SLATTERY'S WITH SOME SPECIAL LADIES






Last week it was my best friend Jemma's birthday; and as she is almost heavily pregnant she decided to celebrate with a cakey day at Slattery's, ie. chocolate heaven!!!

So me and the rest of the gang tried our absolute best to curve our eating for the morning; in the hopes that we would be able to conquer the Chocolate Challenge!!

The Chocolate Challenge consists of a 'individual' sized chocolate cake, four chocolate cups containing melted white chocolate, melted milk chocolate, fresh cream with a chocolate coin and homemade chocolate ice cream. To wash the lot down the feast also includes Slattery's signature hot chocolate!!

Although this may not sound over the top in words, trust me when faced with this amount of chocolate it is so overwhelming!

Jemma had the full intention of finishing the alone and winning a box of chocolates on her special day. Unfortunately; it didn't quite happen that way and even with five adults and a small child on the case, we still ended up taking it home in a doggy bag!

However, without disappointment from losing our challenge; we ate the rest of our yummy food and headed downstairs to purchase a few chocolatey treats and swoon over the wedding cakes! All in all we had a fantastic afternoon, and a brilliant catch up! Happy Birthday besty!!

MY NEW BLUE SHOES




So as promised here are my new blue shoes!!! And aren't they just fabulous!!! I'm not usually one for following major trends within the catwalk colour department; but who can resist a bit of cobalt!

These photographs were taken next to the most beautiful tree I could find in the Botanic Gardens in Brussels. All photographs have been taken courtesy of Luke Moody, and I even managed to sneak in a quick pic of him.

For my next post I promise you all lots and lots of CAKES, as this afternoon I will be visiting Slattery bakery in Whitefield Manchester...mmmm!
