Les Bebes Cupcakery has a house-shaped shop frontage that extends beyond the facade of the building with a floor-to-ceiling glass window, interrupted by a solid black doorway.

A black-framed box with a yellow interior pushes through the glass, acting as a display cabinet for the cupcakes.

Dark tiles are also used to border a raised bar area, which is lined with yellow and black stools.
