BOSSES at a popular Scottish bakery have said they have made the “difficult decision” to close the business.
Cuckoo’s Bakery, which has three branches in Edinburgh, has become well-known for its eye-catching cupcakes.
It had branches on Dundas Street, Bruntsfield Place and Grindlay Street in the capital.
The bakery was founded on Valentine’s Day in 2011 and opened its third shop in September 2023.
Writing on Facebook, staff said that difficult economic conditions meant the business had to cease trading.
A statement read: “It is with great sadness that we have come to the difficult decision to cease trading.
“Like many other small independent businesses, the current economy has proven too much for us to continue.
“We would like to express our gratitude to our wonderful customers and our dedicated staff and suppliers for their support.
“Customers will be contacted in due course. All our best wishes for 2025.”
A number of customers took to the comments to express their sadness with one describing the cupcakes as “legendary” while another said they had received a number of birthday cakes from the store.
“I really hope this isn’t the end,” they said.
A third user commented: “There was nothing better than popping into your store and picking up a beautiful cupcake.”
