Cupcakes: Peyton & Byrne

Date of Last Visit: Saturday, May 31

The Victim: I bought ’em. Julie, Anna, Feathers, Jen ate them.

The Damage: £20 for 10 cupcakes

The Background: We’ve got tickets for Sex & The City, of course. And it’s Anna’s birthday. So I thought it would be nice to buy some birthday cupcakes and eat them in the dark. And hopefully not get caught.

The Cupcakes: It IS dark. And I can’t tell what sort of cupcake I have. Strawberry, maybe? It is super super sweet. So much so that I can’t finish it. But it’s so dark that I can’t really see the box and the bag the cupcakes came in. So I shut up and watch the movie with a warm (in a bad way), melty gooey strawberry cupcake in my hand. And then I eventually finish it.

The Verdict: Eh. Hummingbird and Crumbs and Doilies do it better. Everyone else seems to like the Peyton & Byrne cupcakes though. So maybe it’s just me. Or maybe no one has the cupcake experience that I do.

You’re not the only one! I thought the frosting too sweet and too copious and the cake dry.

I agree with you as well. I’ve had several types of cookies (as well as cupcakes) from Peyton and Byrne because they always look so tempting, but I’m never really satisfied. Too bland and dry.

I can see you didn’t dig the movie, either! I would rather have gone on a cupcake hunt myself.
