Created by artistic soul Sarah Wilson, Hey Little Cupcake combines her love of baking with her passion for travelling, by creating a selection of treats inspired by places she has visited around the globe.
Cue launch night, we braved the baltic Manchester weather to walk up the store's rolled out and delightfully pink carpet, for an evening of cupcakes galore with cocktails courtesy of The Alchemist. On arrival we were given a tiny gold key and told - something so small left such a big impact and we were immediately enamoured. It is this sort of attention to detail where the Hey Little Cupcake! brand holds his strength and lies the key to their success (if you'll excuse the pun!) placing them leagues ahead of the compeition within the cult cupcake movement.
The store itself not only churns out endless variations of mouth-watering cupcakes, but also doubles as an art gallery showcasing a series of artwork under the cute, girly and of course cupcake theme. Stepping into the store can only be described as stepping into every girls dream - the charmingly adorable decor, abundance of pastel shades and hot pink chess board flooring resulted in a welcome "cute overdose."
As expected, the range of cupcakes on offer were a sensation with flavours differing from anything from chocholate sponge, topped with mounds of Smarties, choc chips, marshmellows and Malteasers with 'Rocky Road,' to the more exclusive signature pieces with the 'New Yorker,' aptly named as inspired by Sarah's travels. On the drinks side, The Alchemist also held their own doing an amazing job on the gorgeous cocktails, which were embellished with brightly coloured flower petals encased in the drinks floating ice cubes - a talking point on their own!
We arrived eager for a sugar fix and we were not dissapointed, leaving with our sweet tooths considerably matched after many cries of "Oh go on, one more cant hurt..."
Forget those diets, unbutton those jeans top buttons and check out Hey Little Cupcake! if you dare!
