I ordered a 12 inch red velvet cake for our Ruby Wedding Anniversary celebration. It was delivered to the hotel exactly when I had asked, and tasted delicious. I would very highly recommend Cuckoo's for a special cake for a special.occasion.
NB I did not go to Cuckoo's, the cake was delivered to me,!

I ordered a 21st birthday cake for my daughter - salted caramel and chocolate - and it was delicious. Although her address is a bit tricky to find, delivery went smoothly and the whole experience was stress-free - efficient but with a personal touch. Thank you!

I have been going to cuckoo's bakery for years. They are definitely the best cakes in town. I stay local to the store in Bruntsfield, and it’s where I go when I want to treat myself or a friend. I always look forward to their seasonal cakes.The team are very creative, and the cupcakes taste sensational. The staff are always lovely and friendly too.

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!

Cuckoos Bakery provided an outstanding service from first contact to home delivery. A beautifully crafted cake for a special birthday party. Complimented by everyone in the company–including the party venue staff. Superb! I could not recommend this independent bakery highly enough.
