Yesterday
I went to Slattery in Prestwich.
Slattery
is a chocolate experience on three floors. It has a cake and
chocolate shop at the bottom, a café in the middle and a chocolate
school at the top.
Yummy cupcakes.
Tubs of chocolate covered sweets, cakes and biscuits.
Chocolate lollipops, chocolate bars, chocolate chocolate chocolate...
More chocolate cakes.
Cakes and biscuits.
As
a treat for my birthday my auntie took me to Slattery for the famous
Slattery's chocolate cake challenge. The challenge is a huge piece of
chocolate cake with two chocolate dishes filled with ice-cream and
whipped cream and two tubs filled with milk and white chocolate sauce
and a hot chocolate and white and milk chocolate coins.
First
they bought out my auntie's sandwich, my grandma's scone and tea and
my hot chocolate. I was too excited to remember to take pictures of
the other food but it looked really good. I couldn't wait to see my
chocolate challenge.
I didn't really need to look at the menu, I knew what I was here for!
The dining room was packed and noisy but as my chocoalte challenge was bought out the room got quiet and everyone was looking at the cake with a big sparkler coming out of it.
IT WAS MASSIVE.
I took my first bite and the cake was wonderful. It was very chocolaty inside and outside. It was made up of layers of chocolate cake and chocolate fudge frosting. I eat the cake with the cream and ice cream to help it slide down easier. I tackled the big chocolate coins next.
10 bites in...
30 bites in and the chocolate hit me!
I
started getting full within the first 10 bites but I carried on. It
was a hot day to drink a hot chocolate so I asked for a glass of
water to help.
By
30 mouthfuls I thought I was going to faint, I felt dizzy and I
really wanted something savoury.
I
carried on with small bites of cake and small sips of water but I
still had the hot chocolate to drink.
I can do it! Let me carry on!
I
felt like Adam Richman on Man Vs Food. I can understand what that guy
goes through for food challenges. It looked like there was so much
food still left. I felt like I was back at the beginning.
I
drank my hot chocolate in one go. It was unbelievably delicious. It
was like drinking melted chocolate.
Then I knew I was done. Food had won!
I took the leftovers home.

These chocolate foods look so real.
I thought they had a Dominos stand!
I wish I bought one of those.
And dessert... a sundae made of chocolate.

Chocolate cake pops.
I have one thing to say to the famous Slattery's chocolate cake challenge: I'll be back!
Great attempt at the challenge! Have never been to Slattery, after reading your review I now really want to go even just to see the amazing cakes!
