Happy birthday Nicole 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰

Nicole is 14 today! She loves all things light blue, small and cute, mamma mia, dancing, acro and of course the red squirrel. 🩵💙🩵💙

Nicole's mom has been my customer since the very first brown bags of fudge left my kitchen 🥰

Obviously being a business and doing what I love is great, but I have built genuine friendships, and made really long lasting connections from this, and bringing smiles to people by making something from their favourite things, is ultimately the biggest cup filler!

Have a wonderful day sweetheart ###

Love
Chez xx

It's my middle daughters birthday tomorrow. Her name is Storm (she suits it 😂) and I have made her class a bunch of paw print biscuits.

Initially she wanted all the big cats, but with 30 kids in the class, and regular orders on the go, I managed to convince her to go for paws instead 😁

Vanilla bean biscuits with a lemon and cotton candy royal icing 😋 😍 👌 💕

Throwback Thursday to where it all began....

Hi there! I’m Cheryl, the one behind the scenes making all the delicious treats. Born and raised in South Africa, I trained as a chef and hotel manager in Durban, KZN. My love for confectionery and pastry runs deep, and I’ve been an entrepreneur for as long as I can remember.

As a mom to three girls, I wanted to find something I could do that worked around their busy schedules. I initially opened a beauty salon, but when COVID hit, I had to close it down. That’s when I turned to my background in food science and my passion for creating quality confections. I set out on a mission to create the perfect fudge.

Let me tell you, “Fudge my life!” was all I could say during the week I came up with the recipe!

I spent hours tweaking an old Zimbabwean recipe, determined to recreate a childhood favourite of mine. It was a melt-in-your-mouth, decadent treat I used to buy at my school tuck shop, and I would save every coin just to get one piece. After 16 batches and a lot of frustration, Fudge My Life was born.

But my journey didn’t stop there. Another favourite from my childhood was zoo biscuits—a household staple that brought so much joy. When I couldn’t find them anymore, I decided to create my own version. This project led me to develop a full product line of personalized biscuits that people now love and enjoy.I come by my confectionery skills honestly. My grandmother was a well-known icing judge and cake maker in South Africa. She taught me many of the skills I use today as I was growing up, and she continues to inspire and guide me. She’s even the editor of Sugar Craft magazine, and her expertise has been an invaluable part of my journey.

This business is more than just a job to me—it’s a blend of my passion and creativity, all wrapped up in a beautiful, pink package. Every piece is made with so much love and care, and each batch is personally quality-tested by me. My kitchen proudly holds a 5-star hygiene rating, and I source my ingredients locally. Our fudge contains no preservatives, uses only the finest organic ingredients, and is gluten-free too!

I truly appreciate all my amazing customers—without you, we wouldn’t be where we are today. Thank you for your support!

Can you believe I have bookings right up until June already 😅😱😱😱 this year I am also doing my first biscuit wedding favours for one of my very first customers. She used to order from me when I delivered from the boot of my car. What a journey. I am honoured to be asked to be part of her special day 🥰🥰🥰🥰

Tray Bake Cutter Instructions

Achieve perfectly uniform slices with minimal effort! Follow these simple guidelines for different types of bakes.

---

1. Oven Bakes (e.g., Brownies, Cakes, Shortbread)

Examples: Brownies, sponge cakes, shortbread, blondies, tray bake slices.

When to Cut: When the bake is lukewarm.

Instructions:

1. Allow your bake to cool slightly after removing it from the oven. It should be warm enough to cut without crumbling but not so hot that it falls apart.

2. Place your cutter gently over the bake and press down firmly to slice.

3. Remove the cutter and separate the pieces as needed.

---

2. Fridge Bakes (e.g., Millionaire Shortbread, Malteser Slice)

Examples: Millionaire shortbread, Malteser slice, rocky road, no-bake cheesecake bars, caramel slices.

When to Cut: After setting, but not too cold.

Instructions:

1. Let the bake set at room temperature for about 1 hour.

2. Place it in the fridge for 10-15 minutes to firm up slightly, but avoid letting it get too hard.

3. Remove from the fridge and use your cutter immediately while the bake is firm but not brittle.

4. For chocolate-topped bakes, pressing gently can help avoid cracking the chocolate layer.

---

Tips for Best Results

Always ensure the bake is on a flat surface for clean cuts.

For sticky or gooey bakes (e.g., brownies), lightly grease the cutter with cooking spray or wipe with a damp cloth between cuts.

Avoid using the cutter on completely cooled or hardened bakes, as this may cause cracking or uneven slices.

The official record for Fudge my life

200 biscuits is now the largest order I have had to date 🥰🥰🥰

I'm so grateful for my relationship with Finastra. This corporate company has given me the ability to upgrade some of my kitchen equipment, which in turn, has allowed me to continue my art for both larger and smaller orders alike, and simultaneously 🥰😍🥰

It's been wonderful stepping into the corporate genre. Scary at first, but I enjoy the different elements it gives me.

These babies are being Hand delivered today!

🥰🥰🥰🥰
