Everyone's favourite doughnut spot Doh'hut are providing doughnut loving brides and grooms with their dream wedding cake.
Gone are the days of stodgy fruit cake and thick white icing as Doh'hut Leeds are changing the wedding cake game forever.
Chances are, if you’re a regular in Leeds, you’ve walked past Doh’hut many a time. Nestled moments from Boar Lane, the doughnut specialists are known in the city as a firm cult favourite- and it’s not difficult to see why.
With an ever-changing menu of flavours with light, crisp dough topped with sugar- the sweet treats here are a standout favourite for those looking for a snack on a lunch break, for a weekend treat- or if you’re anything like us, you’ll find any excuse to head over to Trevelyan Square and drool over the options available until you cave in.

And now, Doh'hut are dipping their toes into the wedding cake industry with a doughnut wedding tier cake. And yes, it's just as amazing as it sounds.
Think five tiers of glorious doughnuts nestled between beautiful fresh flowers, no more waiting around for the cake to be cut - guests can just grab a doughnut and dive in before getting back on the dance floor.
Posting to Instagram about the incredible creation, Doh'hut said: "This weekend we helped to organise a gorgeous wedding donut tier with flowers provided by @emmaleex2...LOVE WINS."
Comments on the post prove followers were left in complete awe, leaving comments such as: "This. Is. The. Best. Thing. I’ve. Ever. Seen."
"If this is not my wedding cake, I’m not getting married."
And the best part is, Doh'hut are happy to help make your day as special as possible by customising your cake to your liking. Fancy a mixture of flavours? You got it. All chocolate? Of course.
So now all that's left for us to do is find someone as equally as obsessed with Doh'hut doughnuts as us, and then marry them so we can have a cake creation of our own. Sounds simple right?
An independent açai bowl pop-up is opening a permanent cafe in Leeds city centre.
It seems the açai bowl trend isn't over just yet, and we're absolutely not mad about it.
The aesthetically purple frozen treat isn't just delicious, but is also known to have numerous health benefits making it guilt-free and the perfect post-workout pick me up.
You may remember Açai Social Club that opened as a pop-up in the Victoria Quarter last year, and now they're moving into a permanent spot in the city centre.
Run by a lovely husband and wife duo who have spent the last 15 months exploring cafes around the world, it's safe to say they know exactly what they're talking about.
Their açai is made with the very best ingredients, topped with the freshest fruit and sprinkled with their homemade granola - it doesn't get much better then that does it?
Announcing the very exciting news to Instagram, they said: "Açai Social Club is getting a home. Our very first store is officially on the way! We’ve been working behind the scenes to create a space that’s more about than just açai.
"What started as an idea is finally becoming something you can walk into…There’s still a lot we’re keeping under wraps for now, but we’re so excited to finally share the beginning of what’s to come.
"We can’t wait to open our doors and welcome you in. Your new neighbourhood social club, coming soon."
The exact location of the cafe and its opening date is still under wraps, but we'll of course keep you updated as and when we find out.
The Leeds Supper Club bringing people together over incredible food
Clementine Hall
What started as a simple idea around food has grown into something much bigger for Leeds Supper Club.
The idea was born from a love of food and the idea that eating together can be about much more than what’s on your plate.
Rather than simply going out to a restaurant, Leeds Supper Club puts connection at the heart of its events, bringing people together to share incredible food and enjoy an evening in good company.
We had the pleasure of attending their most recent event where we had the most wonderful evening with founders Lizzie, Phillip and the rest of the club.

This instalment was a very special one, as it was in collaboration with Knotfield Vine over in Horsforth.
I mean, it really doesn't get more scenic than this - we really felt like we'd been whisked away to the South of France rather than a Leeds suburb. But we wouldn't want it either way.

What makes it a cut above the rest is the details. Every little detail has been thought out, from the low-lit, sexy lighting, hand-made name plates, live music and four courses of wonderful seasonal goodness made fresh.
From enjoying a glass of wine within the vines alongside a couple of nibbles to tucking into a three course meal around a candle-lit table, there's really nowhere else like it.

The tagliatelle pasta with beef and whipped feta was a real highlight, and knowing Lizzie and Philip receive help on the menu and the cooking from all their friends made it taste that much sweeter.
By the end of it we'd had some delicious food, fabulous wine and shared even better conversation. And it's safe to say we left feeling a part of the club.
Keep an eye on their Instagram page here for all upcoming events.
