History
Established in 2006.
At buttercup we have a real passion for fresh baked treats, especially cupcakes and cakes. We start by using the finest ingredients then we hand-make our creations...no assembly lines, no extended shelf-life.
Donna, our founder, has been baking since the age of 8 when she created "Joy Cake". Over the years, she has shared her goodies with family, friends and colleagues in each the various places she has called home: California, New York, Mexico, Paris and currently London. Buttercup, London's first cupcakery, was born in 2006.
As we've grown, we've taken on staff from around the world and expanded our offerings, including brownies, birthday cakes and wedding cakes- always made by hand and with the aim to be "seriously addictive". We were the first UK retailer to introduce ice cream sandwiches, and even wrote the first book on them.
We bring you our most-popular American recipes as well as sneaking in a few of your favourite British adaptations. Give us a try today!
