Caketastic: It's National Cupcake Week!

By Cate Sevilla

Hallelujah! This week is National Cupcake Week in the UK, and while it may seem that every damn week is National Cupcake Week, for the next five days we’ll be celebrating all things related to the cakes of the cup variety.

While the fetishization of these little cake and the concept of baking has become a bit Stepfordy and obsessive – there’s no denying the popularity of cupcakes, or how much the BitchBuzz team adore them.

Across the UK, there are plenty of ways for your to excercise your baking and cupcake making skills.

The Make Lounge have an incredibly popular cupcake decorating workshop held at their shop in London.

Mums Who Bake also hold cupcake decorating classes in Milton Keynes , where you can learn how to decorate both normal and Christmas cupcakes.

Or, if you’re too bloody lazy to learn how to decorate or even bake your own cupcakes, Cakes To Your Door are more than happy to deliver anywhere in the UK for a mere £48.

In addition to giving you some of our favorite cupcake recipes, we’ll also be featuring some of our favorite cupcake bakeries!

Stay tuned – there will be plenty of cupcake goodness this week. We just hope you didn’t decide to go off sugar and carbs this week....

OOOH! I don't love anything more than cupcakes. My favourite in London are from a place called Buttercup. Does anyone agree with me? http://www.buttercupcakeshop.co.uk/

They are a bit pricey but worth it if you want to indulge, the little stall in Westfield Shopping centre I think taste better than the ones from the actual shop. Not sure why this is.

I am head of The Anita Kaufmann Foundation whose mission is to educate the public not to fear people with epilepsy. Purple is the color of epilepsy. We have The Great Purple Cupcake Project where cupcakeries world wide bake purple cupcakes the week of March 26th which is PURPLE DAY a global epilepsy awareness day. I invite all cupcakeries to join us!! Check out our web site http://www.akfus.org. Thanks!
