‘How do I love thee? Let me count the ways’ - for anyone lucky enough to receive The Hummingbird Bakery ‘Box of Chocolates’ this Valentines Day, the answer to this question will at the very least be ‘six’.

The six limited edition ‘Box of Chocolates’ cupcakes, featuring chocolates inspired flavours including Ginger, Strawberry Fondant, Chocolate Rose, Chocolate Praline, Brandy Chocolate, and Caramel Chocolate, offer Valentines Day romancers one of the most decadent ways to say ‘I love you’. The new range of cupcakes is available as a complete set only and come in a stunningly presented gift box. Once opened, the box reveals dark chocolate, creamy caramel and strawberry pink whipped butter cream frosting adorning the top of some of the most striking and indulgent cupcakes ever created by The Hummingbird Bakery.

The Hummingbird Bakery ‘Box of Chocolates’ is priced at £20 and is currently available for pre-order via The Hummingbird Bakery website (hummingbirdbakery.com). Orders will be available for collection from The Hummingbird Bakery’s three London outlets, which are located on Wardour Street, Portobello Road and Old Brompton Road, from Thursday 10th February through to Monday 14th February.

Every Box of Chocolates will be specially hand-baked and decorated to order on the date of collection to ensure complete freshness, a standard practice at The Hummingbird Bakery. To cope with expected demand, the bakery has made an unprecedented 1200 order slots available over the course of the four days leading up to Valentines Day and Valentines Day itself. Despite this, the bakery is advising customers to pre-order well in advance to avoid any possible disappointment.

Tarek Malouf, the founder of The Hummingbird Bakery, said: “At The Hummingbird Bakery we absolutely love Valentines Day and all the extravagant gestures that go with it. It’s a time of year when people like to show their romantic side by giving something that’s unique, handcrafted and personal, and that’s why our Box of Chocolates makes the perfect gift.”

He continued, “This year I’m especially proud of what our team have achieved in creating a range of chocolates-themed cupcakes that are every bit as indulgent as Valentines Day itself.”

Throughout the Valentines season (Thursday 10th February through to Monday 14th February), The Hummingbird Bakery will also be offering a specially decorated range of its most popular cupcakes. Heart-shaped Red Velvet layer cakes, which customers can have decorated with a short message of their choice, will also be available to order for £30.

The Hummingbird Bakery, which first opened in 2004, specialises in American-inspired sweet baked goods. Everything the bakery produces, from cupcakes and whoopie pies, to layer cakes and bespoke celebration cakes, is made using the finest quality ingredients and is baked and individually decorated by hand. The Hummingbird Bakery also offers a ‘Cakes by Consultation’ service, which enables customers to commission their own cakes for celebrations, weddings and other special events with the help of one of the bakery’s expert consultants.
