Slattery’s started life in 1967, as a bakery and cake shop opened by Bernard and Margaret Slattery. As their children grew, so too did their interest in baking, cake making and confectionary. Although, over the years, new outlets opened and closed, the businesses reputation continued to grow, and in the 1980s, Slattery’s won the UK Bakers of The Year award four years in succession.
Now, three generations and fifty years later, the business is more emporium than small shop. Situated in Bury New Road, Whitefield, Manchester, the business comprises a ground floor housing the main retail outlet and celebration and wedding cake showroom. The first floor contains the ‘Masons Dining Room’. A busy diner serving breakfasts, lunches, afternoon teas, snacks, cakes and of course, chocolate. Also on the first floor is the comprehensive bakery, opened in 2012 and supplying both the shop and businesses around Manchester. Finally the top floor is given over to teaching. Slattery offer courses in chocolate making, sugar craft, baking, and cake making.
For years Slattery have been famous for their different themed Easter eggs, including Game of Thrones dragon eggs, and even selfie eggs, where a selfie picture is printed on the chocolate. Now, with Easter just around the corner, they have been approached by the Zymurgorium micro-Brewery, to produce an Easter egg to launch their new ‘unicorn’ pink, marshmallow tasting, liqueur gin.
Slattery came up with a strawberry chocolate egg covered in an edible pearlescent coating, with a 50cl bottle of ‘Unicorn’ pink Zymurgorium liqueur gin, inside the egg. The egg is completed with rainbow sugar icing unicorn mane, ears, eyelashes and horn. As well as being sold from the Slattery business in Whitefield, they will be on-sale at House of Fraser and Selfridges in the Trafford Centre and Exchange Square Manchester, and retail for £49.
