About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a delivery driver asked curiously: ‘Why does James always wave from that window?’ A regular customer overheard him and joked, ‘He’s waving at his giant cupcake!’ Everyone laughed, but no one knew for sure… until one day, James appeared on the street with a huge smile and announced, “Today I’m celebrating my new best friend—the biggest cupcake in town!” And ever since then, everyone waves back whenever they see him.

2. A new customer exclaimed one afternoon: ‘Did you see James today? He’s talking to that giant cupcake like it’s alive!’ Another regular overheard them discussing frosting recipes, completely oblivious to everyone else in the shop. Finally, a delivery driver joked, 'Maybe he found the secret ingredient!' Everyone laughed, and life at James and The Giant Cupcake continued as usual.

3. A curious tourist asked one day: ‘Why does James leave the shop every Tuesday at exactly three o’clock?’ ‘Oh,’ said an old delivery driver with a twinkle in his eye. ‘Every Tuesday at precisely that time, James has tea with his giant friend from across the street.’ A neighbor nodded knowingly. ‘They’ve been having tea together for years now—nobody knows why, but it’s become quite the local tradition!’

4. At night, an anonymous note appeared on the door: ‘James, your cupcakes grow bigger when no one is watching.’ Ever since then, locals claim they’ve seen strange shadows moving between the shelves. One day, a delivery driver noticed something odd—cupcakes were stacked so high they almost touched the ceiling. Curious, he asked James if he knew anything about it. With a smile, James replied, 'They just want some space to breathe.'
