There’s nothing like indulging in a slice of cake and getting to enjoy some real, made-from-scratch icing. Sitting pretty in pink and covered with beautifully blossomed flowers, Peggy Porschen Cakes sits on the corner of Ebury Street and Elizabeth Street in London’s Belgravia, just minutes from Buckingham Palace. Oh, and they have the best icing ever. One bite into the red velvet cupcake and a reaction of “Oh my gosh this is SO good,” pretty much sums up how tasty their cupcakes are. It comes as a nice change from the fake tasting icing that comes on those desserts you pick up last minute for a party.

The street Peggy Porschen Cakes is located on should be nicknamed Flower Street because almost every store on it is draped with flowers on the outside. A pretty quiet street, with not a lot of traffic makes it the perfect place to enjoy a cup of tea with some sweets.

Whether you’re in the mood for a traditional slice of cake, a cupcake, macaron, or just want a cup of tea, Peggy Porschen Cakes is bound to have something to fit your taste. Just like the adorable exterior, the red velvet cupcake is to die for. I mean, what more could you ask for in a perfectly pink cake parlor? Peggy Porschen Cakes absolutely delivers on taste and aesthetic. Literally the one stop shop where you can enjoy a delicious cupcake and snap a cute photo for the gram in front of the parlor’s to-die-for storefront.

The best thing about the parlor’s location is that there are so many cool places nearby to see that are just a short car ride or walk away. So you can eat as many cupcakes as you want and not feel guilty about it because you can walk it off.

You can take a 16 minute walk to visit the Queen at Buckingham Palace, take a stroll in the beautiful Hyde Park (15 min. walk), or go see a play at the Apollo Victoria Theatre (10 min. walk). Cupcakes with cool places nearby to see? Doesn’t get any sweeter than that. The question now is: when are you booking your flight to London?
