Bangor Bound...

This past weekend we took our first trip to Bangor...North Wales for those who don't know. It was rather interesting! It suddenly hit me that when we move there in September I will no longer have London and all it's fantastic cupcakeries on my doorstep! which also means goodbye to Iron Cupcake...sad times!

We went for a nice hike in the hills and got a good view of the still snow capped Snowdon which was pretty fun.
I was rather disappointed though with the town itself...this was the only cupcake I managed to find! I was quite pleased with stumbling upon it in Costa as Rocky Road is a fave of mine, but it wasn't great..more like a muffin with mediocre icing! So Bangor didn't really deliver on the cupcake front...and I'm wondering how I'll manage to spend the next 4 years there!!

Chocolate fun in Bruges

Some of the many yummy choco shops!

I searched the whole of Belgium and there wasn't a cupcake in sight!! Pretty unbelievable I know, especially considering it's the land of chocolate and all things yummy! So I was disappointed not to be able to add a new country to my cupcake hunt..but we still enjoyed all the chocolate-y goodness Belgium had to offer anyway!

Mmmm waffles


They weren't wrong! This was the best hot chocolate, we had to submerge our little chocolate cups in giant mugs of milk to make our own hot chocolate..and check out the plate of chocolate treats that accompanied it...delish!
