Cupcakes fit for a Queen!
Mad Hatters Cupcake Company are designing exclusive 'Movie themed' cupcakes for our next event, 'Secrets of the Boudoir Burlesque Goes to the Movies', taking place on the 6th March.
The Hatter's are a cake makers and decorators based in Barnsley, they have a range of 30 different flavours and delightful fillings to choose from and it's not just the frosting that has the flavour in a Mad Hatters cupcake, it is the whole cake! Famed for their 'Belly Buster' cakes - a giant cupcake filled with delicious cakey goodness - Mad Hatters don't do pleasure lightly! Secrets of the Boudoir Burlesque organiser, Deadly Nightshade, was treated to a huuuge 'Belly Buster' cake during 'Secrets of the Boudoir Burlesque Falls in Love' last year. Made with original recipie 'Sailor Jerry's' rum and topped with lashings upon lashings of purple glitter icing it was a dream come true for Deadly, even more so, when fellow performer and 'Secrets' regular, Depravity Jane decided to rub it all over her body during a saucy routine!
Not only do they make the best cakes Secrets of the Boudoir Burlesque have ever tasted, they also favour local products and try to keep their carbon foot print down during their magic cake making sessions! Mad Hatter's will only use local produce: their flour comes from a local mill, eggs are fresh from their local farm as is all of their fruit! Anything they cannot buy locally - like sugar and cocoa, they buy fair trade! All of Mad Hatter's cases and boxes are recycled and are recyclable and as far as we know, they are the only Cupcake company to offer gluten free and wheat free scrummy goodness.
This March, Mad Hatters are cooking up magical movie treat for 'Secrets of the Boudoir Burlesque Goes to the Movies': they will be baking a huge movie themed cake and donating it to our raffle. That is all the information they will give us, because they want the cake to be a surprise! We cannot wait to find out what it will be! Join us on Sunday the 6th March at West Street Live in Sheffield to see what is in store from Mad Hatters Cupcake Company! Details of our show can be found at www.secretsoftheboudoirburlesque.com/events.

We hope our Grotto warmed your cockles!
Thank you to all who attended our Christmas Grotto last night!
It was lovely to see you all inside our Grotto looking glamorous, keeping warm and having fun!
We hope you got a chance to browse our superb stalls: Mad Hatters, Imogen's Imagination, The Dollhouse and the Vintage Salon, before settling down to watch some fabulous burlesque, dance, striptease and cabaret!
Amidst the tables and the tinsel we saw a strange and enchanted dwarf who soon turned our attentions to the frosty Ice Queen Scarlett D'Lyte! During her mystical routine, Scarlett transformed our venue into the magical land of Narnia. Creative, imaginative, beautiful and captivating, a personal favourite of mine, this performance truly chilled us, thrilled us and thrust us directly into a winter wonderland!
We also had an amazing routine from the oh-so-beautiful Starla Bright who gave us a sweet and sexy treat in the form of a 'Candy Cane Christmas! Equipped with a gigantic candy cane Starla took to the stage, tantalised and teased us with her cute dancing and her cheeky striptease!
Our Grotto would not be complete without a present from Santa and this present was delivered in the form of the ever-so-sexy Evie Farrah! She came out of her Barbie box and showed us all what a big 'Ego' she had by shaking her thang and working us all into a sweat! Evie later returned as our mean green Grinch and wreaked havoc on our stage, tearing up presents from underneath our Christmas tree! You're a mean one Mrs. Grinch!
The Ashay Dance Troupe were a wonder to watch as they shimmied to 'Santa Baby' with grace and elegance like no other troupe we know!
Duke O'Growl remained as gorgeous as ever as he made a present of himself and his singing talent to Deadly Nightshade, Knickerbockerglory and Cherry Du Bois! Knickerbockerglory got the pleasure of singing with The Duke earlier in the evening when the delicious duo gave us a wonderful rendition of 'Mommy Kissing Santa Claus' to get us in the Christmas mood!
Cherry Du Bois and Scarlet Noir pointed out that 'Baby it's Cold Outside' and we should all come and warm ourselves, getting hot under the collar by watching Christmas twins frolic around our stage!
How can we forget our Marylin-esque beauty Sian de Lier who provided us with a naughty routine as she tore into a present of 'Red Shoes', danced around our stage uncontrollably and stripped down to her tassles! She also returned to tease us as 'Jessica Snow Rabbit' - a vision in white with the voice of an angel! Sian later came on stage to wish us all a 'Merry Little Christmas' before we went home to our warm beds!
And what 'Secrets' night would be complete without our delicious compere in fishnets and heels...the dashing Mr. Warren Peace?! Warren made us laugh as he warmed our winter hearts with his witty banter and cabaret crooning! A true credit to our shows!
Let us not forget to give a huge thank you to Rachael Parkes and Anwar Suliman, our photographers for the evening, and a huge round of applause to our venue and to Tam and Taz for putting up with me and my requests and my urge to hang Christmas decorations in the highest of places! Let out a massive cheer for our D.J Mr. Vince Spitfire who provides us with the music for our events and has to deal with many strange music formats!
If you have any photographs or videos from our event, please add them to Facebook or send them to deadlynightshade@secretsoftheboudoirburlesque.com. Our official photographs and videos will be up soon!
Merry Christmas everyone and a Happy New Year!

So come along and celebrate a burlesque Christmas in style with candy canes, chocolate coins, cupcakes, burlesque, striptease, cabaret, vaudeville, vintage and shopping!
