Parklife Cafe, Worthing - my birthday outing!

After the horror of the Wholefoods oilcake I was even more excited than before to go to Parklife Cafe on Thursday for my birthday cupcake. And thankfully it was ABSOLUTELY fantastic!! One of the cutest little cafes I've been in! The bubbles welcoming you from the machine outside were a fantastic welcome, and then we went inside to the CAKES!!! They were gorgeous - and they had some glittery pink vanilla ones - like they were making them JUST for my b'day. I had a cupcake and coffee (which was lovely too!) and my tubby hubby had a chocolate brownie (which he rated as "perhaps the best brownie he'd ever eaten" and he's eaten A LOT!) AND a humongous slice of Guinness cake, which was v.nice (he allowed me little smidgen!). The cupcake were heavenly - perfect frosting and lovely cakes - they were divine and a perfect birthday treat. We got some to take home and carried them round Brighton while we shopped for cupcake items and all the way home, rather tipsy, on the last train to London after several pints of lovely Kriek in the Evening Star! I had my red velvet for breakfast this morning and Manny had a vanilla one (his first ever vanilla cupcake!). Again these were utterly gorgeous - Manny got so stuck into his he ended up with a glitter moustache ;)

Yesterday was my first ever visit to Worthing and it will NOT be my last!!! I'm already planning an overnight stay for their beer fest later in the year so I can eat cupcakes for 2 days, 3 if I bring some home!

I heart Park Life cafe :)

My birthday CUPCAKE extravaganza

I have been wondering what to do on my birthday in March for a few weeks now as it is the most important day of the year (to me anyways!) and I think I have decided upon a bit of a cupcake-tastic time!

We often go to Brighton for the day as its nice to escape London, do some shopping, see the see and get drunk at the Evening Star pub (http://www.eveningstarbrighton.co.uk/pub.php) where they have utterly gorgeous kriek which tastes very much like a pint of bakewell tart..yummy! So on this theme I searched for cupcakes in Brighton to no avail but found the Parklife Cafe in Worthing instead which is about 1/2 an hour away from Brighton so the plan for the actual day of my b'day is to pop to the cafe (http://www.myspace.com/parklifecafe) have a few cupcakes (and maybe a few to takeaway!) then go to Brighton and have a lovely day by the sea!

I have a cupcake day out in London planned for one of the other days (we have a few days off work!) and will post my planned route up online soon :) It will involve lots of walking, therefore burning off calories for cupcakes :)
