Typically Christmas is the most anticipated date in anyone's calendar, that is until National Cupcake Day's inception.
If we ever needed an excuse to gorge on cakes, pastries and what have you, then National Cupcake Day is that day.
Forget the gym, forget the diet, it's a national holiday after all.
Of course, you can always make your own cupcakes from home with friends or family, but if you want to go all out, then you'll be wanting the best bakery on offer.

Across Swindon you're spoilt for choice when it comes to bakeries, so with the help of Google Reviews (which states each spot is currently open), we've compiled a list of some of the best ones.
Disclaimer:
National Cupcake Day is also reputedly held on December 15th. However, we see nothing wrong in celebrating it twice a year. Go crazy.

"If I could give 10 stars I would without hesitation. Great service and outstanding cakes in terms of design and flavour. The look on our Nephews face when he saw his simply fabulous Pokemon cake brought my wife and I to tears. Thank you soon much!"

"Wonderful cakes of all shapes and sizes...... that are actually far better tasting than anything you can buy from any shop anywhere. How you can make cakes that taste this good without eggs absolutely defies logic. Thanks guys for such fabulously tasty and beautiful cakes."

"Absolutely brilliant service, I had a cake made for my sons 3rd birthday and asked for a cars 3 themed cake, I left it with Tracey to design and I was amazed when I collected it, not only did it look amazing but it also taste amazing and didn’t last very long in the house.
"My 3 year old son was very happy with it too. :) Would highly recommend cakeoholix for all occasions."

"Fantastic little cafe right in the centre of Swindon, conveniently located inside the Brunel centre and right across from one of the lifts access couldn't be easier, the doorways are clear and welcoming for both wheelchair and pushchair users. Staff always greet with a smile and a warm approach.
"The food choice is one of the best around with something to suit all dietary requirements including dairy free, gluten free as well as vegan choices. Coffee is delivered to your table hot and the flavour is both smooth and rich."
