Sprinkles on everything

Get creative with icing and sprinkles

Swirls of icing, mountains of sprinkles and a cupcake that's entirely your own creation. Join our ResLife Ambassadors at John Wood for an evening of cupcake decorating.

Pick your icing, choose your toppings and get creative. Go neat and elegant, bold and colourful, or pile on as many sprinkles as the cupcake can hold. There's no wrong way to decorate, and half the fun is seeing what everyone else comes up with.

You don't need any baking skills, as we'll provide ready-baked iced cupcakes and all the decorations. Just bring yourself and your sweet tooth.

It's a relaxed way to take a break midweek and meet the people in your building. Come with your flatmates or on your own, and leave with a treat you've made yourself.

Ice, ice, baby.

ResLife Ambassadors will meet you in the John Wood Social Space. The space is fully accessible with automatic doors and accessible toilets on the ground floor. There is plenty of seating available.

ResLife Ambassadors will be there to welcome you. You'll be able to recognise them in their light blue RLA hoodies and t-shirts with the ResLife logo on.

There will be some unstructured time at the start while people arrive. If you're coming on your own, our RLAs will happily introduce you to others or find you a seat.

RLAs will get you set up with ready-baked iced cupcakes, icing and toppings, and share a few decorating ideas if you need inspiration. You can enjoy your cupcakes at the event or take them home.

The cupcakes are suitable for vegetarians, but are not vegan or gluten free. You can check the full ingredients and allergen information here. All allergens will be clearly labelled, and if you have any dietary requirements, let a member of the team know on arrival.

You can chat while you work or keep to yourself, whatever feels most comfortable. You're welcome to leave and re-join at any point.

If you need a quieter spot or a break, just let one of our RLAs know and they'll be happy to help.

If you would like to attend more events like this one, make sure to check the ResLife Events page regularly for our latest updates.
