This weeks guest blogger- Omar Soliman.

It's the same routine every week and for some reason I never see sense to change it. The weekend has arrived but a couple of hours on a Saturday afternoon are spent sweating out in preparation for the debauchery which will ensue. This particular routine of lie-in then gym probably does not differ from most. After the endomorphins have kicked in and the adrenaline is pumping, the hunger pangs begin and where do I decide to walk? That's right, through the Winter Gardens and past Fancie. You can't smell the cupcakes but as soon as that giant pink sign rears its head round the corner, my eyes (and my stomach) are already paying the most devoted attention.

Do the sums. 1000 calories, 90 minutes, and a shower. Do you bank the lost pounds or chomp down on some well deserved cupcakes? The heart and the belly prey give in, but the head says no. Temptation is indeed an awful thing when the sin is so heavenly. Dammit. Next time I'm getting the bus home. Or maybe just another double session on the crosstrainer.

Exciting few weeks!

So there's a rumble in the Fancie jungle (bakery!)

We have had a lovely new face lift in preparation for some pretty exciting developments which will be revealed in a few weeks. Yesterday we had a delivery of new decorating and baking benches, so there's enough room to keep up with demand and accommodate the whole Fancie Team!

Our army of bakers have also been busy experimenting with new treats to tempt you:
Oversized Macaroons will be hitting the shelves over the next few days and are really worth the visit,
the Fondant Fancies have seen us creating a rainbow of brightly coloured fresh fondant ready for dipping and our Pistachio Cupcakes are back!!

We listened to your cries for healthy treats and are now offering Blueberry muffins fresh every day drizzle with a teeny bit of white chocolate so you don't miss out your bit of naughtyness!

We have also been working alongside The Apprentice finalist Claire Young doing some exciting work with school children around Yorkshire. We're going to after school cookery clubs teaching them about cupcakes and enterprise- who knows, maybe we're even creating a whole next generation of Fancie bakers!


Keep your ears and eyes peeled for some exciting news to come......
