Cupcakes: Peyton & Byrne

Peyton and Byrne at Heals
196 Tottenham Court Road
W1T 7LQ

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.
