A shameful plug!!

What started out as a fundraising initiative has grown into something more! Mum and I started making fudge, (naming the business "sweet & sassy") to sell to fund my own costs for the trip we began selling at markets, to family, friends and to my friends at school. People LOVE it and from those small beginnings we have now sold for wedding favours, restaurant supply and retail, working from a registered kitchen.

We sell six delicious flavours -

"Divine White Chocolate" - which is white chocolate based and similar to a Russian fudge - only better!
"Jersey Caramel" - a traditional caramel flavour,
"Decadent Chocolate" - a dark full flavoured one for the chocoholics - you know who you are!,
"Chocolate and Honeycomb" dark chocolate paired with golden pieces of honeycomb,
"Ginger,White Chocolate & Walnut" - Mum's favourite (a must if you love Ginger!),
"Coffee & Walnut" another divine flavour and another one of Mum's favourites....

If you love a smooth, creamy fudge this one is definitely for you! It is made with pure ingredients, with no preservatives added, and therefore is made to be enjoyed fresh! Each bag is beautifully packaged, sealed in a cellophane bag for freshness, and outer wrapped in a colourful bag and label. Each flavour has a different colour bag ranging from turquoise, hot pink, marine blue, purple, lime and orange.

For wedding favors we can package in a beautiful white gloss box, and satin ribbon with a diamante closure. For orders and pricing please discuss with mum on green33@xtra.co.nz

A great gift idea for Easter, Mothers Day, Fathers Day,Birthdays, Christmas, Valentines, Weddings, Corporate gifts, thank you gifts, or just for you! Sales of this fudge are funding my personal costs to be able to go on this expedition, and I am donating $1.00 from each bag sold to "Kids for Cambodia Charitable Trust".

Prices for our fudge through our blog is only $6.00 per bag which is approximately a 200g size (gram weight can vary depending on the additions to the fudge e.g. honeycomb, or ginger and walnut additives).

orders can be emailed to green33@xtra.co.nz putting "fudge order" in the title line. Please give mum minimum 2 days notice for smaller orders, or for larger orders such as weddings, corporate discuss with mum.

Here is what one bride has said about her order of fudge for her "wedding favours"...

“We chose "sweet & sassy" homemade fudge as favours for our 150 guests at our wedding in January 2010. I bought small boxes and we personalized them with lace print card and black ribbon which brought our overall colour theme together perfectly. I had tried the fudge at a previous function and I can only describe it as “divine” … I have not ever tried anything like it before. The fudge was the talking point of our entire wedding, and many guests asked me the next day if there was more … luckily we ordered enough to cater for the following day as well, and our guests left very happy! I am really happy that we were able to give our guests a homemade and personal favour that they actually enjoyed, as many weddings I have been to the favours are thrown out – no one left their favours behind at our wedding! I whole-heartedly recommend "sweet & sassy" homemade fudge for any event - especially weddings. Sarah and Sophie, thank you so much for helping make our wedding day so memorable for our guests.”

Once again I am donating $1.00 per bag sold through my blog to our Charity "Kids for Cambodia Charitable Trust" - so our new slogan should read "Eat fudge - save a life"!

NB: In the photo it is labelled as "Bite Homemade Fudge" which was our original market name but has since changed to "sweet & sassy" homemade fudge.
