Artisan cheesecake manufacturer Pleesecakes has launched a new range frozen cheesecake tubs and Mancunians can even get them delivered right to their front door.
There’s no doubt that 2020 will be remembered for a lot things.
Amongst all the doom and gloom though, at least it can be remembered as the year we were blessed with frozen tubs of cheesecake, and even better than that, frozen tubs of cheesecake that can be delivered right to our front doors without even having to move a muscle.
Freezecakes is the newest venture by artisan cheesecake manufacturer Pleesecakes.
They are “the worlds first frozen cheesecake in a tub” and are designed to simply store in your freezer for when you need that instant cheesecake hit. Freezecakes originated back in 2017 from a simple concept of making a “choc-ice” style dessert, using cream cheese instead of ice cream.

As crucially described on the website, although they may just look like tubs of ice cream, “this isn’t a cheesecake flavoured ice-cream – this is frozen cheesecake mix with added items such as chocolate chunks, homemade biscuit and gooey caramel pockets”.
The Freezecakes team has laboured over every aspect of these new frozen creations to ensure the finished product is as creamy and delicious as their traditional cheesecake line.

There’s three variations to choose from – Bonnie & Clyde, Charlie and Lily-Rose.

Bonnie & Clyde is a frozen butterscotch and caramel cheesecake, with double chocolate biscuit, crunchy butterscotch nibs, caramel pockets, topped with caramel chocolate, Charlie is a frozen chocolate cheesecake, with double chocolate biscuit, chocolate popcorn, chocolate ganache pockets, chocolate shards, topped with more chocolate, and Lily-Rose is a frozen lemon and raspberry cheesecake, with shortbread biscuit, gooey lemon curd, raspberry swirl, topped with white chocolate and freeze dried raspberries.
Is your mouth watering?

Freezecakes are retailing at £6.50 + delivery for an individual tub (480ml), or if you’re looking to properly treat yourself, you can get your hands on a trio pack all three for £19.50 + delivery and they’re available for all UK residents to order.
They will be delivered right to your door within 24 hours of ordering, frozen and ready to eat, by a specialist courier service.

High School Musical at Lowry, Salford – a night spent reliving our childhood | Review
Amy Williams
What a night spent reliving our childhood.
Now, I don’t want to exaggerate or seem biased, considering this is one of my favourite film trilogies of all time, but this could be the best stage show I’ve seen in a long while.
We all know how High School Musical goes, right? Set at East High, we follow Troy and Gabriella (the star basketball player, and the geeky new girl) who meet over New Year, and then become ‘star-crossed lovers’ when back at school as they’re part of two different ‘cliques’.
The duo mess with the ‘Status Quo’ when they audition for the school musical. But will they stick to what they know? Or become stars of the stage? I’m sure you know the ending.

From the costumes and the characters, to the memorable songs (there’s actually 52 songs in this production, including a mega mix at the end), they’ve kept right to the script of the films – and that’s exactly what we wanted to see.
Of course, the biggest throwback of them all is Kaycee Stroh – who originally featured as Martha Cox in the film trilogy – taking the role as Ms Darbus, and she was just as incredible as we expected her to be. And to see her do the iconic dance in the finale was unbelievable, 13-year-old Amy was screaming.
Also featuring Jason Donovan as Coach Bolton, Tobias Turley as Troy, Leonor Correia as Gabriella, Caitlin Tipping Sharpay, and Luke Bayer as Ryan, it was a proper impressive cast all round.

There was crowd interaction right from the off, as they taught the crowd a cheerleading routine to be included later in the show, plus for the finale, they had the lyrics on the big screen too so everyone could sing-along.
If we could go and see this show every single night, we would – it is absolutely brilliant.
Fontaines D.C. announce massive return to Manchester on new European tour
Daisy Jackson
Fontaines D.C. have just announced their biggest headline tour to date, including a massive arena gig here in Manchester.
The wildly popular Irish rock band are set to play a whopping 20 arena shows across Europe and the UK this autumn.
The tour has been announced in celebration of their upcoming fifth studio album, Dopamine Chamber, which is set for release this October.
Fontaines D.C. will hit the road just five days after the album drops, kicking off their European tour in Lisbon on 21 October.
Then they’ll make their way over to the UK, with shows in Manchester, Leeds, Liverpool, Glasgow, Birmingham and London.
Fans in their home country of Ireland are told to stay tuned for live news very soon.
As we speak, Fontaines D.C. are warming up to play one of the country’s biggest festivals, with headline slots at Reading & Leeds Festival.
They’ve already released Marianne, the first single from their new album, and frontman Grian Chatten says of the album: “The album itself is a dopamine chamber. You step inside and we test these different mind- or mood-altering pieces of music on you.”
The new record has been recorded between London, the English countryside, and Palermo, where Chatten recorded vocals in a makeshift booth built from mattresses and cushions.
He said: “There’s a poignant sense of us being on the brink of some other kind of form of humanity, or non-humanity.”
Tickets will go on general sale at 10am on Thursday 3 September, with pre-sale live from 10am on Tuesday 1 September.
You can access tickets for Fontaines D.C. in Manchester HERE.
Fans who pre-order Dopamine Chamber from the official store by 6pm on Monday 31 August will gain access to the UK pre-sale.
