a few more slices of capital cake

I realise I haven't posted all the Capital Cake reviews I have in my virtual filing cabinet, so I'll be posting a few more. This realisation was prompted last week as I walked past a very closed-down Cox Cookies and Cake in Soho, having just a few days before seen that Mrs Marengo's (also in Soho) is no more. I had wondered how long sex could successfully sell cakes at CCC, but the baking landscape is poorer for the loss of such outrageous creations. And it's a real shame that Mrs M's is no more as it was a good bolt-hole for more than just cake and coffee - the recession is certainly taking its toll on small businesses. (It also makes me wonder if, like shoulder pads after the 80s boom, cupcakes will now start to shrink and become less powerful). I have deleted the relevant reviews, and hope very much that CCC and Mrs M's will soon be replaced by new, capital cake places.
