Sat 5th May 12 Appetite Cake Break
'Following on from the success of 'A Day in the Life of a Sheffield Appetite', Clare and Ros of Appetite have already planned a 'small appetite' event in the form of a Cake Break on Saturday 5 May, as part of M.S. Awareness Week.
The M.S Society is very close to Ros’ heart as her mum has had M.S. for over 25 years. Wanting to help promote awareness of the condition, Appetite is proud to be hosting this event. After all it was helping her mum with the cooking that sparked Ros’ love of food.
Focusing on producers in the Sheffield area, there will be cakes, muffins and brownies from Komal of Fusion Organic Cafe, Honey Pie Tearoom, Heavenlies, Thelma’s Café, Cat Lane Bakery, My Honeybunch Cake Pops, #Brownies and Spoon Café Bistro amongst others donated by family and friends (all of whom Appetite have tried and tested!).
As there's nothing better than a piece of cake and a cuppa, the event will be held at independent coffee shop Tamper Coffee (on Westfield Terrace) who have kindly donated their premises. Along with Jonathan at Tamper's amazing coffee selection, there will be tea provided by Kirsty of Tea Box and both of them will be there to help you pair up your cake and your cuppa.
There may also be chance to taste some new experimental varieties; designed especially for the event.
There is no need to book a place at this event and you can drop into Tamper at any time between 12 and 3 on Saturday 5 May for your cuppa and cake fix. All profits from the cake sales will go to the MS Society making these cakes practically guilt free!
For more information check out the Appetite website at www.appetite-sheffield.co.uk<http://www.appetite-sheffield.co.uk/>.'
Sat 5th May 12 Drams and Drinking Songs @ The Rude Shipyard
A night of fine whiskys, friendly faces, live music and tasty food.
The eagerly awaited follow up to our hugely successful whisky tasting with a difference.
Featuring rousing celtic folk and rock from James Cannon and the Sinners, and your own Open Mic Drinking Songs Session.
If you've got a drinking song you want to sing, email Sally and Ric at info@therudeshipyard.com and we'll pop your name on the list.
This time we're taking you on a magical whiskery tour, with whisky(ey) from England, Ireland Wales and Scotland...
Ireland - Red Breast 12yr Old
A multi-award winning Irish whisky and the only aged pure pot still whisky on the market.
England - St. George's Distillery Chapter 9
This is the first ever peated English single malt and we're told it tastes incredible.
Wales - Penderyn Single Malt
Matured in bourbon barrels and finished in Madeira casks. This was named Micro Distillery Whisky of the Year 2008.
Scotland - Dailuaine 16 yr old
A very smooth, warm and rich Speyside, with reviews so good it may even turn you Lagavulin lovers.
So that's your starters, but there'll be more to try on the night, including the hard to come by Ardbeg Alligator. Why Alligator you say? Well, say they, a portion of the whisky is aged in barrels so charred that they start to crack a little on the inside, resembling an alligator's skin.
We're also raffling off a very fine bottle of whisky and five whole Chocolate Guinness Cakes. Tickets available from The Rude Shipyard and www.wegottickets.com
So, get your £15 earlybird tickets for entry + 4 drams* at...

Wed 16th May 12 Cake Auction
This year Komal Mononoke will be holding a few cake auctions to raise money for various charities.
Komal will be using Ebay to auction off the cakes.
Each cake will be handmade by Komal with natural and wholesome ingredients and the winner can choose from 3 options as well as request a gluten free/ vegan cake if she or he so desires.
The plan is to have five seperate cake auctions, starting on the 18th of april with one being held every week until the 16th of may.
Each auction will be raising money for a selected charity. A quick summary of the charity will be added alongside the details for the cake.
There will be three different varieties of cakes for the winner to choose from and will be freshly baked by Komal the day after the auction has finished.
The cake then belongs to the winner,who will feel satisfied from their good deed and then satisfied again once they have enjoyed the cake.
Inspiration struck Komal one day when she was contemplating the amount people are willing to pay to eat good, home made cake.
Komal thought about how amazing it would be to have some sort of cake auction to raise money for charity!
There is a sponser page set up, seperately from the auctions so that people can donate that way if they wish. Money raised on the page will be split between the five charities.
Below are the five charities Komal has choosen to use:
1.the hunger project because I think its fantastic that by selling a few cakes here in sheffield we can raise money to give food to people in the poorer parts of the world.
2.malaria no more - I chose this because of how little is needed to save lives, only £5 is enough for a mosquito net for 2 people.
3.sheffield cat shelter - I am a big cat lover, having adopted my cat from the shelter and wanting to take every feline friend home whenever I visit, it only makes sense that I support their temporary loving home.
4.save the children I chose because its an amazing charity and helps the most vulnerable of people - children.
5.water for africa is the final charity and I chose it because people may take the abundance of fresh clean water for granted over here but in africa they are so grateful. I hope to raise money to make a difference to someones life out there.
