Fudge Delivered to Your Doorstep in the Constantia Valley

Dear fudge aficionados, we would like to tell you about our fudge delivery service within the Constantia Valley.

This may be of special interest to you if you used to get your fudge from us at Porter Estate Market. We are currently not selling our range of fudges at Porter Market, so we are sure that you would be pleased to hear that we deliver 2 or more of our R35 packets free within the Constantia Valley (there may be a surcharge for the delivery of one packet).

If you prefer to come along and taste our fudges and buy your pieces and packets as before, then you are welcome to visit us at the Market at The Palms in Woodstock, where we continue to sell our fudge between 9.00am and 2.00pm on Saturday mornings. Another plus for The Palms Market is the covered parking. With autumn and wet weather approaching, you don't have to get your feet wet walking from your car to this indoor market.

early Saturday - setting up at The Palms

To order your fudge directly from us, either phone us on 021 - 715 7130 or send an email to gloriousfudge@gmail.com and let us know which flavours we can deliver.

Our range of fudge flavours may include traditional butter, brown sugar, vanilla, cranberry, coconut, honey, ginger, chocolate marshmallow, double chocolate and Wellingtons Squares [delectable fudge sandwiched between a layer of chocolate and shortbread biscuit] which could be the "plain" or "espresso coffee" variety. You may also like to order our new "vegan" fudge.

Please note that we do not always have stocks of all flavours, nor large quantities of any, so please give us a day or two for delivery. We can sometimes deliver same day and usually within 24 hours, depending upon the type or the quantity.

Valentine's Day is Just Around the Corner

Friday 14th February is Valentine's Day. Tomorrow is not too early to get some Glorious Fudge for that special person or indeed those special people in your life. In the Cape Town area, we will be back at The Palms Market in Woodstock and Porter Estate Market (weather permitting) in Tokai.

We will be doing up some of our packets with Valentine's Day heart ribbons. They will look something like the photo depicted here.

Valentine;s Day or St Valentine's Day is supposedly named after a Roman Saint who died on 14 February. He does not appear to be listed any longer as a saint within the Roman Catholic Church, but 14 February is reportedly listed as a commemoration day in the Anglican Church for "Valentine, a martyr of Rome", stemming from about AD 269.

However, we need not concern ourselves with these details, unless we particularly wish to, of course. Much more to the point, is to use this day to give flowers or confectionery or to send cards. We can of course help with the confectionery. Our range of fudges have proven to be very popular with anyone with a sweet tooth. They appreciate a fudge that is as smooth and natural as possible.

So this year, why not do something really sweet for your Valentine and say it with Fudge Glorious Fudge?

Not the Cheapest Fudge in Cape Town

If you shop around, we are sure that you will find cheaper fudge at some markets and shops in Cape Town. We at Fudge Glorious Fudge, don't make cheap, we don't sell cheap, we don't even like the word cheap. Cheap leaves a nasty taste in our mouths, just as cheap fudge might do in yours. So enough about cheap.

Wellington Squares - with coffee or without?

 Our fudge is more expensive because we use top ingredients and we don't take any shortcuts when we make our butter fudge. There lies the first clue. All our fudge has butter as an important ingredient. Some cheap fudge is made with margarine and then instead of stirring slowly and lovingly on the stove top, some fudge is bunged into a microwave and a few moments later, hey presto, you have grainy, sugary fudge. The sugar hasn't even had time to dissolve properly and the fudge is often a light brown or yellowish colour as the sugar hasn't had time or the right method to caramelise.

We are proud of the fact that our fudge has a relatively short shelf life (see the expiry date on the bottom of our packets). Some fudges are pumped full of preservatives, artificial colourants and flavourants with scary sounding names and formulas. We add nothing like that. Sure, our vanilla fudge has vanilla added, but it is genuine vanilla extract rather than artificial vanilla essence.

A few of the added products such as the marshmallows in marshmallow chocolate fudge, gets blended with our fudge and comes along with whatever has been used in the manufacturing process of that product, but we ourselves do not add artificial additives.

So for a superior fudge, we charge a little bit more. We are sure that you will appreciate it.

New Year's Resolutions and Fudge Glorious Fudge

We would like to take this opportunity to thank all our loyal clients for their support during 2013 and look forward to seeing you again at one of the markets next year.

As many have discovered, we also make to order and would be delighted to find out how we can help to sweeten up your life or the lives of your family and friends during the year ahead.

Can we let you into a little secret? We have noticed that for the first two to three weeks of the year, some of our regular customers say "no" to our fudge, but by the fourth week of the year most resistance to our "simply delicious" fudge has totally crumbled.

So our "new year's message" is - certainly cut back on things in the new year, but why suffer the agony and torment from deprivation of our "simply irresistible" fudge? You know you want it. You don't need to eat it by the packet full. A piece here and a piece there should do the trick. Rather cut back on those "other things".

That way you can ease your way into 2014 without angst and anguish.

So there you have it - "sweet solutions to your new year's resolutions!"

Wishing you all of the best for 2014!

Back at The Waldorf Night Market today

Fudge Glorious Fudge are back again at The Constantia Waldorf Night Market from 5.00 till 9.00pm today. Look out for our table inside the hall. You cannot miss our hand-crafted sign.

We will have many of our ever popular flavours available as pieces or packets. As we are approaching December, there will also be some festive season packets on sale.

How to get to Constantia Waldorf School. -
The school is in the heart of the Constantia Valley on Spaanschemat River Road. For those who live in the Constantia Valley, Waldorf Constantia is easy to find. You know where Peddlars on the Bend Restaurant and Pub is and the school is right next door.

If driving south on the M3 freeway from the direction of Cape Town, take exit 15 marked "M38 Kendal Road". Turn right at end of off-ramp and then left at T-junction. Drive straight on at the set of traffic lights, follow the road as it bends to the right and then left. You can't miss Peddlars on the Bend and the school is immediately after that.

If travelling north, from the direction of Muizenberg, take exit 16 marked "M39 Ladies Mile". Turn left at the end of the off ramp and first left again. Shortly after that Peddlars on the Bend appears on the right followed by Waldorf.

These directions may be detailed, but they are quite easy to follow and we would not want you to miss some of the best fudge in Constantia. And of course the rest of Waldorf Night Market is not too bad either.

The Waldorf Market usually operates on the last Friday of October, November, January and February and we are not able to get there every time. For other weekends you can find our fudge for sale in the Constantia Valley at Porter Estate Market in Tokai every Saturday morning from 9.00am until 1.00pm

Why many Fudge Connoisseurs Claim our Fudge to be the Best Fudge in Cape Town

We thank the many fudge connoisseurs who comment so favourably to us about our fudge.They nearly all mention how smooth our fudge is. They talk to us about the golden brown colour of our more traditional fudges and the amazing flavours of our more different fudges. The ginger, the honey, the cranberry and vanilla fudges all get their favourable comments. "Where is your coconut fudge today" is a question we were asked last week. Alas, we had already sold out by the time the customer had got to Porter Market.

Golden-brown, super-smooth traditional butter fudge

The Wellington Squares are sometimes confused with the very similar "millionaire's shortbread". Millionaire's shortbread usually has a caramel filling, whilst our Wellington Squares have our traditional butter fudge sandwiched between chocolate and shortbread biscuit. A lady from England thought our Wellington Squares had caramel in the middle, but when she heard it had our smooth, creamy butter fudge instead, she bought a packet without hesitation.

"Three packets of your ginger fudge please" was another recent request. Unfortunately we had again sold out. "Get more stocks then" was a comment made by a customer keen on a certain flavour, that we did not have.

We do not like to keep large stocks though as we want to sell fudge that is as fresh as possible. Our more traditional fudges keep for more than a month and our chocolate and biscuit fudges for about 3 weeks, but even so, we turn out fresh batches weekly.

You can get some fudges in the shops which will keep for 3 months or longer, but they are pumped full of preservatives. Our fudges have no additives. We like like to make them as natural as possible for you. And that is another reason that our customers appreciate our superior fudges and we thank our regular connoisseurs for their continual support.
