Daisy Cakes Bakes Shop
Deep down dark little Turnpin Lane, leading into Greenwich Market, which I will talk about in depth on another occasion,lies a dinky little pastel-pretty shop called Daisy Cakes Bake Shop.
It's tiny - so it's more the public face of a bespoke cake making service, but it does sell the odd gorgeous cupcake and cakey-slice as well as sugar roses for your own creations and a limited selection of decorating equipment. Cute Cath Kidston-esque cake stands and examples of the kind of cake that you can order for your special occasion line the window, as well as little sugar figures of brides and groomse - either standing or sitting with their legs hanging off the side of the top tier of your wedding cake. All in all, it's very pink indeed.
According to the website they bake everything on the premises. All I can say is that that shop must be like the Tardis out the back - or perhaps they're employing Ooompa-Loompas. They try to source locally, organically and ethically which is never a bad thing.
Don't expect this all to come in cheap - but you're paying for a unique service here, so it seems that you're paying for quality and individuality. I have never eaten a Daisy-baked cake - I would appreciate any comments from people who have.

I had the most lovely cupcake from there recently - and while my boyfriend was horrifed at the price, he still managed to eat it pretty quickly! I would really recommend it to all.
Yum. I'll go back and try one when I've remortgaged...
This is such a stupid shop, it is
over priced and over rated.
I just had a vanilla one today and it was GORGEOUS! My husband had a red velvet one and adored it! And they weren't that expensive - considering how beautiful they are!! Go try one quick

went back again this weekend and had a couple of delicious cupcakes (red velvet and a peanut butter one)! this is definately my favourite shop in Greenwich - perfect after a good stomp around the park!
Their cakes are the best ever. It's family run, with the owner or her mother serving. We had them make our wedding cake soon after they opened and have ordered bespoke christmas cakes and gift cakes from them.
They aren't cheap, but this isn't an off the shelf tescos fruitcake it's a handmade bespoke operation.Although in comparison to other artisan bakers the prices are reasonable. I can attest that the cakes from there are so good we already have friends and family looking forward to the christening cake we will be ordering from there soon.
I absolutely ADORE this shop. They not only sell the most beautiful little things for dotting around your kitchen, but they made my wedding cake (a top tier, and three tiers of different flavoured cupcakes) and did an amazing job. They were helpful, efficient, and just about the ONLY thing on my wedding day that happened on time. Service was excellent, and very personal. I really cannot recommend them enough to anyone who is looking for a shop to make an occasion cake. Be warned, they are not by any means CHEAP, but they are definitely not even close to the most expensive made-to-order cake place we looked at. Moreover, everyone raved about the cupcakes and cake, which were not only delivious, but deliciously beautiful.
It amazes me that people don't have any problem paying £2 for a coffee that takes 30 seconds to make but put their nose up at a cupcake that with baking, cooking and painstakingly decorating can take hours for one little batch!!
I have visited this shop and as a fellow baker, I think the cupcakes are great and so are the staff! This is a shop for people who appreciate artisan; the rest of you cheapos should go to ASDA!
