Funky Foods Cupcake Class with Sweet Designs by Jennie

Every month Amelia and I go to Sweet Designs by Jennie‘s cupcake class, often going to one of the newer designs! Jennie creates new designs monthly, with so many different ones to choose from. Amelia and I always have a fantastic time creating cupcakes, chatting with others, and learning new decorating techniques. As always, we showed up for our class and all of the cakes were already baked. Our fondant was set out, along with tons of tools, and we got right to it!

Eating Cake and Cocktails at Hotel Sacher

There are lots of different places in Vienna, Austria to eat cakes! One of the more fancy locations is Hotel Sacher, which has one of those famous chocolate cakes. Outside the cafe part of the hotel, there is always a long queue of people waiting to get in to eat. We didn’t have to wait too long in the queue, due to the time of day that we went, which was a plus! Even with a long wait, if you are a fan of cakes, it’s well worth it. They give you a big menu that has a bit of history in it and the seating inside is very full but beautiful. It’s a lovely place for desserts! We shared a bunch of cakes so we all could try everything, which was a fantastic idea.

I’ve also more recently seen a tribute act – due to Amelia wanting to see more live music this year – so was quite interested in my friend Gary invited me to see The Scratch at Rough Trade in Bristol.

MurWalls LIVE repaints Harlow Town Centre at Harlow Street Art Festival

Harlow is going through this massive bout of revitalization, with lots of little projects being done all throughout the town in order to bring life back to things that have otherwise not been touched in a while. Before the end of the last year, a bunch of blue boarding walls have been put up across the back of Harlow Town Centre, to protect the walk from the anticipated destruction of the buildings behind the walls, which need to come down for re-building. Harlow then put on a Street Art Festival with the help of MurWalls LIVE to bring some color and fun to these boards, creating a real sense of community and life at the back of town.

The Sarah McGuinness Story at the Circle & Star Hampstead

[Ad- gifted experience] The Sarah McGuinness Story is a very personal musical cabaret, a completely one-person show, about Sarah McGuinness’ life, played by her. We went to see this show in The Circle & Star Hampstead, which is a small venue, attached to a pub – and it was packed. The venue being super intimate and sort of filled to the brim did feel right for this type of performance, in a lot of ways.
