You can hardly take two steps in London without bumping into a cupcake...
First stop - HummingBird Bakery!All aboard.
They've got special Halloween cuppies.
YIKES!
And they offer a daily special flavor...
In Covent Garden, you'll find Crumb Dollies and they've got cupcake trees!
If you're not crazy about cupcakes, you better leave now and that includes me. These lovelies are from Ella's Bakehouse and they reside in Selfridges Food Hall.
There's a lot of cupcake competition at Selfridges from Primrose Bakery as well...
Lola's Cupcakes has a cafe to boot
Boxes and boxes including what they call 'Tinies' and we call minis...
AND they have GIANT cupcake cakes! OMG
I have to admit I rather fancy these elegant numbers from Fiona Cairns...
Maybe it's the lovely flat tops that make these so appealing.I, for one, am not big on tons of fluffy icing sitting a top my cupcake (if I even liked cupcakes...)
Competing alongside all the cupcake concessions at Selfridges is Pierre Herme's macarons and chocolates. Frankly this is not doing PH any favors in my opinion. 
Out of sheer exhaustion I broke down and had a cuppa and a cupcake in Selfridges. (I did not eat the icing but the cake part was quite nice)
A late stop in Fortnum & Masons to pick up some Earl Grey et voila.

Harvey Nichols has a highly decorated set o' 6 beauties.
Plus they have a pop-up shop of special small cakes from British pastry chef formerly of the French Laundry, Claire Clark.

They're featuring her new book, 100 Perfect Desserts, which has been out for a bit in the US. Would you call these cupcakes on the cover?
Marks & Sparks' iced buns caught my eye as a possible antecedent of the cupcake or 'fairy cake' as the Brits call it.

Yesterday the 22 bus stopped at Duke of York Square and there was another open market . Of course there were cupcakes from Peggie's who does 'couture' and wedding cupcake towers.

I saw these adorable clown hats at Pollock's Toy Theaters in Covent Garden. Don't they look like the perfect hat to wear while you're eating a cupcake, if you happen to eat cupcakes that is...
Lots more to come on Pollocks later.

Surprise, surprise. Guess what?
French girls have a lot of the same obsessions as we do.
Yes they adore our cupcakes. And yes they put a wonderful spin on them that makes them almost unrecognizable...

Bagels? Oui! I have to drag over 12 sesame bagels to French girl from NYC. Who'd a thunk it?
SJP?
Mad about the girl. They can NOT get enough of Sara. I saw a post in Elle that SJP wore the same shoes to 4 events! What's up with that? They care more than we do peut-etre? 
Scarlett, another French obsession -can't get enough.
Gossip girl? Fahgettaboutit! They LURVE her.
They are every bit as crazily obsessed with losing weight as we are.
How do I know all this? I hang out at the Relay in the train station. You can read all the mags to your hearts content and even take pics!J'adore le Relay!
They love our coke. But regarde!I would drink coca too if Karl was on it - so chic.
And a silhouette toboot.
Drawing by Soledad - Elle They adore l'iPad aussi...
Et les chiens...
Hello Kitty? Surement oui
The obssession to make DIY macarons has become universal. But who offers a box with kitchen thermometer and a pastry bag? The French do that's who. I know because I bought this set for all of 12 euros at the musee Arts Decoratif of all places. 
Even though the French don't want you to take pictures...
They are out there shooting up the whazoo just like us.
Loving chocolates is a universal, but who makes the best chocolat?.jpg)
The Eiffel Tower belongs to all of us. Do you know Australian photographer Carla Coulson living in Paris? She has a new book out, Paris Tango full of her gorgeous Paris photos. Do drop by her blog, Carla Loves Photography.A BIG MERCI to PB readers for buying books and stuff at Amazon.com!
Because of you, I have gift certificate points to buy a NEW COMPUTER! That means many more macarons for you in Paris because of your kindness :)
And just a reminder*
my exhibit at the DC Alliance Francaise is coming up.
The opening is next Friday the 17th
6:30 -8:30
202-234-7911 xt31
2142 Wyoming Avenue NW Washington, DC 20008
There will be macarons.
BONNE WEEK-END PBers!!!

It's FRENCH GIRL'S BIRTHDAY!
All together now PBers give a shout-out svp.
HAPPY ANNIVERSAIRE FR GIRL!
Fr girl, I hope yr gonna finally light up those macaron candles of yours on top of the frigo...
Will certaines personnes will be making mini-madeleines for their B'day?
I know for sure certaines personnes will eat comme habitude, a huge hunk of beurre with a petit morceau of toast for petit dejeuner on their B'day...
How certaines personnes fit into those skinny jeans is beyond me...
If I had my way, I'd give you these tiny Chanel shorts as a presie...They even have yr initials on the buttons!
But since you're addicted to bows...
Especially bows...
From Paule Ka...
I'm sending you a virtual PK bow headband from Le Bon Marche...
Will you be swooping down on Pierre Herme this year?
I know you'd rather have a cupcake from Magnolia Bakery...
So here's a virtual cuppie for you...
OK, this Cassis cupcake will have to do...
