Buns, Ireland's first cupcake bakery

Well we have been out of the Irish cupcake loop! Thanks to the blog little birds eat, which posted the photo below, we found out about Buns, which bills itself as "Ireland's First Cup-Cake Bakery" and seems to be a custom/home-based business. Living in New York, we have no idea if that's true, but we'll take their word on it for now.



from the Irish Times:

Home-made by Kildare based baker Paula Coyne, these luxury cup-cakes come in ten tantalizing varieties, among them Hummingbird, Butterfly and the deliciously decadent double-choc buns.

Perfectly presented and decorated with the likes of edible flowers, coconut dusting and fresh cherries, they are free from artificial preservatives and colours, packed instead with lashings of natural, fresh naughtiness.

Even the packaging is both wholesome and pretty, with a half-dozen coming in recyclable cardboard boxes tied up with ribbon.

Our answer to the cup-cake craze that swept the US, thanks to the likes of New York's Magnolia bakery.


Fun flavors include:

Hummingbird Buns
Spiced banana and pineapple cake topped with cream cheese frosting and decorated with a pineapple flower.

Butterfly Buns
