A candy wonderland opened on Saturday 27th March just off Nottingham's market square.The shop is called Sugar Cane it can be found in one of those quaint little buildings by the Flying Horse Arcade.
Along with the opening of the store, was a display of a local artist's work who is inspired by and uses sweets in their work. Their colourful, playful artwork was even used as invitations to the stores launch party!! This collaboration has made the sweet shop seem more upmarket and more of a big deal than the rest of the sweet shops that line Nottingham's streets; the publics preconceptions of art and galleries had definately given the sweet shop a touch of class, which widened its available target market, as there were people of all ages and backgrounds clutching at their childhood favourites.
The store is brimming with old school favourites and amazing candy gadgets attracting you to all corners of the store with its yummy displays. Giant models of some of the more well known sweets decorate the store and really give it this candyland atmosphere, also taking some of us older customers back to their childhood when we were convinced everything was a great deal larger than it is now....it gives Willy Wonka a run for his money!!
In the back of the shop is a more sophisticated side with homemade chocolates and truffles which were oh so tempting!!
And to really to test you is a milkshake bar where you can make your own chocolate and sweet inspired milkshakes, calorific and delicious!!
Its a must see, so i'd check it out, before everything is devoured!!
