10 Of The Most Divine Dessert Spots To Indulge In Around Manchester
"Nestled away on Petticoat Lane, just off the hustle and bustle of Bold Street, The Nakery is a fantastic healthy eating spot specialising in raw nourishing treats. The owner of The Nakery, Natalie, had no previous baking background and found inspiration from online healthy treat experts all over the world. She began to create her own recipes based on the new knowledge she had learnt."
"Bursting with colour, this small shop on the outskirts of China Town and close to both the Petit Cafe Du Coin and the Bombed Out Church, is a vegan, raw cake & drink shop. They sell a lovely turmeric latte and a range of power smoothies too (we like the red one) but their big selling point is the raw cakes. Which are phenomenal."
"With a wide array of plant-based cakes and treats, The Nakery is the ideal spot for sweet-toothed vegans everywhere. This vegan bakery in Liverpool creates delicious raw treats that are not only vegan but also gluten and refined sugar free. Whether you’re vegan or not, you’ll want to sample the guilt free treats on offer."
"If you’ve been to a birthday party or wedding in the last few years, you have most probably seen, and possibly eaten, one of Zara Neild’s iconic cakes. Zara makes customised bakes for every occasion and her shop in Prestwich whips up everything from mini cupcakes to full size dream cakes. You can personalise every morsel and they excel when it comes to fluffy centres and decadent flavours."
"In this place, which prepares various desserts and cake menus for weddings, birthdays and special events, there is also a special cake workshop designed for children. You can try cakes with many different, delicious and interesting designs. 351 Bury Old Rd, Prestwich, Manchester M25 1QA"
"Not everyone can afford to spend hundreds of dollars on a single cake. However, that doesn’t mean you can’t get beautiful cakes on a budget. Zara Cakes is your best choice if you don’t want to sacrifice quality."
"If you’re looking for a cake shop that can make the most incredible, enchanting cakes you could possibly imagine, then you’re going to want to check out Liverpool Cake Company. Wedding cakes, novelty cakes, celebration cakes, vintage cakes, Christening cakes, you name the cake and they can make it any way you want it!. One such example of their skills can be seen when you first go to their website; you’ll find a photo slideshow of creations such as a selection of adorable Disney character cupcake toppers, a VW Wedding Bus cake, and even a cake that looks like a spellbook from Harry Potter!"
"Situated just a stones throw from the beautiful Sefton Park, Catherine Braidy is a boutique cake parlour offering the finest of sweet treats. Launched in 2019, this venture sees professional bakers, Catherine Williams and Braidy Maloney pool their expert knowledge and experience to offer tea for two, with a difference. Open daily from 10am til 4pm you can sit in or take away and come back, for more cake."
"Liverpool's much-loved independent cinema and arts centre holds the title of the UK's leading organisation for the support and display of film, art and new media. FACT hosts a wide range of activities, screening and events for the whole family, including a Kids' Club film, accompanied by games and activities for young movie fans, on Saturdays. The weekly Big Scream Club is exclusively for parents and babies under one year old."
"Just turning 15 years old, this cinema and gallery is, in fact, a leader in visual arts. It strives to support local visual and media-based artists who are passionate about technology. The location offers space for video and new (sometimes experimental) media, creating a platform for many UK artists to explore."
"FACT on Wood Street is hoping to open again from May 19 with three brand new exhibitions including Biennial artists. Soft Boys, in the foyer gallery, is a short film about queer and trans joy, specifically within the Somali culture and community. It’s free, no booking needed."
"The only gallery dedicated to photography and related media in the north-west, Open Eye is increasingly an essential part of Liverpool's already impressive art offering. Founded in 1977, it remained something of a hidden gem until its move in 2011 to a purpose-built home on the waterfront. As if to consolidate the move, a new artistic director, Lorenzo Fusi (previously curator of Liverpool Biennial), was appointed in 2013 and has already signalled his intent with some progressive programming."
"With a focus on lenses rather than paint, Open Eye Gallery is a not-for-profit contemporary photography gallery on Liverpool Waterfront. Proudly independent and the only gallery in the north west dedicated to photography, Open Eye hosts regular exhibitions and houses a wonderful collection of photography dating back as far as the 1930s. 19 Mann Island, Liverpool Waterfront, Liverpool L3 1BP, United Kingdom"
"Independent and not-for-profit, the Open Eye is the only gallery of its kind in the North West of England. Appropriately housed in an inspiring, modern building on Mann Island, it showcases both well-known and emerging photographers. Don’t overlook this gallery, it’s well worth a visit."
"The first Instagrammable place that we visited in Manchester was a trendy coffee and breakfast spot called Hampton and Vouis, which reminded me of a show home in a luxury property development. I really liked the pink colours and beautiful designs and if you’re looking for a perfect photo spot in Manchester that is not so busy in the morning, head there!. If you need to store your luggage in a safe place, while you’re exploring the city, I recommend using LuggageHero – they have a lot of storage locations and amazing rates."
"Taking great pride its award-winning speciality coffee, Hampton & Vouis is still open this weekend in the heart of the city centre to grab yourself a freshly-brewed cup to go. 31 Princess Street, Manchester, M2 4EW. You can find more information via the Hampton & Vouis website here."
