cupcake sale for great ormond street

LOLA's and Morgan Stanley raised a huge sum of money for Great Ormond Street Hospital last Friday!  They sold hundreds of delicious freshly baked cakes to hungry Morgan Stanley employees and sold out in 45 minutes.  What a fabulous idea.

vida e caffé

Have a coffee with your cupcake! Our favourite South African coffee shop has finally come to London's Regent Street.

To celebrate, we have teamed up with vida to offer a free coffee with every LOLA’s cupcake box! *.  

Vida’s unique selling point is its Portuguese pedigree. Couple that with consistently great espressos and espresso-based caffés and a great atmosphere created by their energetic staff (msizi, sele, thabo, sikilela and vuyani) who have come over from South Africa. They are streets ahead of the normal coffee shop experience!

vida e caffé regent street is open 7 days a week from 07h30. 

the address is: unit 8a, 43-69 regent street, W1B 4DY – 200m’s from piccadilly station/circus.

bumpkin birthdays

Bumpkin in Notting Hill and South Kensington have just launched their superb kid’s birthday party service “Bumpkin Birthdays”. Parents no longer need to dread the prospect of planning a young child's special day, and can stop worrying about marker pen ending up on living room walls or cup cakes down the side of sofas at home. The parties will be hosted in the spacious and child friendly private dining rooms every Friday and Saturday from 3-5pm at either location, where the kids and their chaperones can enjoy the celebration in a relaxed and memorable environment. 

All birthday cakes are provided by ‘LOLA’s (yours truly!)  so if you needed a reason to get in touch with Bumpkin, you have it!

we welcome in its successor and need your help to decide!  we were feeling very creative this month, and the options are....

1) a flourless chocolate brownie cupcake with a hi-hat marshmallow icing.

all in a days work...

our cupcakes are carefully packed into very convenient and easy cupcake couriers (now for sale through LOLA's for a limited period only!).  We deliver fresh to Selfridges and Harrods every morning before 9am (yes its a very early start for us....)


the cupcakes are replenished in the display a few times a day!  It looks amazing in the end, but its seriously hard work making it look this good...










once you have decided what you'd like, a very helpful assistant at Harrods picks the cupcakes for you, wraps each one to protect it and boxes it in their gorgeous packaging.







pirate birthday

a very special birthday for mohamed al-fayed's nephew called for very special cupcakes.  now, while we dont normally draw on cupcakes because they're baked and iced fresh every day - we just couldn't resist these!  plus - the party was held at harrods, the latest home of lola's cupcakes.
