We may be over this side of the Pennines, but there’s no denying a strong argument can be made for Yorkshire Puddings being the best part of a roast dinner.
A roast is a pillar of life for many and marks a time to get together around the table to enjoy one of the heartiest meals you’ll probably have all week, but what goes onto the plate, and what the best bit is always does seem to cause a bit of a stir.
In fact, it’s something our loyal audience of Mancunians debated over back in June, but it’s fair to say that Yorkshire Puddings received love right across the board.
And now, as a way celebrating 25 years of creating the glorious food, Aunt Bessie’s has created a show-stopping 25-tier Yorkshire pudding cake, which contains a whopping total of 965 of Aunt Bessie’s Golden Yorkshire Puddings stuffed with delicious fillings – from roast beef with veg, to pigs in blankets with sweet potato mash and chicken with stuffing and cranberry – and lashings of mouth-watering gravy.
The epic creation took over two hours to create and measures a staggering 8.11ft from top to bottom.

Wow.

That’s not all though.

Also to help celebrate its silver anniversary, the brand’s Golden Yorkshires are even getting an upgrade, with the puddings now 25% bigger than they were before, while still maintaining the homemade taste and fluffy texture that we all know and love.
And Aunt Bessie’s is adamant the new and improved puds are the “best recipe yet”.
David Barr – Yorkshire Pudding Guru at Aunt Bessie’s – said: “Having worked at the factory for three decades, I’ve tasted thousands of Yorkshire puddings and seen lots of changes,

“But I’m proud to say that this is our best recipe yet.
“We only use the finest quality ingredients to ensure the best-tasting puds end up on the nation’s dinner plates [and] what better way to mark this magnificent milestone than with a gigantic Yorkshire Pudding cake”.

You can now get your hands on Aunt Bessie’s 25% Bigger Glorious Golden Yorkshire Puddings in Tesco, Morrisons, Sainsbury’s, Asda, Waitrose, Ocado in two pack sizes – x10 Golden Yorkshires (priced at £1.55), and x18 Golden Yorkshires (priced at £2.60).
Our mouths are drooling just thinking about them now.
Whilst we’re not exactly expecting homes across Greater Manchester to be decked with 25-tier Yorkshire pudding cakes any time soon, if this doesn’t give you some inspiration for your next Sunday roast, then we don’t know what will.

A Twilight rave is coming to Manchester with DJs blasting 2000s indie and emo anthems

A Twilight rave is coming to Manchester this spooky season.
It’s been nearly 20 years since the release of the titular first film in the Twilight Saga, based on author Stephanie Meyer’s bestselling book series of the same name, but despite two decades having passed, the films remain as beloved as ever.
Twilight went on to become a global phenomenon when it first hit cinemas back in November 2008, not just with its target audience of teens and young adults, but with people of all ages – making stars out of its lead actors Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart in the process, and generating millions at the box office.
With the impact it had on the culture at the time, it’s no wonder Twilight remained among fans’ favourites all these years later.
And this success is why events company Throwback Events is hosting a series of Twilight Raves across the UK and Europe this autumn, making a stop off here in Manchester in late November with tickets now on sale.
The event description reads: “Bella, where the hell you been loca? Join us as we celebrate Twilight at the club, where every day is Hoa Hoa Hoa season.
“Step into the shadows and relive the magic, mystery, and eternal romance of Twilight. Get ready for a night of anthems, nostalgia, and glittering darkness as we transform the dancefloor into Forks’ most iconic vampire coven.”
DJs will be spinning Twilight soundtracks on the night, alongside dark pop, emo, indie, and 2000s bangers, as well as playing fan edits from the films on big screens.
Oh, and to make it all the better, dressing up as vampires and werewolves is ‘highly encouraged’.
Fancy it then? The Twilight Rave is coming to the Deaf Institute in Manchester on Saturday 21 November, and tickets will set you back upwards of £7 each.
