After passing by the colorful displays of Candy Cakes at all 3 outlets every other day, I have pop into one just to see what's the fuss all about.
There is also the Hummingbird Bakery, but it's American. Heee. So I shall veer away the same manner I avoid Starbucks in London. I'm very suspicious of desserts that look really good- they usually don't taste like anything I'd imagined. Least of all, cupcakes and macarons. Not easy to get good ones.
I sat on a little stool in the store and had a slice of cake and a shake. I just wanted to get out of the cold streets and get some warmth. I don't have a sweet tooth, so ummmm.....I find them a little too sweet. Don't want to eat all that cream/icing thingy. The marshmellows are nice!
But yes, the confectionery looks really really good. If I'd gotten cakes like that for my 18th or 21st birthday party, I'd so feel like a princess.

oooo so nice. like computer game. there's one pastry game with lots of pretty cupcakes like these. i always wondered if there are bakeries selling them. those in the pics are pretty close.
i usually steer clear of cakes with heaps of icing too. esp cup cakes that look like there's more icing than cake. but suziewong has lobang to some fabulous cupcakes, and now i am a convert (sort of). on holiday, be silly and reckless and try it just to see what the fuss is all about lor.
those are good to look at but I don't like eating cakes with icing like that. :(
tuti: loosk much better than they taste!
sinlady + jomel: i realize they usually don't taste great. i like the cake part and that isn't too good. i can't bring myself to eat the icing!
