Cake Shop Alert!!!
Tue 10th Jun 2008
so sweet it's wicked!
I just about broke my neck this morning as I was walking down Queen Margaret Drive towards K1 Yarns as I did a double take to check out the new CAKE SHOP that has just opened!!!
The Mannequin (www.themannequin.co.uk) has just opened today (and I have already purchased 2 pieces of cake. But one is for my son. OK I had a taste of his too, but just a small one). The shop is the sweetest wee cake shop that you have ever seen, decorated in a comfy cosy style with a few tables so that you can either eat in or take away. They have a selection of teas, coffees and hot chocolate too. And a full range of sandwiches and breakfast, if you must. But really you will just want the cake. Believe me!
And they love knitters!!!
