The popularity of cupcakes knows no bounds, probably because the choice of flavours and decorations is seemingly endless and they are perfect for any occasion. So the selection on show here is just a drop in the ocean. Then, of course, there is also the giant cupcake, which is so big it is made up of four layers sandwiched with buttercream and then decorated.

Mini cakes range from the smaller versions of classics such as Victoria sponges, coffee and walnut cake, carrot cake and lemon drizzle, etc, to the slightly larger ones which can be made from fruit or sponge and covered with fondant icing – like mini celebration cakes.
