Another sugarcraft showcase on Maison Cupcake – today it’s the turn of Konditor and Cook.

Valentines range 2014 by Konditor & Cook

Konditor and Cook were my nemesis en route to work in my former life. I couldn’t pass their Holborn branch without buying one of their muffins for breakfast!

If I tell you Peggy Porschen previously decorated cakes at Konditor and Cook that gives you a clue to their style. They’re most well known for their individually iced fondant fancies which are showcased here amongst their 2014 Valentine’s collection.

A lot of love has gone into decorating these cakes so pull up a chair and eat with your eyes…

Red Letter Box – £35
15 signature Konditor and Cook hand-decorated Magic Cakes are presented in a luxury red letter box spelling out your Valentine’s wish, sure to put a twinkle in your recipient’s eyes.

      Wow that is central. I remember some flats being built above Chancery Lane station and saying to husband “We should sell and move here instead” but never did. No doubt we’d have moved out by now with a family if we had.

    They are still miles ahead of many of their competitors. I love them because they are so arty and creative and they always keep evolving and coming up with clever ideas.

      I think they really have the fondant fancy nailed. And I like that they call them magic cakes!

    I love these cakes from Konditor and Cook. The first valentines day I celebrated with Mr Glam I had a box of these biked to Watford! Aaah the days I had money! We also ordered these for our wedding. Lemony, witty and delightfully colourful. GG

      Ah lovely, I hark back to Valentine’s Days past and say to husband “Why don’t you buy me jewellery anymore”!

      Konditor & Cook for wedding cakes is very stylish 🙂

      They’re a bit under the radar for some reason, very London centric. Their style is very distinctive and the bakeries are a delight.

      I would so cross the road to look in Konditor & Cook’s window. Luckily the one in Holborn was right by a pelican crossing 😉

    I have never heard of them before, is that bad? But, I agree with all the other comments that they look amazing! Karen

      Not at all Karen – they’re well known in London by people who’ve seen the branches but they’ve no celebrity/TV/Book presence so probably you’d not know about them unless you had visited the branches. I guess they concentrate on making great cake rather than being on the telly!!

    I used to work in London Bridge and would often walk past Konditor and Cook on my way to Borough Market for lunch. Such a fab range of pretty looking and delicious tasting desserts.
