Fudge for Mother on Mother's Day

Does your mother like fudge? If she does, then tomorrow is the ideal time to buy her some for Mother's Day. Visit us, if you live in Cape Town, at The Porter Estate Produce Market  in Tokai from 9.00am until 1.00pm, or The Market at The Palms in Woodstock from 9.00am until about 2.00pm. The fudge is available in packets or as pieces or we can put some different flavours of fudge in a packet for you.

Your mother may enjoy receiving one of our more recent fudge creations, including coconut fudge, demerara sugar fudge and chocolate marshmallow fudge. Some of our other interesting types of fudge include honey fudge, cranberry fudge, ginger fudge and wellington squares [similar to millionaire's shortbread, except with fudge in the centre instead of caramel]. Our wellington squares can also be purchased with or the inclusion of espresso to give a rich warm coffee flavour. For a more traditional "you can't go wrong" type of fudge, there is our traditional butter fudge and for a slight twist from the traditional, why not buy our brown sugar fudge or our vanilla fudge?

Fudge back at Porter Estate Market and the Market at The Palms.

We hope you missed us and our fudge last weekend. We certainly missed you.

We decided to take a short break and visit the Garden Route last week. Whilst there, we took the opportunity to visit the Harkerville Market located on the N2 between Plettenberg Bay and Knysna. This market also operates on a Saturday morning and being an outdoor market, it reminds us a bit of "our own" Porter Estate Market. The market was busy in spite of the fact that the ground was wet after recent rains. A little later in the morning, we drove past the Wild Oats Community Farmers' Market at Sedgefield, but unfortunately did not have time to visit there on this trip. This popular market opens early and closes at 11.30am. If you enjoy markets, then we would suggest a visit to both of these markets when visiting the Garden Route.

The good news is that we will be back at the Market at The Palms and The Porter Estate Produce Market again this coming Saturday [11 May 2013]. So look out for us on Saturday morning. We hope to have a good selection of our ever popular fudge flavours including Traditional Butter Fudge, Brown Sugar Butter Fudge, Vanilla Fudge and then some of our more unusual fudges such as honey, coconut and ginger. Top of the range, we will probably also have our Wellington Squares [similar to millionaire's shortbread] and our Espresso Wellington Squares for you to taste and purchase.

Getting ready for the market
So this weekend you can stock up on some of your favourite fudge flavours at The Palms in Woodstock or Porter Market in Tokai. Fudge is also great for a road trip. One of our regular customers loves the Kalahari National Park and before her family heads up there 3 or 4 times a year, she comes along to Porter and stocks up with a couple of packets for the journey. So whether you are travelling to the Kalahari or the Garden Route, stock up with our fudge before you go. Some fudge out there is certainly not what we would call "glorious" and I'm sure, as you are a fudge connoisseur, you would agree.
