Scottish Independence Cupcake Poll

• The opinion poll cakes are raspberry and white chocolate flavored and cost £2.50 to take away or £3 to eat in.
• 'No' camp win cupcake poll

Customers at Cuckoo's bakery in the Scottish capital Edinburgh have been invited to cast their vote through their choice of cupcake. Voters can decide between a Saltire-topped cake for 'Yes', a Union-flagged treat for 'No' or a question mark if they are yet to make up their minds.

Cuckoo’s revealed today that the No cake has outsold its rival in the run-up to the historic vote.

The bakery said that of the thousands of its opinion poll cupcakes consumed, 47.7% were No cakes and 43.5% were Yes.

The undecideds - who opted for a cake with an iced question mark - made up the remaining 8.8%.

Co-founder Graham Savage said: “We have seen an increase in sales generally and some big orders have come in from both sides.

“Our poll has been conducted professionally throughout the campaign and we are delighted that the results have shown to be so similar to the official results.

“We have calculated that since the campaign was launched, we have sold 80,000 cupcakes from our full range, including the Opinion Poll cupcake.”

Official polls released at the weekend put the Yes and No camps neck and neck.

Three put the No campaign in the lead while one put the independence movement ahead.

The opinion poll cakes are raspberry and white chocolate flavoured and cost £2.50 to take away or £3 to eat in.
