An evening of cupcake decorating – perfect for an alternative hen partyIf you follow regularly you may remember me mentioning that I was booked onto a cupcake decorating class in nearby Didsbury with And The Dish Ran Away With The Spoon. The photos from the evening have been just been published on Facebook so thought I’d share a few (that’s me and my friend Jen showing off our cakes). This was a totally fun evening and I would highly recommend doing this as a hen party alternative to wearing mini skirts, “L” plates and getting pissed. Although I’m sure you could still wear the mini skirt and “L” plates if you like.Â...

Cake on a Stick! Offbeat Bride Brings Us an Alternative to Traditional CupcakesYou may or may not have heard of cake pops, they’re the little cake balls on a stick that have been sweeping the wedding dessert world with their yummy cuteness. One of the staff over at Offbeat Bride even attempted to DIY them to a tragic end (therefore, I do not recommend that you DIY them, unless you’re SUPER talented with the baked goods).  I saw something at a wedding recently that was a really great spin on the cake pop idea. Instead of little round balls of cake, the bride gave her guests tiny cupcake pops from Creative Cupcake Company. Creative cupcakes indeed! Yes, they’re lit...

Wedding Cake AlternativesWhat do you get when you don't want a wedding cake at your reception? A sugar rush of fabulous goodies and childhood favorites of course! If cake isn't your speed, consider the alternatives. For icing lovers - cake pops are doughy goodness drenched in icing and coated in chocolate and popped on a stick. A great decor item and dessert! Cupcakes (even double stacked cupcakes), mouse cups, cake in a cup, cupcake towers, mini cupcakes, whoopie pies and more all make great dessert bar items for your big day. Take a peek at what Fantasy Frostings created instead of cake recently....
