Humble Pie Bakery

I’ve been staying in Bothwell for a couple of weeks now (house sitting, I haven’t suddenly came into a windfall!) and have had the great pleasure of sampling some gorgeous cupcakery from this wee bakery on Bothwell’s lovely Main Street.
Now, as an amateur baker myself, I’d like to think I know my cupcakes. I bake from the Hummingbird Bakery books, and they always turn out fantastic. Having visited said bakery myself and got some dee-​licious cakes, I can say that they are the best so far, but closely contended by this lovely little delight.
The shop itself can seat a couple of tables of people. I am yet to sit in, but will do so one day for sure, as they sell Spanish hot chocolate that smells awesome. They have trays of different cakes every day. We sampled some marshmallow cupcakes, which, I have to say, are sweet beyond description, but bloody fabulous. You could easily share one between two and be satisfied (although I didn’t, and was satisfied moreso).
I just love everything about the place. I had no time to bake for visitors coming around today so I just went up and bought a box of 9 mini cupcakes, bite sized sponge topped with a peak of butter cream icing dyed vibrant shades of turquoise and pink, sprinkled with iridescent glitter. Gorgeous, cute as buttons, and went down a treat with the guests.
The cupcakes are around £2.25 and the mini ones can be bought for £7.50 for a box of 9. Pricey perhaps, but in my opinion, you can never put a price on a good cake.
