Are you ready?

So we are just a week away from launching our brand new shop on Ecclesall Road, Sheffield and are very, very excited.

Having opened a few Fancie shops, we are pretty well versed in the challenges that present themselves while setting up a new home for our delicious cakes. This, however is a new challenge all together....

We have transformed a fairly tired Wedding dress shop into a haven of cool; a place to meet, eat, drink and relax with your nearest and dearest. Come for Breakfast and stay for lunch, we will have our usual range of delicious coffees served by our baristas, sumptuous Hot Chocolates and have just been approved to sell Twinings premium range of loose leaf teas 'Rituals', which are as beautiful in their jars as they are delicious on your palette.

We will be using local meats supplied by John Crawshaws, delicious jams and chutneys made by our friends at Catherine's Choice, locally farmed fruit and veg and of course, ice cream by Our Cow Molly.

Expect the unexpected, Fancie has grown up.

Fancie vouchers- the perfect gift!

Fancie 'Happen to be's'

  Fancie goes Vegan!

So we tried these out today.... 

They are fabulous on so many levels:

* Vegan

* Low Fat

* Low Sugar

* made using Pumpkin oil from a local company (we love using local)

Most important of all they are completely delicious! Think a rich, moist carrot cake with a really deep nutty taste and a lovely light lemon finish and you are somewhere close.

We have so many requests in for special diets but it is really important for us to delivery a product which not only meets dietary requirements but is absolutely delicious and would appeal to all our customers. I describe these as our 'happen to be's' because they are a delicious treat in their own right but happen to be vegan or dairy/ gluten free!

The Pumpkin oil we used is so versatile and really delicious, you can use it for everything from bread dipping to salad drizzling to using to cook with. Get it from here http://www.pumpkinoil.co.uk/

Look out for hese and other delicious 'Happen to be's' in our stores of the next few months! Xx

Observer Food Monthly Awards!

Yesterday we found out that we had got Runner Up position in the Observer Food Monthly Awards for Britain's Best Independent Retailer!

Thank you to everyone who voted for us this year, it really means a lot to be nominated for national foodie awards like this and is great to get the hard work of the Fancie team rewarded like this.

Well done to the winner and all the other Runner Ups!

It's that time of year again...

It's that time of year again...

Despite the moans and grumbles we feel we must make when the first leaves fall or we realise that we no longer need the black out blinds to help us sleep (and then someone reminds you the clocks go back next week- oh joy!) there is something truely wonderful about Autumn.  Maybe it's just the fact that the season is changing, and come May next year I will say the same thing but for me, there is nothing more life affirming that seeing your breath in the cold air, or meeting up with friends and watching the night draw in from the comfort of a warm eatery.

This time of year is so wonderful for food too, with Halloween, Bonfire Night and Christmas all on the horizon. The bikini diet is well and truly over and now it is our duty to fatten up so we have reason to declare our New Years Resolutions and avoid chocolate for the whole of January- or at least for the first week!

I am so lucky in my job to be able to use the things that inspire me in life to create wonderful treats for our customers. Every Friday, we sit down and plan the specials for the week ahead, finding out what our grocer has a glut of and working with that or tweaking a recipe found in an old magazine. 

We are currently working on our Christmas flavours which are always fun to create, mixing old techniques with new flavour combos.

Fancie is open 7 days a week, every week up until Christmas Day- so no excuses not to come and visit!

Somewhere over the Rainbow Cake...

Never ones to shy away from experimenting, we have been spending a lot of time perfecting our range of Rainbow Cakes. Inspired by rainy summer days (thanks England!) our rainbow cakes have been created in all shapes, sizes and colour ranges.

We absolutely adore them, they always get a massive WOW as soon as the inside is revealed!

Look at our pics and get inspired! Xx
