Candy Cakes
Where: Candy Cakes @ Covent Garden
With: Kalam
Why: Trendy. Fun. It’s a mini cake!
Verdict: The ‘candy’ part of Candy Cakes has to mean the way the icing is set up like a hard shell topping. I ordered a lemon & poppy seed, while K had a chocolate cupcake. My cake was a bit dry, but not annoyingly so. I did not really enjoy the topping. Unlike a frosted/iced top as I am used to, this was hard and flaked off in clumps when stabbing with a fork.
My lemon-colored topping had no lemon essence. It was merely a candy colored coating – and therefore, it lives up to its name.
I also tried K’s chocolate cake. While delightfully chocolate flavored, it also was a bit dry.
Aesthetically, the sherbet green walls were both fun and obnoxious after a while. But I would definitely stop in with a friend at another time to try it again.
Anyone up for cake?
