Yet another cupcake shop has opened in London but this time with a twist!
Sweet Couture are stockists for Selfridges and Liberty and produce amazing mini bite size cupcakes and sweet treats. Sweet Couture cupcakes are just enough to savour the tastes and delights of different flavours and the ever-changing menu keeps you checking back to try their new concoctions.
The inclusion of the word ‘couture’ summons up obvious fashion connotations and makes sense when you see the boutique style shop in it’s period building surroundings. The minuscule shop is located just …

London is swarming with cupcake shops, some good some bad. Bea is a cute if somewhat dark café that doesn’t look very inviting from the outside but is packed full of sugary treats once you …
