Alice in Wonderland Cupcakes

The other day I visited the Richmond Tearooms in Manchester, which for those of you who don't know, is an amazing Alice in Wonderland themed tearoom, (review on The Afternoon Tea Club) and ever since then I've been a little Alice obsessed.

So in alignment with this theme, here are my picks of the best Alice in Wonderland cupcakes on the internet!

Enjoy...

Things I Love: Oh Crumbs Cupcakes

Another one of my favourite things is 'Oh Crumbs Cupcakes' in Manchester...

Okay, so I've never actually had a cupcake from here, but I live in hope that with my 21st Birthday around the corner, the possibility of finally tasting one of their beautiful cupcakes may just become a reality!
I love the way they decorate their cakes, especially their perfect icing which makes me very envious :)
Just have a look at their pics...

They're so good I steal their ideas, Ahem!

Love this!

Fabulous Sugar Craft Horses!

Check out their pretty website here for more information about the company, and if anyone's ever tried their cakes let me know what they're like.
I can't wait to try them for myself some day!

Review: Teacup on Thomas Street, Manchester

Hidden away in the up and coming Norther Quarter of Manchester city centre, Teacup on Thomas Street is one of my favourite places in the entire world!
Owned by local DJ Mr Scruff (Andy Carthy) this understated New York-esque Tearoom is the perfect place for whiling away an afternoon or two, and offers a variety of wholesome home made treats and lunches, all at very reasonable prices!

Flourless Chocolate Cake and a Latte

I was first introduced to Teacup several months ago by a friend and it has quickly become one of my regular haunts, when I need to escape from uni work, or simply want a slice of their delicious flourless Chocolate Cake (and Oh how delicious it is!)

On my various visits to the tearoom, I've had the pleasure of trying out several of their sweet treats as well as a couple of their delectable toasted sandwiches, and I have to say that there isn't a better tea shop in the Manchester Area, for its food, service or atmosphere which are all second to none.

Panini's at noon

It's interior is an eclectic mixture of New York Cafe Chic and Cath Kidston Kitsch, and is unlike any other eatery in the area, offering a little taste of America in back streets Manchester. The Wedgewood-esque tea service also works to off set this quirky cafe perfectly, offering up the quintessence of Englishness into the mix!

The presentation of their food has the feeling of something really special, and that's exactly what you get. The sandwiches in particular are lovingly crafted and displayed on rustic wooden blocks accompanied by cute little espresso cups of coleslaw and radishes, creating the prefect expreience.

Cupcakes and Coffee

If you're in Manchester and want to have the best tea experience the City has to offer, then go along to Teacup on Thomas Street, and get a taste of brilliance!

Happy Eating!
