Oh dear, oh dear...

I have been very MIA when it comes to my blog, apologies to the two people who read this at the moment!

I have lots of plans for the next few months including a kitchen, new website, branding and generally getting my arse into gear and bringing cupcakes to the masses instead of just talking about it.

I haven't spent a lot of time trying new cupcakes this year, like many cupcake lovers I'm a little fed up of being fobbed off with bad cakes at extortionate prices. However I did manage to visit Hey Little Cupcake! in Manchester at the end of the summer. They have a lovely little shop in Spinningfields where they also hold cupcake decorating classes and serve up cups of Tea Pigs my favourite source of Peppermint Tea on a cold day. The cupcakes are all named after the city they're inspired by including "Manchester's Mint", a chocolate cupcake filled with After Eight mints and fresh mint buttercream. Although we loved the look of the shop the cupcakes were nothing to shout about, the vanilla being slightly too try and heavy for our tastes, but not by any means the worst cake I've tried in a long time.

Short but sweet but I promise to visit more often.
