Cuckoo's Bakery

incredibly delicious cupcakes! My partner and I chanced upon this bakery when our go to cupcake place in Edinburgh was closed. honestly we were shocked by how tasty they were! We got 1 toffee cupcake initially, we were hooked and ended up trying almost all flavours! I have to say the best was the award winning strawberry cheesecake cupcakes!! So irresistible that we returned the next day for more to share with my family before leaving Edinburgh (and they loved it too)! The staffs were super friendly too! :)

Was looking for a bakery that was close to my son's dorm and came across this wonderful place . I live in Canada so I needed a bakery that didn't charge delivery and their cakes to be different and delicious ! I sure lucked out . They have not disappointed me . Ordered from them 3 times in less than 6 months . All his classmates loved it ! When I go visit I am definitely going to stop by and taste one myself . 🥰

Absolutely delicious!! I’ve been meaning to go hear for a while and now I am so glad I did. We were greeted by a welcoming and friendly member of staff. She described with detail each cupcake which we enquired about. Since so many sounded lovely we decided to get 6 of them. They have also recently won an award for their cheese scones so I had to get one. The cupcakes were put in a nicely branded box. I was surprised how tasty these cupcakes were. The standouts were the Nutella cheesecake, which had amazing texture and cheesecake filling was wonderful, and the Christmas pudding which was so deliciously indulgent. When I took a bite of the Nutella cheesecake I said to my wife, “this could be the best cupcake I’ve ever tasted”. Then the following day I tried the Christmas pudding which made me question my original statement. The gingerbread cupcake was also excellent! As per recommendation I heated the scone up slightly and had it with some strawberry jam which was also very nice. Cupcakes are the winner though! Perhaps on the slightly expensive side but when they taste that good I don’t mind paying that little extra. I’ll 100% be back!

I have gone to his bakery on many occasions because their cakes and brownies are the best in Edinburgh (in my humble opinion). The flavours are creative, thoughtful and unique. There is always something for everyone - cake flavours, cookies, brownies and scones. You get a lot for your money in terms of portion size, flavour and decoration. The staff are always very friendly, appear happy at work and authentically engage with customers. We hired Cuckoos to do our wedding cakes in June 2019 and the whole experience was fun (and delicious!). The wedding coordinator, Sophie, was so enthusiastic and actively helped us hone our flavours and designs. We had full creative control and Sophie let us get very creative. So much so, we went for 3 cakes, 2 sets of traybakes and 6 gluten free cupcakes (and 6 cupcakes for ourselves incase we were dancing too much to eat!). At the tasting they mocked up 6 cupcakes (some with flavours we'd chosen and some inspired by our flavour choices). The tasting was fun and we had undivided attention in the store. We could feel Sophie's excitement when they came out and it was infectious! The cakes were STUNNING. People still bring them up and talk about how delicious they were. I'm no Mary Berry so I won't describe the taste/consistency but I will say that everyone at the wedding tucked in and I was getting messages days, weeks and months after about them. Cuckoo's did all the delivery, set up and provided stands, etc. They did such an amazing job, I can't sing their praises high enough. Plus the value for money in terms of wedding cakes was better than anywhere else we had seen - and that was based on ALL our cakes versus one tiered cake form elsewhere. Five stars as a customer. Five stars as a Bride.

Finally an award winning cupcake that tastes like it deserves gold! The cake was moist with a small amount of crumb and not overly sweet and the frostings suited the different flavors perfectly. We couldn’t decide on a favorite and it was difficult enough to choose just 4 from their seasonal flavors and rotating specials. I would recommend grab a few and share with some friends; you will want to try them all!
