From their first shop in Notting Hill's Portobello Road, The Hummingbird Bakery introduced London to the delights of American-style baking. The simple yet spectacular recipes for indulgent cupcakes, muffins, pies, cheesecakes, brownies, cakes and cookies, in this, their first and bestselling cookbook, ensured that the home cook could create some Hummingbird magic in their own kitchens too, wherever they lived. Now Tarek Malouf and the Hummingbird bakers have created a new edition of the book, fine-tuning their classic recipes and introducing eight new recipes.
With new recipes such as Sticky Fig and Pistachio Cupcakes, Hot Cross Bun Cupcakes, Mile-high Chocolate Salted Caramel Cake and Chocolate Cola Cake, this is the must-have book for cake lovers everywhere.
Tarek Malouf was born in London and studied at London and Los Angeles universities, where he discovered American desserts. After working for ABC News in the UK and enjoying American desserts on trips to the USA, he decided to set up The Hummingbird Bakery on Portobello Road. The Bakery's home-cooked cupcakes, pies, brownies and other high-quality American desserts were a huge success and the Bakery now has branches in South Kensington and Soho.

There are just so many delicious recipes in this book whether your new at baking or an old hand at it you'll find a favourite. Mine was the Ham & Mushroom Muffins. The only minus in this book is O wish both imperial and metric measurements were used. Otherwise do but this book it's excellent!
Every variation of cupcakes you can think of and more.
Lots of recipes i haven't seen before. Looking forward to trying them out. I think some of the cakes might be quite a challenge but they all look delicious
