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.
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.

Glorious Fudge, Easter Eggs and Easter Markets.
This Easter weekend, we invite you to visit us at three Cape Town markets for some of the best fudge to be found in the Western Cape.
On Saturday morning, we will be at our regular Porter Estate Produce Market in Tokai [open from 9.00am until 1.00pm] and The Market at the Palms in Woodstock [open from 9.00am until 2.00pm]. On Sunday 31 March we will be at the Natural Goods Market at Canal Walk [open from 9.00am until 2.00pm].
We have also recently brought out a new type of fudge , which we call chocolate marshmallow fudge. Quite a mouthful of a name, but then so is this fudge... quite a[delightful] mouthful.
A combination of chocolate and fudge with a slightly "springy" texture. Maybe a little like eating a chocolate fudge marshmallow. A bit difficult to describe really... so best just to come along and taste for yourself at one of the markets this weekend.
Oh yes and Easter Eggs and Easter Bunnies. We have some specially wrapped up for you. They are also made from the chocolate marshmallow fudge
So we hope you will visit us at a market near you this weekend.

Taste Demerara Sugar Fudge at Natural Goods Market
Today looks like a brilliant sunny day here in Cape Town. Its ideal weather to visit the Natural Goods Market at Canal Walk today. The market is open from 9.00 and there is always a selection of stalls to get something for breakfast and later on for lunch. Browse around and you will of course find our Glorious Fudge stand.
We have another great selection of fudges including our new Demerara Sugar Fudge. This less refined brown sugar adds a certain earthiness to the fudge flavour. Demerara Sugar is named after a previous name of Guyana in South America from where this sugar was grown. Fortunately, we did not have to go that far to get the sugar and you wan't have to go any further than the Natural Goods Market to get a piece or a packet of out Demerara Fudge creation.
So before you leave the market, come along, taste from our range and stock up with some sweet delights from our stand. Please note that we do not supply the cheese and grapes at the market, but usually there are stallholders supplying these items.
To get the special sugar you could of course you could go all the way to Guyana, but then you will only get the sugar and miss out on our delicious Demerara Fudge!

Coconut Fudge at Waldorf Night Market
We invite you to come to our stall this evening and taste our Coconut Fudge, a fairly new addition to our range. All it takes to make is some of the best fudge around, to which we add coconut milk and some desiccated coconut plus a whole heap of magic and hey-presto there's Coconut Fudge!
Apart from Coconut Fudge, we also have many other flavours on offer including Traditional Butter Fudge, Demerara Sugar Fudge, Wellington Squares [a bit like Millionaire's Shortbread, but with fudge inside], cranberry fudge and ginger fudge. Oh yes we also have two brand new flavours on offer. So come along to stall number 42 in the hall at Waldorf Constantia tonight and we can show you our range. For your convenience, the fudge is available in pieces or packets. The only problem is which flavour to choose. One great solution is to select your flavours and we can bag the pieces for you.

Valentine's Day Fudge - better Late than Never
Is your valentine a fudge fanatic? Did you remember to get some flavoursome fudge? If not, it may not be too late to save the day ... and your valentine. Contact us. After all, we are known in some circles as the fudge fundis. Yes and maybe also known for cobbling together alternate alliterations.
Unfortunately, unseasonal summer rain put a damper on the Porter Estate Market, so our regular customers and new visitors alike, were unable to get access to our Valentine's Day delectables at a wet outdoor market. So this is your final chance to get some for you and your valentine. Tomorrow is Valentine's and we still have a handful of specially presented fudge packets and tins in stock.
On the other hand things were really humming and indeed thumping at The Market at the Palms as they celebrated their 1st Birthday last Saturday. Mr Cat & the Jackal were there loud and clear and visually the Cape Town Rollergirls were very much in evidence as well. The market was extremely busy and the fudge found many happy purchasers. It was a great day and a memorable 1st year celebration.
This coming Saturday the weather promises to be kind to us. So we look forward to seeing you at one of our two regular markets. Indoors at The Palms or making the most of mid-February sunshine at The Porter Estate Produce Market. It may also not be too late to get that a belated packet of Valentine's Day fudge!
