Via Londonist, news of a new Hummingbird Bakery in London and free cupcakes!

Whatever your stance, cupcakes aren’t going away. Tomorrow, London welcomes its fifth Hummingbird Bakery to the city; the second to open in the last 12 months.

From tomorrow, you’ll be able to get your hit of sugary American baked goods in Islington. The new Hummingbird Bakery is setting up shop in the Stirling Prize-nominated Angel Building on St John Street, close to Angel Tube and Upper Street. Like the other branches (in Notting Hill, South Ken, Soho and Spitalfields), the Angel shop will continue The Hummingbird practice of baking all products on site the same day as they’re sold, “to ensure freshness and quality.”

The shop opens at 11am on 27 January, when they’ll be giving away free cupcakes to the first 1,000 visitors

Here's what it says on The Hummingbird Bakery's Facebook page:

On Friday 27th January 2012 we'll be giving away 1000 FREE CUPCAKES to the first visitors to our Islington branch. It couldn't be easier, just whisper the secret word 'ISLINGTON' to claim your cupcake!

Be there at 11am! The Hummingbird Bakery Islington is located at 405 St John Street, EC1V 4AB."
