These Milkshakes Brought Us To The Yard | Molly Bakes

Recently myself and my boyfriend took a little trip to Molly Bakes in Dalston, a cute little, bakery, that sells freakshake milkshakes and delicious cakes! I must admit I do have a very big sweet tooth and these were making my mouth water as I stalked them on Instagram (come on admit it, we all do it!) I had been bugging my boyfriend to drive there for weeks and once I showed him the pictures he was immediately in.

What do you do before you consume 5 billion calories you ask?! You go to the gym first so you don't feel guilty about it of course! I always need some form of motivation to get me to the gym and this was the best I have found so far! 

Surprisingly when we arrived we walked straight in and managed to get a table (I had been told that sometimes you have to queue and after looking at reviews I found this was true.) The place itself was tiny with only about 10 tables inside and was very simply decorated.

We ordered two freak shakes and drooled over the delicious cup cakes, brownies and slices of cake on display! I went for the chocolate freakshake and my boyfriend went for peanut butter, so we could try two different ones! They also offered a caramel and raspberry one, so a selection for everyone!

We sat eagerly watching the freakshakes being made; they had about 10 lined up on the counter being made and it definitely took some skills and precision! Everything was done so perfectly, every aspect had be thought out and carefully placed. The cup were even stuck down to the plate so they didn't move on route to tables. I definitely want to try making my own at home and hopefully perfecting it! I have seen a video online showing you how to make a bailey's freakshake and who doesn't love baileys?! I know I do and I know the girls do too!

They were finally brought over to us and oh my! They were amazing, mine had Nutella smothered around the top of the glass, a deliciously smooth chocolate milkshake, with whipped cream on top and the most mouth watering moist brownie I have ever tasted, it literally fell apart in my mouth, on top of the brownie was a marshmallow that had been toasted and finally the whole thing was covered with chocolate biscuit balls. My boyfriend's one was similar but the glass was smothered in peanut butter and it had a peanut butter cookie ice cream sandwich on top instead of the brownie. Both of which were delicious but I must say I preferred the chocolate! I'm a huge fan of peanut butter but it just didn't compete with the deliciousness of the chocolate one. I would definitely true a different flavour next time though just to say I have tried them all!

After consuming the amazingness that was the Freakshakes we went to get some cakes to take away. There was so many to pick from, red velvet, chocolate and Guinness, peanut butter, Oreo, salted caramel, and then there was the brownies; chocolate chip brownie, cookie dough, salted caramel, just too many options! I eventually picked the red velvet cupcake and my boyfriend got a selection for his family of the peanut butter and salted caramel cupcakes and a chocolate chip brownie! And wow! They are amazing, so moist and light and fluffy with sweet cream on top! I would so highly recommend going to Mollyh Bakes, it is unreal, I want to go back just thinking about it! Go go go go...
