As much as I am a huge summer girl, I love the later part of the year for all the fun holidays and festivals that happen and since Halloween is not far away now, I thought it might be time to start featuring some Halloween products! I have a few more to photograph this weekend so next weeks posts are going to be very halloweeney themed!

This first post is food - I love to work with The Hummingbird Bakery, everything they sell is always super yummy and amazing. This time I have six of their Halloween themed cupcakes which will be in stores until 2nd November so there's still lots of time to go and pick some up - I would definitely suggest you go and get some, even if you just have one, they are so yummy!! As soon as I opened the box the amazing smell filled the whole kitchen and I had to get in quick to photograph them and choose what I wanted before they all got eaten haha. Obvs I was drawn straight to a chocolate one partly because I haven't had chocolate cake from Hummingbird before but mostly because it was covered in edible glitter! It was light and fluffy and delicious and as with their big cakes there was also a perfect icing to cake ratio. Its become my favourite flavour from them! Can't wait to eat another one - definitely going to try to save a red velvet one too!

As well as these cupcakes, they have mini Halloween ones which are so super cute and big cakes like the last one I posted about plus they have a pumpkin pie in which I will have to go an try, I've never had anything like that before!

LIFESTYLE: Red Velvet Cake By The Hummingbird Bakery

Thursday, 9 October 2014

I probably should have just titled this : The best cake you have ever tasted. I was originally meant to get this cake for my birthday back in August but I ended up being so busy and not having time to pick it up until a few weeks after so I called up the lovely girls at bakery and had the "Happy 21st Georgina" Changed to "Georgina Does" so that I could still feature it here on my blog!

Now let me tell you how good this cake is! It was an 8 inch cake - which on the site says for 10-12 people. I brought it home on the Friday, had a slice for myself which was wonderful, went to Andrews for the weekend, which left 3 cake eaters at my house - my dad and both my brothers. I came home on the Sunday to less than a 1/4 of the cake left - Which I immediately claimed for myself putting a "Do Not Eat" sticky note on it so that I could finish the rest haha. I can see why they got though it so quickly, it is such a yummy cake with the perfect cake to butter cream ratio! I also love that red velvet is a cream cheese butter cream which makes it not so sickly sweet.. mmm so good! Isn't red velvet just the best style of cake around and The Hummingbird Bakery definitely do the best one I've tasted!

The process of ordering online looks super easy with step by step of what size, how your was the crumbs on top and a text box to write out the message for the top, plus you can choose super cute decorations for £1.25 to put on the top but when I got mine I called up and ordered that was which was just as easy! The girls there were great since I had to keep changing the pick up day! I finally popped into the Soho store picked it up and took it home!

I could really do with another slice right about nowwww!
