Cuckoo'S Bakery

Oh dear!!
Pretentious Edinburgh at its worst!!
I've just paid over £7... YES, £7!!!!, for 2 " cupcakes" ( another Americanism we can live without!)
Clearly made with oil, so very greasy and with 2 inches of inedible, very sweet icing!
How awful!
No doubt, your average Edinburgh university student and the middle class of Edinburgh will lap it up!
Get over yourselves Cuckoo bakery and learn to bake proper stuff!!!

Please don't bother looking for new recipes on my account, I won't be back.

**Update** After placing this review, the owner took the time to call me and resolved the situation. Thank you for doing that. I am therefore increasing the rating that I gave. I'll post a final review once I've tested the cakes! **

Placed and paid for a fairly large order in the shop for cake and cupcakes for a birthday 2 weeks hence only to receive an email later telling me that they wouldn't fulfill the order as one of the cupcakes was a weekly special and they'd only fill that part of the order if I ordered a minimum of 12 of that variety of cupcake.

Cancelled entire order. If you want personal, flexible, understanding service, probably better going elsewhere.

Cupcakes are just simply amazing. Staff is attentive to each detail. Thanks for a friendly service.

Will recommend to a friend.
Will come back. :)

Coffee is genuinely good quality which is refreshing at a time when 90% of coffee shops are pretty average. Just tried the cupcakes. They look incredible and the taste incredible too.

The photo - they were that good...

We love a family brunch here. The food is delicious and always fresh. The price is a little more than some of the coffee shops around the stockbridge/cannonmills area but in our opinion it is well worth the little bit extra as we have never been disappointed in the food or the service. The cupcakes are always a winner and can be popped in a box to take home if you've filled up on lunch and coffee on your visit.

Make some of the best cupcakes in Edinburgh! Pleasant surprise is, when purchasing for takeaway, you get a very well constructed box which doesn't squash the cupcakes! Beware however, the cupcakes are deceptively large!

Exquisite cake and cupcakes and wonderful hot drinks menu.

What can I say, best cupcakes in town and what a selection. Hardest part is what to choose. Lovely Cakes as well. Nice staff.

Really great little bakery. Coffee really great and the cakes all look and taste amazing. The service was great too. The staff are really friendly and seem to genuinely like what they do.
