I have not come across Flavourtown Bakery before my recent trip to Fulham last weekend, but I think I recognised their cakes on a visit to Selfridges awhile ago. Flavourtown Bakery bake cakes, cupcakes, cookies, brownies, and other items that they can deliver across London or can serve from their shop in Fulham (near Parson's Green tube station). Their Fulham shop opened up at the end of December 2017 and has been serving the area (and London) since, and this is their first shop.
The rainbow cakes and cupcakes are their trendy item, and they seem to specialise in this the most. In fact, one of the cupcakes that I bought was one of the little unicorn cupcakes because it looks very cute. The unicorn cupcake is made using their funfetti sponge recipe, and it is a vanilla sponge with sprinkles (hundreds and thousands) added to the mixture in order to create a colourful sponge.
Their shop was selling all sorts of cakes, cupcakes, brownies, and cookies as well as drinks. They had a few offerings for Father's Day, including a cupcake with a mustache.
The award-winning peanut butter cupcakes do look spectacular, and I understand that this is something special to this shop. This is probably a musy-have for peanut butter fans, but sadly I am not one of those.
Instead, I opted for the unicorn cupcake, chocolate cupcake, carrot cupcake, and a vegan raspberry cupcake. The vegan cupcake was a good alternative but less sweet than the other cupcakes, but the texture was very much the same. I loved the cute unicorn cupcake, but my favoruite has got to be the carrot cupcake.
It's a little bit expensive, but the cupcakes really do go the extra mile for the "wow factor". They're decorated beautifully, which is evident in the photographs above. In terms of taste, they are not my favourite London cupcake. The icing is a little bit on the oily side and not as sweet, though I am also not a fan of the sickly-sweet cupcakes either (Primrose Bakery is my favourite London cupcakery as I think they get the mix just right). If you're looking for an awesome cake with an emphasis on a great design and something not too sickly, then Flavourtown Bakery is the one for you.
