The Great EsCake

With advice from school that Tandia needs to do lots of reading over the coming holiday, what better way than to get Elford to make her read!

Such a fitting story for our little toothless child (one front tooth has been missing for a while)...All I want for Christmas is my 2 front teeth!

And here we have our treats menu, available on a pre-order basis.

There are limited quantities on certain items, so once they're sold, we will not be replenishing.

Orders open until Saturday 16th December, for collection in the following week.

Happy ordering!

Let's hope Elford doesn't tuck into the chocolates!

He looks pretty chilled to me.

When you're utterly exhausted, you gotta rally the troops!

Embracing the beauty of simplicity in a complex world.

Simplicity often brings clarity and elegance to various aspects of life. What would prompt this reflection on simplicity for you?

Amidst current challenging economic times, where the air is thick with uncertainty and financial constraints grip us tightly, we find ourselves navigating through the aftermath of the recent significant 44% devaluation of our local currency.

We appreciate the hardships faced by our customers, and we empathize with the struggle to maintain a healthy cash flow. The recent economic downturn has not spared us either, prompting us to reevaluate our pricing.

With a commitment to weathering these financial storms alongside our valued customers, we have undertaken the task of adjusting our pricing with a delicate touch. Recognizing the need to share the burden, we have absorbed a substantial portion of the cost impacts, striving to cushion the blow and soften the economic impact on our loyal patrons.

As a result of these considerations, we want to be transparent about the adjustments we've made: the effective average increase across our range of snacks stands at 26%, a measure taken to strike a balance between sustaining our business and keeping our products within reach for our customers.
In the face of adversity, we remain unwavering in our dedication to cost-effectiveness and affordability. Our commitment to delivering quality and maintaining high standards remains resolute. We want to assure our customers that every adjustment made is with their well-being and satisfaction in mind.

It is our hope that as the economic landscape evolves, we can continue to adapt and find innovative ways to serve our community. In the meantime, we extend our gratitude to our customers for their continued support and understanding as we navigate these challenging economic waters together.

We truly appreciate the immense support and contributions to our event that took place on Saturday.

Despite the numerous other activities that were taking place, we currently sit with under 300 cupcakes left; we still have requests for cupcakes coming in, as well as pledges and donations.

For those that would still like to pledge their support and contributions, please do let me know so we can arrange for your cupcakes to get to you.

We will be finalising our numbers by noon today, whereafter, we have one generous sponsor that has pledged to pay for the remainder of the cupcakes, to enable us to reach our target!

This has been an incredible journey, and we are overwhelmed with all the support received. We humbly thank you for your contributions and truly appreciate you all. Your generosity has left us speechless!!!

Once again, a huge vote of thanks to all our sponsors, who have allowed us to make this initiative a success, and ensure those in need, receive the necessary attention through the provision of free biospies.

Please remember that offers free Breast Cancer screening services at the Dream Centre in Mandala, every Wednesday and Friday morning. If you haven't already, please make sure to head on over and have yourself checked.

To all that contributed towards today's success, a huge thank you! Your support, your encouragement, your contribution, in any way, has been super!

We believe we have had great success today, in spreading awareness, sharing access to the resources the Breast Cancer Care Foundation has to offer, and finally, our ultimate aim of raising funds towards their continued provision of free resources!

Whilst we tally the extent of today's success, I just wanted to extend our deepest gratitude for everyone's contribution to today! This is something that we would not have been able to achieve single-handedly. We have indeed broken new ground, and I foresee this becoming an annual event worth pursuing.

And we're super excited that we have received another donation, to enable us to donate 100 cupcakes to a worthy cause.

That brings our total sales to 650 for the day!

This week, we're back with more fundraising.

The Breast Cancer Care Foundation here in Malawi is doing an amazing job in raising the awareness of the disease in Malawi. With 1 in 8 women being diagnosed as having Breast Cancer, and being a cause close to my heart, every little counts.

So pop on over to Red every Friday afternoon during October to help support the cause. We will be donating a percentage of sales on selected items to the Foundation.

During Breast Cancer Awareness Month, we always pledge our services, and embark on Fundraising activities to support the amazing work the Breast Cancer Care Foundation undertakes, in both creating awareness, providing valuable information, and free services towards early detection.

So join us this year as we work on developing this new initiative which seeks to raise funds towards the Foundation's ability to provide free biospies.

Meeting this target would allow the Foundation to continue with this FREE service for at least another year!!!!

We have already received tremendous support from the community, where all ingredients for this initiative have been kindly donated. All it now means is that we provide the baked goods, and will be able to receive ALL the money raised on this day!

Look out for more information in the coming days, and let's rally all the support this October!
