An Inspirational Bakery in Cambridge


I happened by a bakery on Trumpington Street in Cambridge and noticed the beautifully decorated cakes in the window. What caught my eye first was the chocolate cake with the teddy bear wearing a graduation cap. I think graduation from University took place recently because it was the end of term last Sunday and lots of shops have graduation themes in their windows.

Anyway, I took these pictures and a video for my girl since she loves to bake and decorate cupcakes.

I have noticed there are several very nice bakeries in Cambridge. There is a french patisserie on Jesus Lane which is a 1 minute walk from Westcott House. One afternoon I will indulge in something decadent there with a cup of good coffee.

I have seen a Starbucks around the corner and I will have to go there to finally get a decent cup of coffee. All the coffee I have been served at the B & B and Westcott has been sludge.

    Wow! What pretty (and or cup) cakes! Do you think they made that teddy bear on top? The cupcake look so cute and easy to make with the icing thing you got me! If I could learn to make things like the bear, cake could be really cool!Sorry the coffee is horrid

    Tom would have been looking for the right coffee shop as well. Tea just doesn't cut it.

    Evie, I definitely think you could make these cupcakes! You are getting better every time. And I think the teddy bear would be bought — like the sugar flowers we put on the lemon honey hive cake.
