22a Norfolk Row.<br />
Nestled amongst the cobbles of<br />
Norfolk Row, just off Fargate, cafe 22a<br />
offers a welcome break from the usual<br />
providers of our daily caffeine intake.<br />
This charming tea room promotes an<br />
originality created from the mother-daughter<br />
relationship of the owners Lyn and Victoria.<br />
If white chocolate and strawberry<br />
cheesecake, homemade flapjack and fudge<br />
cake (all gluten free) don’t tempt you, then<br />
please allow the hot chocolate menu to. Yes!<br />
A menu dedicated to nothing but the most<br />
inventive hot chocolate recipes you will ever<br />
try. Try the Dalmatian - divine hot chocolate<br />
with lashings of cream and finished off with<br />
chocolate buttons. Or how about the Prince<br />
Charming served with a real chocolate<br />
frog! All of which have been created by staff<br />
members.<br />
Without giving away the secrets of their<br />
delicious recipes, owner Lyn said: “Our staff<br />
have a lot of involvement with our menu – we<br />
regularly have cook-offs!”<br />
She believes that’s what makes her<br />
little corner of Sheffield so unique. “If I go<br />
somewhere else I want to find a place that is<br />
different. I think it is a shame that big chains<br />
make Sheffield the same as everywhere else.”<br />

Fancie Cupcakes HQ is a wonderland of<br />
chocolate, whipped cream and rainbow<br />
sprinkles.<br />
Strewn through Amanda Perry’s house from<br />
kitchen to living room were rolling pins, designs,<br />
heart shaped cutters and cupcakes fresh from<br />
the oven.<br />
“It’s not usually this messy!” she blushed, but<br />
it was not mess I could see; rather the house of<br />
someone who truly loves what they do and is<br />
totally immersed in it.<br />
Amanda started her business just over a year<br />
ago after deciding to ditch the 9-5 and make<br />
her hobby her livelihood.<br />
As with all good Sheffield independents,<br />
Amanda’s main ethos is quality. “I think it is so<br />
important to be able to see and taste the love<br />
that goes into food. It turns a cake into a very<br />
personal and thoughtful gift.”<br />
Fancie Cupcakes can be tailored to fit any<br />
occasion and can even include a personalised<br />
message or design. If you’re looking for a fun<br />
and quirky gift or if you’ve just got a giant sweet<br />
tooth that needs satisfying, these cupcakes are<br />
sure to delight all that taste them.<br />
