakes of all sorts with a heavy american influence
• They do nicely a carrot cupcake served with a nut on top
• It's all very heavy though and most of their products are coated in thick
• The banana and chocolate whoopee pie with peanut butter icing is sinful
• Their execution of the red velvet cupcake is nothing short of heroic
• I would recommend sharing a cake between two they are surprisingly filling and utterly decadent
• While its prices are quite high with the average cup cake priced at around 3.50 pounds they truly are the best at what they do in London
• My tips for someone who hasn't been is to expect a line
• You realise how good it is when you go away and try other ones that taste way too synthetic or plastic
• Their Carrot Cake is better try it
• I like to call this the hidden gem there and my perusal favourite is the Black Bottom cupcake
• Chocolate cake with bits of cheesecake and chocolate chunks topped off with their famous cream cheese icing is what I would like to call Heaven on a Plate
• The hummingbird bakery is a nice very small hard to find bakery in south kensington just 15 meters ahead of the lambourghini show room
• The cupcakes are very famous though i dont like them i found them very sweet and i felt that the ratio of icing to the cake was much higher
• The red velvet cakes that they are famous for are worth the hype
• It's just a stones throw away from South Kensington station so it is really easy to get to
• Probably among the best cupcakes you can get
• This Hummingbird Bakery shop is in an ideal location close proximity to South Kensington tube station and the nearby museums
• There's indoor and outdoor seating as well to enable you to spend some quality time with your sugary delight
• For October the sticky toffee pudding cupcake is not one to miss
• At least the quality is almost always consistent
• One thing I don't really get is that they have a 'cupcakes without' range
• For a treat it is worth paying a bit more
• It would be nice if they had more places to sit in the bakery so that you can actually sit and enjoy the cakes with a cup of tea
• The cafe in South Kensington is always full and this simply explains the quality and taste of the baked gods
• I always eat the red velvet cupcake with a nice latte
• The black bottom is another favourite
• It is a chocolate cupcake with a cheesecake centre
• Everything about the cafe is great and the cakes are incredible as well
• If you have a sweet tooth and a craving for delicious cupcakes there is no where else one would go
• This should not affect the moisture of the cake if it is made well and on the day
• This cute and cosy cafe is located close
• Have to say I am not a massive cupcake fan and they are definitely not my first
• Hummingbird's cupcakes are the exception
• I really like their chocolate cupcake with chocolate buttercream and vermicelli
• The sponge is fairly moist and the buttercream is not overly sweet
• Great bakery with top quality cakes
• The red velvet is a highlight for me but I am always really impressed with the choice that's available
• Beautiful dark chocolate cake with smooth and sweet cream cheese frosting
• I had to pass on this as I was only going for take out
• A delicious and very tempting selection of cupcakes was on display and I wanted to try them all
• If the rest of the baked goods are anything like that
• I even bought some to take away delicious cupcakes and never had a woopie pie quite like it the red velvet was my favourite
• I visited pretty late in the evening and was hence not expecting to lay my hands on any red velvet cupcakes
• Nut themed cupcakes was not hard to get through
• The brownie was cake rather than crumbly brownie and hardly any red velvety flavor
• If your sweet tooth is itching for a fix
• The Salted Caramel cupcake was spongey and chocolatey
• With caramel frosting dotted with chunks of sea salt that add a nice crunch
• The buttercream was perfect not overly sweet
• The cupcake I enjoyed most of all was the famous Red Velvet
• The carrot cake is also very good
• Their cupcakes are not the pretty or cute ones
• No design at all but the taste is something to die
• The red sponge cake is soft not really very sweet
• The other cakes are pretty standard
• I have no idea why I thought I was eating ginger cake
