The Best Birthday Cake Delivery In London - London - The Infatuation

"Arrival time: same-day delivery depending on London postcode and opening times, or next-day delivery for other areas The Hummingbird Bakery is something of a destination for those obsessed with sweet treats and taking snaps of sweet treats. The South Kensington cafe—they also have locations in St John’s Wood, Victoria, Notting Hill, and Spitalfields—is packed with more fuschia surfaces than your average baby girl gender reveal calamity. And the cakes follow suit with colourful frosting and plenty of red velvet options. If you’re really looking to kick-start a sugar rush, get involved in the rainbow candy-filled piñata cake.

"The Hummingbird Bakery landed in Notting Hill in early 2004 to become the home of quality American baking in London. Today it has five branches across the city—in Soho, South Kensington, Spitalfield, and Islington in addition to the original in Notting Hill—and is famed the world over for its delicious cupcakes and other sweet treats and desserts."

I ordered two cupcakes from Hummingbirds outside of the striking appearance I think we can all agree the top half of cupcakes completely outshine the bottom half and that’s the only downer, it gets a bit dry on the bottom end, and that goes for all cupcakes produced (not targeting any specific brands). However, the selling point of a cupcake is the top half and The Hummingbird Bakery has multiple appealing options it’s tough to select one. If you are someone who has a sweet tooth similar to me It’s worth a shot.

One of the best red velvet cakes I’ve ever eaten! I bought a vegan red velvet cupcake and a slice of regular red velvet cake—the sweetness was perfect and the frosting was incredible! The cake was moist and delicious, though it was a bit pricey. I'd prefer getting a small red velvet cake from M&S for a similar taste at a better price!

5 out 5 would be best ever. This was great but not best ever. Would definitely return for more deserts when nearby. Visited recently and service was friendly and fast. Purchased a brownie and whoopie pie. Deserts were yummy and very happy with our purchase. Wouldn’t travel just for these but if I’m in the area would be happy to try other things.

I used to be a big fan of Hummingbird Bakery in South Kensington—it's been a go-to spot for indulgent, perfectly baked treats. Sadly, my latest visit fell short. The cake I ordered was dry, underwhelming and lacked the rich, moist texture I’ve come to expect. Far from the quality I’ve enjoyed here before. After seeing other recent reviews echoing the same sentiment, it’s clear this isn’t an isolated issue. For a place with such a strong reputation, this visit felt like a letdown and not worth the price. Really hope they bring back the quality they were once known for.

A super cute, quaint and humble grass-roots style British cafe nestled in South Ken whipping up incredibly yummy and gooey based grub. Delicious, I could continue to eat this all day, every day and incredibly addicted. Delicious, but expensive and leaves a hole in the wallet for sure. Support local businesses!

I'm absolutely shocked by the order Ireceived this morning I ordered a cupcake for my friend's birthday, and what I got was completely unacceptable -the cupcake was smashed upside down and had a hair on it. This wasn't just a mistake - it genuinely looks like it was done on purpose. I can't imagine what kind of person would treat a customer like this. I'm beyond frustrated and incredibly disappointed.

I tried once half year ago and I loved the red velvet. So I brought 10 cupcakes today. When I ate the first one, there is an unknown plastic strip inside the cupcake🤮 I will never eat again I hope I can give it zero stars.
