Blossom Cakes

Such beauties they were but like it's been said many times over, the proof was in the eating. Well, these slightly petite cupcakes were fabulousness personified. Fluffy with a little something in the middle of them, they impressed with freshness and flavour. My favourite was the Lemon Raspberry, a very zesty cake with a raspberry compote within, topped with a lusciously tangy frosting. The Blackforest had a cake base that put a lot of other chocolate cakes to shame. It had a slightly tart cherry filling and a whipped cream cheese frosting. The Salted Caramel's liquid caramel centre attempted an oozy escape the moment we cut the cupcake open. But we put a stop to that quickly enough.
Blossom Cafe left me wishing I had skipped the hotel's buffet breakfast so I could've squeezed in a couple more of their cupcakes in my tummy.

What a lovely gem! Blossom is a cafe and bakery in Siem Reap that specialises in cupcakes and cakes. Their visually stunning creations triggered us to whip out our cameras and phones the moment we casted our eyes upon them. It was relaxing to indulge in the cupcakes as we lounged in their comfy chairs amidst chic and stylish interiors. They also offer an impressive selection of fair-trade coffees and teas for customers. But what makes this place extra special is that it is a non-profit set-up. Local Cambodian women are given the opportunity to be empowered via training in baking skills. Great cupcakes for a great cause - now how cool is that!
