Sticky Fingers BCN

Off one of the quiet streets that lead away from the commotion on Passeig del Borne, calmly displaying it’s pastel aquamarine detailed façade, is Barcelona’s newest cupcake joint, Florentine.

Florentine Cupcakes & Cookies has been open for a few short weeks, since the beginning of December 2010. The small space breathes a certain Provençal chic, understated with just a hint of cheeky, home-made glamour peeking out. The street window is uncluttered so as to give the perfect view of the cupcake vitrine, filled with the different types of sweet things.

Florentine offers more traditional flavour combinations such as vanilla and chocolate and then goes out on a creative limb to concoct mouth-watering surprises such as salidou: a rich, salty butter experience packed into a cupcake. Positively lip-smacking. The other aspect of the small space that catches the eyes is the variety of crafted kitchenwares, such as glasses, aprons and place-mats to name just a few. I suppose my only complaint is that there is no place to sit down for a few minutes to fully savour the Florentine cupcakes and cookies! Yet another reason to spend time in Borne…
