Manchester’s boutique cupcakery Hey Little Cupcake! has joined forces with international luxury chocolatiers Hotel Chocolat to create a limited edition collection.
To celebrate National Chocolate Week, which runs from October 8th-14th, Hey Little Cupcake! has merged Hotel Chocolat’s unique flavours with its distinctive cupcakes to create seven new mouth-watering flavours, including a luxurious salted Caramel Whoopee Pie and Wham Bam Choc Slab.
Hotel Chocolat prides itself on providing ‘deeply authentic chocolate with a witty, fashionable edge’ and has always set the bar high in terms of innovation within their chocolate ranges. This is the first time Hotel Chocolat has collaborated with a cupcakery and the collection will only be available for a limited time period.
Sarah Wilson, owner of Hey Little Cupcake!, said; “We are delighted that Hotel Chocolat has agreed to partner Hey Little Cupcake! during National Chocolate Week. We have spent a great deal of time preparing recipes that make the most of both the chocolate and the cupcake, and believe that chocolate lovers are in for a real treat!”
Andrew Hawthorne from Hotel Chocolat in The Arndale Centre, Manchester; “We are very proud to be supporting a local, independent business and we’re excited to reveal this cupcake range as part of National Chocolate Week 2012. The combination of our chocolate flavours with Hey Little Cupcake’s cakes will undoubtedly prove to be a massive hit.”
