The Little Cake Parlour, Pollokshaws Road
Well I tried to write a post about The Little Cake Parlour last week but hit a snag when we managed to eat both cakes before taking any photos of them. This should give you a good indication that the cakes are very tasty. That night we had a rich chocolate brownie and a gooey chocolate cupcake. Lisa (who owns and runs the shop) advised that the brownie was a new recipe she was trying out and that she preferred her own recipe. I'm looking forward to trying the old recipe then as the new one was v good indeed. With a wee bit of Brooklyn Cafe Ice cream, it would make an excellent desert to serve up to guests.
Actually, this what we intended to do at the weekend. We'd invited friends round for dinner on Sunday night so on Saturday I went along to The Little Cake Parlour to buy some cakes for serving up after the meal. This time, as a precaution I took all my photos, before I'd even purchased the cakes, preventing any eating mishaps robbing us of photos.
I decided to go for two lemon cupcakes, which have gooey lemon centres and very tasty iced tops, two chocolate chip Oreo cupcakes which come with tiny Oreos on top and two raspberry cupcakes with fresh raspberry icing and two real raspberries on top. (Un)fortunately, our guests had to cancel at the last minute and so I've been eating cupcakes after dinner the last three nights. I can't quite decide on my favourite - I'm usually quite a big lemon cake fan, as it has quite a light taste but the raspberry filling was also pretty tip top.
The shop doesn't just do single cupcakes though, you can order big batches for special events - like the MOBO awards recently did and you can also get larger cakes for any occasion made in any flavour you choose. With a changing selection of cakes each week and with your own flavour choice available to special order I think I might need to start doing more exercise while I think of something I'd like made. Mmmm cinemon flavour cupcakes . . . or mayple syrup flavour . . .

COMMENT FROM MARCH GIVEAWAY WINNER JENNIFER ALLAN
What a lovely prize to win - 12 fabulous cupcakes from The Little Cake Parlour! Decided to get them for Hubby's birthday (to give the inlaws the wow factor I tried to pass them off as my own - but they were not having any of it!!). I knew Hubby would not mind so I went for girly glamour cupcakes (he didnt seem to notice - LOL) - butterfly's, pink icing,glitter and chocolate cupcakes with oozing caramel inside! They really looked stunning. They went down a storm and tasted great - would recommend The Little Cake Parlour and I would like to say the girls were really lovely and helpful.
Unfortunatley not been able to take my Yoga lessons as have an injury - but have been in touch with them and they understand.
