Fudge is Popular at Night Markets too

Yesterday we attended the City Bowl Market in Hope Street for the first time and tonight we will be making our second visit to the Constantia Waldorf Night Market .

The City Bowl Night Market appeared to have a very good variety of food and drink and our fudge was a great way to end off the meal with something sweet or a gift to take away. We especially approved of the patron who bought 2 packets of fudge before trying anything else at the market and said "now that I've got your delicious fudge, I don't need anything else!"

We look forward to offering our range of pieces and packets at the Waldorf Night Market tonight.Our advice is to get there reasonably early tonight as this market appears to be pretty popular and we may well sell out of certain flavours before the end. The Waldorf opens at 5.00pm and closes at 9.00pm.

If you can't get there tonight then we will be at Porter Estate Market and The Palms Market tomorrow morning as usual.

So come and pay us a visit, taste some of our fudge and take a packet or a piece for someone special or simply indulge yourself!

Fudge at Bishops Carnival Today

Today you will find us at the all day Bishop's Carnival in Rondebosch from 10.00am until 10.00pm, as well as at our regular Palms Market in Woodstock and Porter Market in Tokai [depending upon the weather] appearances. On Sunday morning, we will be at The Natural Goods Market at Central Park, Century City

We also invite you to visit our Facebook Page

Thanks for Tasting and Buying

To all who tasted and bought our fudge at the 6 market appearances we had this past fortnight, we would like to extend a big thank you! To newly converted supporters of our fudge, we were delighted with your positive comments. To our regulars, thanks so much for your on-going support. We continue to produce the best that we are able to. We are also developing new flavours. Look out for our NEW Festive Fruit Fudge and Peanut-Butter Fudge - available at the Palms Market in Woodstock and Porter Estate Produce Market in Tokai, this Saturday morning [10 November]

We had a great time at the Constantia Waldorf Night Market recently and look forward to being back there again on Friday 30 November 2012. Similarly, our presence at the Natural Goods Market on Sunday 27 November was a most worthwhile experience and we hope to return there on the last Sunday of this month.

The Waldorf Night Market was a busy and energetic gathering with families and young people filling up the market towards 6.00pm. Our fudge table was extremely popular and many people also came back for another piece or packet. 

The Natural Goods Market has a lovely setting on Central Park and within the protection of a giant stretch tent that also gave a special ambiance to the whole affair. In addition, a little train made regular visits to the market, dropping off passengers from Canal Walk Shopping Centre and elsewhere.

Two New Markets for Glorious Fudge this Weekend

We are most excited to be offering some of Cape Town's favourite fudge at two new markets this weekend... at least the markets are new to us.

Join us this Friday evening [26 October] at The Constantia Waldorf Night Market and on Sunday 28 October at The Natural Goods Market at Central Park, Century City. In addition, we will be back at the truly outdoor Porter Estate Produce Market in Tokai and the trendy Palms Market in Woodstock, both this coming Saturday morning. So you can visit us at any of 4 Cape Town markets this weekend to taste and stock up with your favourite fudge flavours.

Which piece would you like?

Both the Constantia Waldorf Night Market and the Natural Goods Market are closed for the winter months and so we are delighted to be able to get on board as their 2012 - 2013 summer seasons gets under way.

The Waldorf Market is open on Friday from 5pm to 9pm and at last count, there appear to be in excess of 100 stalls, ranging from fresh produce, food cooked at the market, to clothing, hand made crafts, sustainability and entertainment. Don't forget to visit us for what we hope you'll agree, is some of the finest fudge to be found anywhere in Constantia or the Southern Suburbs of Cape Town, for that matter. You should find us inside the hall (middle aisle, towards the back). Come and taste our honey fudge, our ginger fudge, our double chocolate fudge or our simply plain, but oh so smooooth traditional butter fudge (and many more flavours besides).

The Natural Goods Market is open on the last Sunday of every month during summer (except for December) from 9.00am until 2.00pm. To get to Central Park, once on Century Boulevard, follow the Intaka Island signs to Park Lane.  The line-up includes interesting arts and crafts, great food and entertainment and of course some of the best fudge by far from Fudge Glorious Fudge @ Sugarman. Read more about the Century City Natural Goods Market here. Don't forget the offer of free Ratanga Junction Train Rides...  after you've tried our brown sugar butter fudge, our black forest chocolate cherry fudge and if you are brave enough, our American style chocolate chilli fudge!

Porter Estate Market is open every Saturday from 9.00am until 1.00pm (weather permitting) and is a great outdoor market for you, your family and even your well-behaved and controlled dog[s]. Dogs have been known to try to get a taste of our fudge and who can blame them? They usually have a good nose for something special. But we would rather YOU tried our bite size chocolate fudge nuggets in tins or our new Espresso Wellington Squares - espresso, dark chocolate, fudge and shortbread biscuit. Its like espresso and a bit of fancy fudge, all in one. Dare we say... its dry, but you can eat it?

The Palms Lifestyle Centre is a delightful haven in the middle of bustling Woodstock. The market is situated in the central atrium area with food and drink on the ground level and art and craft tables on the level above. Bring your cash as you will need it [the local ATM is currently being replaced], especially for what many claim to be the smoothest traditional and other flavoured fudges fudges to be had in the City Bowl area of Cape Town, or any other area for that matter. Vanilla fudge is very popular, but then there are our decadent Wellington Squares [some call them Millionaire Shortbread]... doesn't really matter what you call them - just taste them - chocolate, fudge and shortbread. In a word... YUM! Oh yes - covered parking garage for your car and The Palms Market is open Saturday from 9.00am until 2.00pm [irrespective of the weather]. Now open weekly!

So if you have a sweet tooth**, we've got the weekend covered for you ... on Friday, Saturday and Sunday and a great spread of fudge around Cape Town, from the Southern Suburbs to the City Bowl to the gateway to the Northern Suburbs.

Next week, look out for our report back about these two "new" markets.. or better still why don't you visit them and us and see and taste and buy for yourself! Put our fudge to the taste. We are pretty sure your taste-buds will be delighted.

About Time

Although we may have marked a little bit of time with this blog, our fudge has been moving along very nicely, thanks to our enthusiastic customers, most of whom come back time and again.

Wellington Squares and our Double Chocolate Fudge
and Coconut Ice in the corner

We have had a busy time both at the outdoor Porter Estate Produce Market and the newer and exciting market destination at the Palms Lifestyle Centre in Woodstock (currently open every second Saturday morning).

We have launched our new sister brand "Sugarman" and he (and sometimes she) is delivering at The Market at the Palms and now also via our new website: www.sugarman.co.za

In addition, we also do supply fudge directly on request. For more information in  this regard, contact us on gloriousfudge@gmail.com or orders@sugarman.co.za

Over recent times, we have introduced or re-introduced interesting flavours including ginger, black forest, vanilla and honey fudges.

So isn't it time you visited us either at The Palms or Porter Markets on a Saturday or sent an email to gloriousfudge@gmail.com anytime?

Easter Fudge Production Undaunted by Rain

In spite of Easter weekend rain in Cape Town today, our range of Glorious Fudge delectables have been freshly created and crafted as always and are available. The Two Oceans Marathon may be running in the wet, but Porter Market is not and has understandably shut doors for today.

If you had planned to get a packet or two of our fudge or maybe an Easter Fudge Bunny or an Easter Chocolate & Fudge Medallion and were hoping to dash to along to the Porter Market, then you are out of luck... well not quite. The good news is that if you live in parts of the Southern Suburbs we will deliver today at no charge [see details in our post of 9 February 2012 below]

Contact us by email at gloriousfudge@gmail.com or phone us on  021 715 7130

Chocolate Fudge Easter Bunny

A Chocolate & Fudge Medallion

Easter Fudge Bunny, chocolate coated =  R 9.50
Easter Fudge Bunny, uncoated             =  R 8.00
Easter Chocolate & Fudge Medallion    = R16.00

We Kept Price Increases at Bay for as Long as Possible.

Unfortunately and reluctantly, we have had to increase the prices of our selection of delectable fudges. To keep the quality of our fudge the same, we have had to pay more over the past few months for the ingredients as well as battle with rising electricity and transport costs.

Our Traditional Butter Fudge now comes in at R6.00 per piece as does our Brown Sugar Fudge; Cranberry Fudge; Coconut Ice and Chocolate Fudge Brownies.Packets of 6 sell at a discounted rate of R30.00 per packet.

The individual pieces of fudge with chocolate layers are R7.00 each and are packed 5 in a packet for R30.00. Currently flavours in this range are our popular Choc Cocoa Fudge and our new Cherry Fudge with a chocolate Kirsch topping!

Our top of the range triple decker Wellington Square (see photo in our 9 February photo below) with layers of chocolate, fudge and shortbread cost R8.00 a piece and a packet with 4 pieces is R30.

From time to time, we make available some of our American style chocolate fudge Prices for these round fudges come in at R8 per piece or R7 per piece for 3 or more.

Our ever popular choc fudge, bite-sized nuggets (see photo in our 13 August 2011 entry) are availabe at R10 per packet.

To taste our range and to get hold of some of our decadent fudge, we invite you to visit us at Porter Market in Tokai on Saturday mornings or the new Baxter Food & Produce Market in Rondebosch on Sundays. We also deliver free of delivery costs to much of the Southern Suburbs (see details and conditions under 9 February, but please note that the prices are now in line with the new rates).

A price list can be emailed on request.

Thanks for your support. We look forward to producing the same top quality fudges for you in the near future!

Baxter Market vs Cycle Tour

Today was to have been the second time this year for the new Baxter Food & Goods Market. However today was also the huge Cape Argus Pick n Pay Cycle Tour around the Cape Peninsula. This is reportedly the largest timed cycle event in the world and many of the major roads in and around Cape Town are closed for parts of the day. As a result, many Capetonians and visitors who don't have to travel, stay at home.

On the strength of this, we were informed that the Baxter Market would not open today, but all being well, we hope to be there come Sunday18 March. So look for us in the Baxter Theatre gardens from 10.30am. The best fudge will be in Rondebsoch. Good luck if you are cycling today, especially if you don't have some of our fudge for instant energy!

Fudge now at new Baxter Food & Goods Market in Rondebosch

The new Baxter Food & Goods Market opens its doors on Sunday 4 March 2012 and Fudge Glorious Fudge will be there. We will be offering our special range of traditional butter based fudges as well as some of our American style chocolate fudge. Chocolate Fudge Brownies, our newest mouth-watering product will also be on sale for the first time. So don't forget to ask for a taste of this new delectable treat.

The easiest way to find the market is to look for the Baxter sign on the Main Road, Rondebosch [photo below]. Then follow the line of stalls up through the Baxter Garden until you find our stand to the right, under the shade of a giant fig tree. The market, with an expected collection of about 60 stalls, will be tempting you with range of home-made foods and goods. Its open from 10.30am until 5.00pm. See you there!

The Baxter Market is very close to thos sign on the Main Road, Rondebosch

Under the trees is where we will be, come Sunday morning.
