Don't you dare!!!
It all started as a slapstick comedy device in performing arts to evoke uncontrolable laughter from the viewer/audience. Used in the silence movies and theatre stretching since before the 1900s.
A pie in the face
It would, undoubtedly, not work with today’s standards of humour. Yes, humans these days are as hard as a plank and are consumed my their lifes and lifestyles. I am one of...

Where is ilovecupcake?
My friend told me some weeks back that ilovecupcake in Parkhurst had closed down. What?! I was there now-now. How could this be? So i tried to do a little but not exhaustive investigation. The website is down. In fact its says I’m “forbidden”
For the love in me, my life is at the brink of being over. Next week I shall check if the factory shop in Centurion still exists. This...

Top Billing / Cox, Cookies and Cake
Last week on Top Billing I saw the most incredible thing. Cox, Cookies and Cake. What an incredible-looking patisserie. Leather aprons. A Dark, almost dungeon dominatrix style shop. I love it.
Unfortunately for me, this place is all the way in London. I need to start making plans to travel. The world is passing me by.

Me: Hey, we must go out for cupcakes and stuff?
Him: Why?
Me: Coz it's different. Tired of going with the girls.
Him: There's a reason why you go with the girls.
Me: Are you telling me that men don't eat cupcakes?
Him: I'm telling you that they don't eat them in public.
Me: You're an idiot.

The Pink Kitchen →
Oh my word. I first tasted The Pink Kitchen’s delectable baking on Women’s Day (See Women’s Day Cupcake Exchange Party), when I had a tower of a cupcake, then nearly but could never defeat me. Heehee!! I have yet to make an order. Perhaps it’s time I do so. Perfect gift as well. Ooooh!!

Spring High Tea
Champagne on entry. Beautiful ladies basking under the cool but relaxing Joburg sun. A perfect Saturday afternoon on a Spring day in Sandton’s Marion on Witkoppen.
The Marion Hotel is an intimate boutique and luxury hotel that resembles much of a high end guest house. I estimated about 8 bedroom suites with magnificent streams of sunlight.
The high tea was also a very intimate shing-dig...

21sting Cupcake-Exchanging Women's Day Partytjie
On Women’s Day I went to the most legendary party of my life. No, I didn’t get drunk and kiss random strangers. I didn’t dance until my toes started cramping. I like to think that I live my life with a little more maturity and class. I waltz through Lize’s door with a tower of pink cupcakes, looking cute in my peach sundress and matching, and mandatory, lacey headband.

ilovecupcake
Aaah ilovecupcake. For so long I’ve been hearing the tales of the quality tastes and wild aromas of this shop. Finally, I got to experience the delicacies of the magic friends claimed that it performed.
Although the Centurion store is in a bit of an industrial, warehouse-looking site, all the negative images of filthy delivery trucks and sweating construction workers dissipated into the...
